The Apostolic Nuncio to Bolivia, Archbishop Ivo Scapolo, inaugurated a new crisis pregnancy center in La Paz, Bolivia on October 29.

The nuncio blessed the facilities and each person who will be working there, emphasizing the professional and evangelical focus of the center in its welcoming and support of pregnant women. The center will help soon-to-be mothers appreciate their maternity and avoid being influenced by anti-life policies that encourage an abortion mentality.

The center is the first of its kind in the Bolivian capital. Volunteers will help the center’s staff attend to those seeking assistance either in person or over the phone.
