PRO-LIFE CORNER Everyone loves the beauty and innocence of a baby. As an expression of that love, our parish announces an adoption program for young and old alike by having the opportunity to spiritually adopt a child who is newly conceived. Not all babies are allowed to be born in fact almost 4,000 babies lose their lives to abortion each day. It is these babies that you are being asked to spiritually adopt. You may spiritually adopt a baby individually or as a family by signing a pledge card (which can be found with prayer cards in the vestibule of the church). You will be asked to name the child for whom you will be praying, thereby giving the baby the humanity he or she deserves. You will be asked to pray a simple daily prayer for this baby.

MONTH FOUR DEVELOPING BABY-JANUARY Well your little baby now weighs 6 ounces. She has fingernails and eyelashes. She has her own unique finger prints which all remain unchanged until she dies. Her taste buds are working. Her sense of hearing is present at 14 weeks. There are no major bodily developments anymore. Your spiritually adopted baby is already well formed internally and externally. All she needs now is time to gain weight and to grow strong!
