Friends, the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Ministry resources for our diocese continue to expand. We are grateful to announce yet another opportunity for couples who have experienced any type of pregnancy or infant loss.
A healing retreat for couples will be held in Des Moines on Saturday, October 4 @ St. Pius X Catholic Church in Urbandale. Immaculate Hope Ministries will facilitate the retreat with the Des Moines Marriage and Family Life Office sponsoring. For more information on Immaculate Hope Ministries and to register for the retreat, head over here.Â
Please share this information as you feel called to do so. A standard size full-page printable flyer is available here for you to distribute and promote.
** Please note, for those not in our immediate area, if you feel this type of ministry is needed where you are, please check out Immaculate Hope Ministries. Nathan and RyAnne Carr, the couple who founded the ministry, have piloted the retreat in other dioceses including the Archdiocese of Chicago.
