This is an intercessory prayer ministry for babies in danger of abortion and their families. It runs from January through October. Check the parish bulletin and homepage for dates every January.

Each year we suggest to those who join the campaign the campaign to name their spiritually adopted babies. Click the link here to add your baby's name to our community of spiritually adopted babies.

We will collect those names and create a physical poster collage that can be viewed in the main vestibule, along with the monthly mom and baby poster during Spiritual Adoption weekends throughout the year. 

A twice per year, national prayer vigil outside local abortion clinics. Check the parish bulletin and homepage for dates closer to the event. Note the spring campaign always begins on Ash Wednesday.
