Birthright of Columbus, the oldest pregnancy help center in the city, will hold its annual luncheon and silent auction at 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 19 in Columbus St. Catharine’s Msgr. Sorohan Center, 500 S. Gould Road.
For 52 years, Birthright of Columbus has helped women in crisis pregnancy situations and offered support to new mothers. Birthright is staffed totally by volunteers, some of whom are in their 90s.
Louise Summerhill founded Birthright in Toronto in 1968 to be a friend to women facing unplanned crisis pregnancies and it has since expanded throughout Canada, the United States and Africa. Birthright of Columbus, which is affiliated with Birthright International of Toronto, opened its doors in October 1972.
Birthright’s pregnancy resource center can be found on Columbus’ west side in the Great Western Shopping Center, 3445 Great Western Blvd., where it moved in December 2022 from its former Mount Street location.
