In an effort to promote a culture of life, the South Korean Catholic Bishops’ Conference (CBCK) has announced it will provide shelters and financial support for single mothers and free delivery for unmarried pregnant women in Catholic-run hospitals.

The initiative, called “New Life Project,” was inaugurated by the CBCK on February 7 at a Mass presided over by Bishop Gabriel Chang Bong-hun of Cheongju, president of the CBCK Committee for Bioethics.

"The project seeks to encourage unwed pregnant women to have their babies through free delivery at hospitals, then accommodates the women following the birth of their child at 15 church and pro-life group shelters. It is funded by the continued financial support of the dioceses. In addition, the plan will also set up sex education for youth in Catholic schools and Sunday schools on preventing “unwanted pregnancy.”

Father Casimir Song Yul-sup, secretary of the Pro-life Activities, said the “New Life Project” would help many women. “**Annually, some 4,000 single women **have their babies and they are great mothers who protect life. This project is concrete action and will help them and many others greatly,” he said…"
