After the Loss of a Child

The Elizabeth Ministry sponsored a Prayer Service to remember babies lost through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death and offer support to those who have suffered the loss of a child.

As part of the service, candles distributed to the attendees were lit through fire from the Easter Candle.

A poignant moment in the service when each of the families called out the name of the baby or babies they had lost.

In November we have remembered those who have died. Now we also think of those who have lost a relative as the holidays arrive.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month

October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. The Elizabeth Ministry will host a prayer service (led by Father Damian) on Monday, October 14 at 7:00 p.m.

We will remember babies lost through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death and offer support to those who have suffered the loss of a child.

This service is open to everyone, not just parishioners, not just Catholics, not just residents of Sarpy County. For more information, call Bridget Huggins at 402-541-3090 or email (bridget.em@cox.net).
