How is God calling you to love?

Over 8,000 children in Kentucky are in foster care. Many long for the stability of a loving family. Yet many foster families step away because they feel alone and unsupported.

Not everyone is called to foster or adopt, but everyone can do something.

Springs of Love is a national Catholic ministry working in partnership with the Diocese of Owensboro to build parish-based support for foster and adoptive families. Our focus is to:

• Identify foster and adoptive families who may need support
• Help families discern the call to foster or adopt
• Encourage parishioners to accompany them through prayer, practical help, and small groups

Springs of Love Chapters

Springs of Love Chapters surround foster families in their community with wrap-around care, from providing meals and material needs, to setting up childcare events and, of course, prayer. Learn more.

Novena to St. Joseph

We welcome you to get involved with those in foster care through prayer.  See our Novena Prayer to Saint Joseph to get started.

Building Belonging

Building Belonging is our first program for Catholic foster and adoptive parents, and those discerning. Learn more about the program and consider joining a small group!
