Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Palm Beach is deeply grateful to announce the receipt of a $10,000 grant from The JC Foundation, Inc., designated to support the vital pro-life work of our Birthline Lifeline and Women's Pregnancy Solutions programs. The grant check and award letter were personally hand-delivered on February 10, 2026, by JC Foundation Board Member Don Rochan, reflecting the shared commitment of community leaders to uphold the dignity of life and strengthen families in need.
This generous gift will directly benefit Birthline Lifeline and the Women's Pregnancy Solutions, programs dedicated to providing compassionate support, options counseling, and essential resources to pregnant women and families facing difficult and often uncertain circumstances. The JC Foundation’s investment ensures that vulnerable mothers can access the care, encouragement, and practical assistance necessary to choose life and build stable, hopeful futures for themselves and their children.
The JC Foundation expressed how the work of these two programs’ align closely with the vision of the JC Foundation founders, Richard and Loretta Caudill, who were themselves co-founders of Miracle House (a location of one of 3 Birthline Lifeline centers). Their legacy of faith-filled service continues to inspire meaningful outreach that uplifts the most vulnerable members of our community.
“We are incredibly thankful to The JC Foundation for their generosity and continued trust in our mission,” said Ellen T. Wayne, Catholic Charities CEO. “Their support strengthens our ability to accompany mothers with compassion, provide life-affirming services, and affirm the dignity of every person.”
Board Member Don Rochan’s personal delivery of the award symbolizes the strong partnership between Catholic Charities and dedicated philanthropic partners who believe in our work. Together, we are building a community where every mother is supported, every child is welcomed, and every family has access to hope and opportunity.
Catholic Charities remains committed to serving those most in need throughout the Diocese of Palm Beach. We extend our heartfelt thanks to The JC Foundation for their generosity and for helping make life-affirming care possible.
