What started in this very diocese by University of Notre Dame Professor Janet Smith, has blossomed into the largest pregnancy center in the country. With 33 centers in 12 states (16 centers in Indiana alone), serving over 30,000 women a year. And right here in northern Indiana, every other baby born starts with Women’s Care Center.
A Lasting LegacyDr. Mike Mastrangelo and his wife, Grace, have been providing scholarships for Dwenger students since 1993. Over 30 students have received a scholarship for each of the four years they attended Bishop Dwenger High School. Their generosity to scholarships was also equaled by their support of Saints Alive!, capital improvement projects, and extensive volunteer work.

St. Joseph Missions Women’s Shelter (SJMWS) is a newly refurbished home located on Lake Avenue in Fort Wayne, Indiana. On the outside, one would see a large, blue two-story house nestled unexpectedly in the middle of a commercial area of the city—but inside, wonderful things are happening!

The Joy of Giving
Both Becky and I come from large families, which often means we went without. We didn’t have a lot during our childhood, but we were always taken care of and provided for. |
