Spiritual Adoption of Unborn Babies in Danger of Abortion

04-08-2026Pastor's LetterFr. Bruce Fogle

What is Spiritual Adoption?

It is an opportunity to pledge a daily prayer for nine months for a baby who is in danger of abortion. This special prayer is found on the Spiritual Adoption Prayer cards. For the parents of the baby, please pray a daily Hail Mary. Pray that God in His great mercy will grant the parents the courage to once more imitate the lives of Mary and Joseph. THIS SPIRITUAL ADOPTION begins now, near Apr 18-19, 2026.

It is an opportunity to educate others about the development of the pre-born baby. You also are encouraged look at the posters that will be in the Narthex once a month so that all can watch the progress of their baby’s development.

At the end of nine months we will host a baby shower on Sunday, January 3, 2027, (the Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord) after the Sunday Masses.  The baby shower is a visible means of imitating the Magi by providing assistance in the form of a donated baby item.  These baby items will be given to our local Pregnancy Help Center, HOPE UNLIMITED.

1. Think and pray about the name you want to give your Spiritually Adopted Baby.  
2. Fill out the PLEDGE CARD by Fri, Apr 19, you will find on the table in the church entrance  
3. You KEEP the left side of the Pledge Card (the side with the little feet) for your prayer for 9 Months for your baby’s protection.
4. Place the right side in the basket provided, in the collection basket or drop by the office by Fri, Apr 19.
5. Epiphany, January 3, 2027, is our baby's due date.
