Since our doors opened in 1982, Villa Majella of Santa Barbara has supported hundreds of women 18 and over in their decision to carry their babies to term under difficult situations, whether they choose to personally parent or lovingly select an adoptive home.  Through our maternity home program, we equip and empower pregnant women. We provide a safe, supportive and structured living community, pregnancy care, educational programming, and guidance to ensure stability during pregnancy and beyond.

Our staff serves to inform, encourage, and assist our program participants by providing them with services within a safe and nurturing environment that fosters their physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being.  We are a non-profit and non-denominational organization, funded largely by local foundations and individual donations.
