“Project Rachel is a diocesan-based network of specially trained priests, religious, counselors, and laypersons who provide a team response of care for those suffering in the aftermath of abortion. In addition to referring for Sacramental Reconciliation, the ministry provides an integrated network of services, including pastoral counseling, support groups, retreats and referrals to licensed mental health professionals.”-USCCB

Rachel's Vineyard

Rachel's Vineyard is a safe place to renew, rebuild and redeem hearts broken by abortion. Weekend retreats offer you a supportive, confidential and non-judgmental environment where women and men can express, release and reconcile painful post-abortive emotions to begin the process of restoration, renewal and healing.
www.rachelsvineyard.org/

Entering Canaan

The Entering Canaan Ministry is a multifaceted program consisting of retreat days, weekend retreats, monthly gathering groups and special retreats. Like the journey of the Israelites to the Promised Land, Entering Canaan accompanies those who are wounded from the pain of abortion to the mercy, forgiveness and love of God, and addresses the spiritual, psychological and emotional aspects of abortion.
