Pro-Life Home Serves Mothers Who Are ‘Alone in the World’

Home. For all of us, the word brings images to mind. Home is meant to be a place of comfort and safety, but for some women facing unplanned pregnancies, this isn't the case. And that's why St. Gianna and Pietro Molla Home in Warsaw, North Dakota, exists. 


“There are so many people who really are alone in the world who might not, in North Dakota, be on the streets homeless, but maybe they're living coach the coach,” says Mary Pat Jahner, director of the North Dakota home. “Maybe they have family, but ... there would not be a means for gas money to [go to] an appointment or to get a car seat or things like that. So, you know, those are the people that we serve, the people who are alone in the world,” Jahner, founder of the St. Gianna and Pietro Molla Home, explains. 


For 20 years, the large residence has provided expectant and new mothers with a place not only to find safety and provision, but also community and the love of Christ during and after their pregnancies


“We live as a family,” Jahner says of the home for mothers. “We just have a few moms at a time and give them as much love during their time here as we can.” 


Jahner joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share the mission of the St. Gianna and Pietro Molla Home, as well as stories of the women who have found refuge at the home over the years.

  • Should Christians Support Israel?

    17:29
    Long before Hamas’ horrific Oct. 7 attack on Israel, the Jewish homeland was already a flash point of controversy on college campuses and among an increasingly anti-Israel segment of younger Americans who make up Gen Z.Jeff Myers, president of Summit Ministries, had taken note of the troubling trend and embarked on a trip to Israel just about 100 days after the Oct. 7 attack to meet with Jews and Arabs, peace activists, and soldiers.He’s now written a new book, “Should Christians Support Israel? Seeking a Biblical Worldview in an Impossible Situation,” which Summit Ministries is making available for free with a donation.“Jews have a physical presence in the land of their history,” Myers said. “Whether you agree with how it happened or how they are stewarding it, this is the reality. It is also a reality that Israel is under attack from every quarter in a battle between competing worldviews. The history of Palestine, the religion of Islam, and the aims of the apocalyptic rape-and-death cult called Hamas all figure in a larger struggle for truth. This is what we urgently need to understand.”Myers spoke with The Daily Signal at the Road to Majority Policy Conference last week about why he’s dedicating his time to helping Christians understand the Israel-Palestine conflict.
