As we anticipate a final ruling in June regarding the Dobbs v. Jackson case along with the possible repeal of Roe v. Wade, the USCCB has put together valuable video resources that you and your pastoral team may find helpful as you continue to minister to pregnant women and women who have suffered through an abortion and need healing. 

Project Rachel Ministry, led in our diocese by Luisa de Poo, offers immediate help to those who suffer from abortion.   Unfortunately, recent research indicates that many are not aware of the Church’s ministry to those in need of this care and see the Church as harsh rather than compassionate and merciful, which is not true.

The US Bishops are working to assist your parish with a variety of new video resources avaliable in both in English & Spanish. Click the button below.

O Mary, bright dawn of the new world, Mother of the living, to you do we entrust the cause of life.

Look down, O Mother upon the vast numbers of babies not allowed to be born, of the poor whose lives are made difficult, of men and women who are victims of brutal violence, of the elderly and the sick killed by indifference or out of misguided mercy.

Grant that all who believe in Your Son may proclaim the Gospel of life with honesty and love to the people of our time. Obtain for them the grace to accept that Gospel as a gift ever new, the joy of celebrating it with gratitude throughout their lives and the courage to bear witness to it resolutely, in order to build, together with all people of good will, the civilization of truth and love, to the praise and glory of God, the Creator and lover of life.
