About Us
Under the pastoral leadership of Archbishop José H. Gomez we collaborate to live and proclaim the gospel. Christ announced the reign of God. We are the instrument of this reign in the world. We commit ourselves to build a community of faith and love. With Christ, we bring good news to the poor. We commit ourselves to eliminate the many faces of poverty in our midst— spiritual, economic, and moral. With Christ, we uphold the dignity of human life. We commit ourselves to cherish each person and to be faithful stewards of God’s creation.

Vision:
Born Ready is a forum to empower, equip, mobilize, and resource Catholics to fulfill their baptismal call to serve women, children, and families, especially women in difficult and unexpected pregnancies.
Mission:
On January 22, the Bishops of California issued a statement committing to a vision of support for women, children and families. This is who we are as Catholics. For more than 2000 years, Catholics have cared for the most vulnerable by founding the first hospitals, orphanages, and social safety nets. We provide food, drink, clothing, shelter, healthcare, visit the sick and imprisoned, comfort the afflicted and the dying. We were born ready.

Now, as some states in the US ban abortion and others seek to be abortion destinations, Catholics will stand in the gap to support women, children, and families with life affirming resources. We want every child, every woman, every family, to be supported in their dignity as a child of God, knowing that they too, are born ready.
Every diocese across the state has joined this movement, together we are letting the world know we are here to empower and support women. Explore our page so you too, can be part of this movement.
