Blessing of the Child in the Womb

Many mothers and fathers find comfort and strength in having their child blessed even before he or she enters the world. It is a great affirmation of life and love for the unborn child, to be welcomed into the church and the family. Currently, the blessing is offered by our pastor twice a year, usually in May and October, which is Respect Life Month.

Our next blessing will be October 24th at the 10:30am and 12:30pm (Spanish) Masses.

Our Lady of Hope

Are you pregnant or trying to conceive? Do you know someone struggling with fertility? Do you want to become more devoted to Our Blessed Mother?  Are you seeking a special grace to help with life’s latest challenge?  Are you looking for a way to thank Our Lady for blessings already received?

If you answered “Yes” to any of the above questions, then please consider inviting Our Blessed Mother to come stay at your home for a week. 

The statue of Mary of Hope is of Our Blessed Mother pregnant with Our Savior, Jesus Christ. Praying to Our Lady of Hope during pregnancy, when trying to conceive, or for the intention of a loved one, can be a source or wonderful peace and grace. Our ministry will bring the statue to your home (or it can be picked up) along with prayers including the St. Gerard Novena. 

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit, please call Anne Allen at 919-845-7829 or anneallen@bellsouth.net.

Spiritual Adoption and Birth Celebration

Spiritual Adoption is a free program designed to pray for babies who are in danger of being aborted. Each January we ask you to spiritually adopt a baby, name him or her, and pray for the baby and parents for 9 months that they may chose life.  

To celebrate the end of our program, we're hosting a baby shower after all Masses on October 10 to support mothers supported by Birth Choice and Catholic Parish Outreach. We will be collecting newborn clothes, diapers, wipes, and baby blankets. 

Praying for the Unborn

Join us year round in peacefully praying for the unborn, their parents and abortion workers outside of A Woman's Choice at 3305 Drake Circle, Raleigh. Members of our committee are out there on a regular basis, but dates/times vary by month. Please contact us for more information or if you desire to set up a time to go together. 

40 Days for Life is an internationally coordinated 40 day campaign that aims to end abortion through prayer and fasting, community outreach and a peaceful all day vigil that we participate in every Fall. From Sept 22 - Oct 31st,  everyone is encouraged to sign up for time slots from 7am-7pm in front of A Woman's Choice and be present as a witness to support life.  Please contact us for more information or visit https://www.40daysforlife.com/local-campaigns/raleigh

Miscarriage Support Resources

If you've lost a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth or in early childhood, you may feel a very deep loss which few others seem to understand. We pray for you and offer the resources to help you through this tough time.
