Our New Logo
Since August 2018, we have a new logo which you now see on the header of our present web site. The hand reaching out represents our Centre offering help and love. The dove holding the heart in it’s beak symbolizes love, hope, healing and freedom, which is the heart of our mission.
About Miriam Centre
Miriam Centre opened its doors July 1, 1988. The Centre was born from the desire of a group of concerned people wanting to offer life affirming options to all who find the circumstances surrounding their pregnancy difficult.
- Our primary goal is ministering love and compassion to pregnant women in need and giving them new hope.
- Mothers and their families can come to the Centre both before and after the birth of their baby for emotional support and practical help.
- We also reach out with love and compassion to those grieving the loss of a child through abortion, miscarriage or infant death. We listen to them with respect and help them find peace and healing.
- All women are welcome, married or single, regardless of age or situation, as well as all those involved in their pregnancy.
- All our services are free and confidential and offered in English or French.
- Miriam Centre is a registered charity that receives no government funding.
Why the name Miriam?
In the Bible, the story of the birth of Moses talks about Miriam who watched over her baby brother whose life was in danger. He had been placed in a basket on the Nile River. In the same way that Miriam saved her baby brother, Miriam Centre’s mission is to protect life.
