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 SEVEN AND EIGHT DEVELOPING BABY-APRIL You are in the home stretch with your spiritually adopted baby. He is completely formed and has been since about 8 weeks. All he is doing now is gaining weight and making his mom uncomfortable with his size. In a short time the baby will be born. His mother has plans to take him home or to place him for adoption into a loving family. She knows she can receive assistance from the church and the pregnancy help centers. Your baby’s mother appreciates the prayers that you have said for her and her baby throughout her pregnancy. It has not been easy, but your prayers have given her the grace to seek the help she needs.
