St. Joseph Adoption Novena
March 10-18

Invoking the intercession of St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, we pray for all whose life stories include adoption. Each day includes short Scriptural passages and prayers and focuses on a different group of people who are involved in the adoption process.

The Novena is designed to conclude the day before St. Joseph's Feast Day on March 19.

Participants can download the novena or sign up to receive the daily prayers via email or text message. To have the novena prayers sent to your inbox each day, subscribe at: respectlife.org/adoption-novena.

❤️Monthly Support Group for Birth Moms ❤️

There is a gathering each second Tuesday of the month at 6:30 pm at the Spiritual Life Center for any birth mom who wishes to attend, at no cost. The purpose and hope of these groups is for birth mothers to be able to connect with one another and receive support regarding their individual adoption experience. At each of our support groups you can expect to find a safe, kind, and supportive environment in which we hope you feel comfortable sharing your experiences as well as creating long lasting friendships with women who have shared in a similar experience. The next group session is September 13 at the Spiritual Life Center. For more information contact Bonnie Toombs at 269-3935 or [email protected].
