Project Rachel

If you are hurting from a past abortion you are not alone.
Thousands of women and men have experienced difficulty after abortion. Hurts, concerns, and fears are normal.

Project Rachel is a Catholic post-abortion reconciliation program that allows us as Church to reach out in compassion and concern to women who have  had abortions and who are feeling the pain of alienation from God and Church. We offer help to all who have been affected by an abortion (fathers, grandparents, close friends, even medical personnel). Hope, healing and forgiveness are available through:  

• One to One Counseling – You can be referred to a trained lay person,   professional counselor or priest who can help you begin the healing process.
• Project Rachel Retreats – A scripture based weekend retreat.
• Masses of Hope & Healing –(for anyone who has lost a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth or abortion) offered at various parishes throughout the year.  

For information, call the Respect Life Office  
at 209/465-5433 or e-mail: respectlife@stocktondiocese.org.
