Paul Stefan Home Babies

Advent brings great joy in preparing for the coming birth of our Lord. It is also a season during which many of us look to help others in need. 

As the Lord tells us in Matthew 25:40 – “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.”

In the spirit of this Advent and Christmas Season, SMS has decided to adopt a charity, the Paul Stefan Foundation.   We encourage all of our friends to take a few minutes out to watch this short video and see how one family’s tragedy, and prayerful commitment from a priest, inspired the founding of the Paul Stefan Foundation and its Homes for Expectant Mothers.  We hope you will prayerfully consider donating to the PSF during this Advent and Christmas Season.

The PSF is an amazing story of a family (Randy, Evelyn and their children) in mourning over the death of their newborn son/brother, Paul Stefan, and a priest, Father Stefan Starzynksi, who’s prayerful reflection at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, is saving pregnant women in need and their newborn babies.  Many of these women are abandoned, homeless, or abused.  One woman the PSF found living in the woods in the back of a U-Haul — pregnant.  

With the help of a national Gas Company, these homes were founded only to lead to a third home in Virginia and in just a few years the caring and nurturing of 59 women and babies.  These three homes are now inspiring the organization to open new maternity homes in other regions across the country.

After watching this video, featuring Evelyn James, Director of Homes at the PSF, we  hope you will consider making a donation via the PSF’s Baby Bottle Campaign– link here – to help provide food, care, mom and baby essentials as well as basic home operational needs. 

Thank you so much for anything you can donate — every dollar matters.  The PSF motto is “Saving Babies, One Mom at a Time.”  By making even a small donation you are helping the PSF fulfill that mission.

Watch Mrs. James tell her heartfelt story of her family’s tragedy that inspired a blessing for so many others:
