Project Rachel. After more than four decades of legalized abortion, many children’s lives have been ended, and many parents and family members suffer that loss—often in silence. Yet God’s greatest desire is to forgive. No matter how far we have strayed from His side, He says to us, “Don’t be afraid. Draw close to my heart.”
Meet Karen. She is 23 years old and finished college last year and landed the job of her dreams in graphic arts. The work is creative and challenging. Karen is pretty and has many friends so she is frequently included in the party circuit at work. She should be happy and excited. After all, her life is beginning just as she carefully planned it. But instead, she feels dead and dull inside. She keeps up with her job, but it doesn’t bring the joy she thought it would. She feels distant from its satisfactions. She doesn’t feel as creative as she once was, and doesn’t understand the dull distant sorrowing she feels despite her accomplishments. Karen had an abortion in college. Read Karen's full story.

Welcome the Stranger
We are excited to provide you with an update on the Welcome the Stranger Parish-Family Liaison Program. As you may have heard, we've been paired with a young family of three with a baby on the way. We are grateful for the support from our community so far! Thank you for helping us hit our initial fundraising goal of $10,000. However, after careful evaluation, we believe that this amount may not be sufficient to cover the family's expenses for the intended duration of six months. Please use the button below to follow information on our website or continue to follow the eNews and parish bulletin for ways we can continue showing healing, hope and hospitality as we Welcome the Stranger!
