WHAT IS SPIRITUAL ADOPTION ?
It is praying for babies in danger of abortion.
It is praying for their parents.
It is education about the development of the
pre-born child.
It is a ‘baby shower’ at the end of 9 months for
mothers in need.
How does it work?
Participants spiritually adopt an unborn baby to pray for daily for 9 months. At the end of 9 months, we will have a baby shower and give donated items to help moms in need. On the weekend of Oct 1/2, you are invited to fill out a card and name the baby for whom you will be praying. There will be a display in the hallway to the left of the sanctuary (across from bathrooms) with these cards and information about the baby's development during the following 9 months. There will also be puzzle pieces in the bulletin each week for children.
We will need volunteers on Oct 1/2 after Masses to help participants fill out their spiritual adoption cards.
Please Spiritually Adopt and Pray for an Unborn Baby.
Hike for Life - McKinney
Hike for Life is a pro-life walk held once a year in various locations around Texas that raises money for area Crisis Pregnancy Centers and raises awareness of the dignity of all human life, from conception to natural death. The funds raised by Hike for Life are distributed to Crisis Pregnancy Centers and Pro-Life ministries in the area where the Hike is held. The Hike for Life is sponsored by the Knights of Columbus.

Life Chain
LIFE CHAIN is a peaceful, prayerful public witness of pro-life Americans standing in many cities across our nation. We stand in remembrance of 62 million lives lost to abortion, praying for our nation, for people in crisis situations and for an end to abortion. It is a visual statement of solidarity by the Christian community that abortion kills children, hurts women and men, and that the Church supports the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception to natural death.
