Upholding Human DignityWe are committed to reflecting Christ's love and mercy to every person who enters our pregnancy centers. We do this by:

Celebrating Catholic IdentityScripture makes it clear that each and every person is made in the image and likeness of God. This is the source of our belief in the inherent dignity of the human person and is the cornerstone of all Catholic social teaching. The Church strongly states that human dignity begins at the moment of conception. That is the root of JMJ’s passion as a pregnancy center. We uphold Catholic social teaching on the sanctity of life and family planning.
To be successful, we believe that everything we do needs to be rooted in our commitment to prayer for our clients. Every day begins with prayer in our chapel. |

Our History
The foundation for our action is the biblical teaching that “Faith without works is as dead as a body without breath.” (James 2:26). On March 16, 1990, Ann Drolet and Frances Murray took action and answered a call by establishing a nonprofit organization devoted to helping women and families facing unexpected pregnancies in Central Florida.
For almost thirty years, JMJ Pregnancy Center has assisted thousands of women and families in their journey through faith-based, unconditional love and FREE services.
JMJ Pregnancy Center first opened its doors on Virginia Drive, and then relocated to 1600 N. Orange Avenue in January 1992. In April of 2003, JMJ relocated their headquarters to 1400 W. Colonial Avenue, with their final relocation nine years later across the street to 1401 W. Colonial Drive.
In the spring of 1998, JMJ Pregnancy Center began expanding its outreach with the opening of new branches around Central Florida that included locations in Orlando, Kissimmee, and Saint Cloud. These branches have also had their share of relocations. Saint Cloud’s office moved to St. Thomas Aquinas Church in 2004 following the destruction of the office from the hurricanes of that year. From 2015 until 2017, the Orlando office called the Catholic Campus Ministry office within UCF’s Northview Center (located at the intersection of McCulloch Road and Lockwood Boulevard) its home. We are grateful for the support of St. Thomas Aquinas and Catholic Campus Ministry at UCF for helping us reach women and families in need in those areas.
