Healing
from the Wounds of Abortion and Respecting Life
Anyone
who is wounded by abortion can find healing, hope, and forgiveness through
Project Rachel or Project Joseph, which provides free, confidential,
professional counseling and spiritual direction. Call 314-792-7565, email stlprojectrachel@archstl.org or stlprojectjoseph@archstl.org, or go online to STLProjectRachel.org.

Anyone
called to take a more active role in protecting the most innocent of human

more information. At the Archdiocesan
level, you can consider participating in programs and services provided by the
Respect Life Apostolate of the Archdiocese by going to their website

All
of us can pray for an end to
abortion, for healing of those wounded by abortion, for those considering
abortion that they may be touched by the grace of God and choose life for their
child, and for the protection of all human life from conception until natural
death.
