"What an impressive effort to reach out to pregnant women who may be struggling with the decision of whether or not to have the child... The first grace that these women need to encounter is the genuine care of others. They need to know that someone is concerned about their situation and is willing to help them out of the helplessness that is suffocating them. Candle in the Window provides the opportunity for such grace to be experienced." –Bishop David A. Zubik, Bishop of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
