Children’s laughter floated from the back of the Restoration Pregancy Resource Center as receptionist Magdeline Blanco answers the phone.

“I’m blessed. How are you?” she cheerily responded to the caller.

Sixty-seven-year-old Blanco will tell anyone that God has greatly blessed her, even as she relates how her eldest son passed away and she lost her home in Hurricane Katrina. One of those many blessings, she said, has been the Senior Employment program, sponsored by Catholic Charities, which allows her to work with the pregnancy center.
