Find Help.

The women who come to Mary’s Refuge are from a wide range of backgrounds and are in a variety of places in their journey. Help encourage each new mother to take positive steps towards a better, brighter future by sponsoring the Gala.

Sponsor the Gala

A society of hand-ups, not hand outs.

Every contribution to Mary’s Refuge helps us make a lasting impact on the lives of expectant mothers, giving them the opportunity to build a brighter future for themselves and their babies. Funds raised from this Gala will be used to directly support our expectant Mothers.

  • Building Maintenance
  • Food and Clothing Necessities
  • Maternity Home Utilities
  • Transportation
  • Stable Staffing

“We need your talent, your drive, and your loving support.”

Supporting neighbors and life.

Our work is only possible because of private donors like you who go the extra mile, and support our events. This ministry is foundational in helping young mothers find themselves, build a path to self-sufficiency and prepare for all that motherhood will be.

Mary’s Refuge is a 501(c) (3) ministry of St. Joseph Parish and the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, West Virginia. We rely solely on private donations and all donations directly serve our mothers and their children. All donations are tax-deductible.

Mary’s Refuge is a sanctuary for young expectant mothers who need a hand up. Our community-building program provides a stable, safe place to live during pregnancy, access to resources for prenatal care and counseling, along with career and educational opportunities.

Our 100% Pro-Life Maternity home is a place where young soon-to-be mother’s facing fear and anxiety can find a supportive and nourishing environment to anchor themselves. Mary’s Refuge acts as a gateway to motherhood, where women receive emotional, physical and spiritual support as they navigate the challenges of pregnancy and motherhood.
