Supporting Mothers With the Basic Needs of Life
Every Life Is Precious
Are you a pregnant woman in need of a safe and supportive place to stay? Are you going through a crisis pregnancy and looking for a nurturing home environment?
Mater Filius Queen City is a Catholic apostolate created to help pregnant women in Cincinnati and surrounding areas who find themselves without support. Inside the home of Mater Filius, women find the basic needs of life: shelter, food, clothes, safety, support, hope, and peace.
Our home assists women and their babies during pregnancy, childbirth, and the subsequent months after childbirth. We can help guide you towards a positive path in your life journey.
We provide more than shelter and food. We provide the ability to rise above devastating, negative elements and achieve job-readiness and self-sustainability.

Mater Filius taught me how to be a mother and an independent woman. I also learned how to love myself and see myself as a child of God. I do not know what my life would be like without Mater Filius.

Join Our Mission

Mater Filius offers transitional housing to pregnant women who find themselves without any means of support. We are rooted in Catholic tradition and welcome expectant mothers regardless of religious beliefs socio-economic status, marital status, or ethnicity.

Mater Filius is supported solely through private donations and receives NO federal or state funding. We are supported by grants, churches, businesses, fundraising events, and you. Your help enables us to offer life-giving support to those facing an unplanned pregnancy.

There are many opportunities to volunteer at Mater Filius Queen City. We need volunteers who work in our home with our mothers and their babies. We also need volunteers who work outside our home by taking care of the yard, maintenance, and much more.
