Help Launch Springs of Love in Orange County

Springs of Love is beginning to grow in Orange County, and we are gathering parishioners who want to help support vulnerable children and families.

Whether you are a foster, adoptive, or kinship family, discerning foster care or adoption, or simply looking for a way to serve, we would love to hear from you.

Please complete the brief interest survey below. Your response will help us understand who is interested, what families may need, and what next steps would be most helpful in Orange County.

We are especially looking for:

• Foster, adoptive, and kinship families
• Couples or individuals discerning foster care or adoption
• Parishioners who want to offer practical support
• People open to helping organize a parish effort
• Donors who want to help sustain this mission locally

Starting September 20: Building Belonging

Springs of Love is offering a Building Belonging small group this fall for foster, adoptive, and kinship parents, as well as those who are thinking about fostering or adopting.

Building Belonging is designed to help families find encouragement, community, and practical formation so they do not have to walk this road alone.
