2013 Parish Spiritual Adoption Program

NINE MONTH SPIRITUAL ADOPTION PROGRAM sponsored by our Parish Pro-Life Committee The program involves a commitment to pray--throughout a typical nine-month gestational period--for an expectant mother and her pre-born child, who might be threatened by abortion. The spiritually adopted pair is known only to God, but those with faith entrust their prayers to Him.

Spiritual Adoption emphasizes the power of prayer in safeguarding life in the mother's womb. Through prayer, you can intercede and help save a baby from being aborted. Say a daily prayer for your spiritually adopted baby for 9 months, with the hope that this baby will be given the fullness of life, as God intended. You may give your baby a name if you'd like. Nine months is a long duration for a prayer commitment, but who knows how many souls may be affected by our prayers, through God's grace?
Our Spiritual adoption program will culminate with a baby shower in October to benefit the diocesan St. Gianna Molla Pregnancy Care Center.
 
Conception:
At the moment of conception, a unique human person was created--me! Remarkably, even though just a single cell, I already have the entire blueprint that will define my eye and hair color, adult height, and aptitude for math, art, and sports. All that is required now is nourishment, a safe home in which to live and grow, and a loving family.
"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you." Jeremiah 1:5
