What is Spiritual Adoption?
From CPCL: "The Spiritual Adoption Program is a parish-wide prayer opportunity that brings individuals and families of all ages together to pray for the unborn and their mothers. Not all babies make it to birth. Many parents tragically experience the loss of a child to miscarriage, abortion, or premature birth. These are the babies the parishioners are being asked to “adopt” simply by praying for them each day. It is suggested that the parishioner name the child for whom they will be praying. This will remind them that although they may never meet the child in this life, they truly are praying for a specific child who needs their prayers. A child and family that God will direct the prayers towards, and one that they may well meet in the next life."
We need volunteers on Oct 1 & 2 after Masses to help
participants fill out their spiritual adoption cards.
Any questions contact Martha Doose - marthadoose@yahoo.com
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.
