                       Wednesday, April 29, 2026

  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize 
the 25 years of service by Annunciation Maternity Home, an 
extraordinary ministry dedicated to affirming the dignity of every 
human life by caring for both mother and child during and after 
pregnancies.
  Since opening in Georgetown in 2001, Annunciation Maternity Home has 
become a vital pillar of support in the community, providing stability, 
compassion, and opportunities to mothers and babies in need. Through 
its comprehensive services, the organization offers safe housing and 
basic needs assistance for up to two years following the birth of a 
child, tailoring care to each mother's unique circumstances. Rooted in 
a deep commitment to the sanctity of life, the organization provides 
not only a safe home, but also the spiritual, emotional, and material 
support necessary for mothers to choose life and flourish alongside 
their children.
  Through a faith-driven, holistic approach, Annunciation walks with 
mothers every step of the way, offering housing, access to prenatal and 
postnatal care, counseling, life skills training, and opportunities for 
education and employment. Their work reflects a profound belief that 
caring for a child begins with caring for the mother, equipping women 
with the stability and confidence needed to build strong, loving 
families. As it marks this remarkable milestone, Annunciation Maternity 
Home continues to broaden its reach through the addition of new 
residential homes, a community center, and expanded childcare services, 
extending hope and opportunity to even more families in Central Texas.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing their 
extraordinary contributions and steadfast commitment to uplifting 
mothers and children, strengthening families, and enriching the entire 
community with compassion and dignity.
