Good Counsel is a private Catholic agency whose primary mission is to help homeless pregnant women by providing a loving family environment in a safe and secure shelter.
Begun in 1985 by Fr. Benedict Groeschel and Chris Bell, both leaders in the pro-life movement, Good Counsel has grown to five homes in the New York greater metropolitan area. Working closely with the Sisters of Life, through their Lumina outreach, they have developed an outstanding program of support and healing for those suffering from abortion related problems.
Women receive educational and vocational assistance and professional counseling. Mothers staying with them are able to learn a trade and map out goals to achieve success in their lives while at Good Counsel, and when they move on to new, independent lives.
