Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness
Nearly 25% of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage. One great support in Maryland is the Holy Innocents Ministry of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, which offers pastoral care, spiritual and emotional support, and burial services for families who have lost a child to miscarriage. Keep this information handy if a family member or friend experiences a miscarriage. Learn more about how this program helps families experiencing loss by clicking here, and please hold these families in prayer.

Holy Innocents will host a Vespers Service for families who have ever experienced miscarriage, pregnancy loss, or any loss of children on Sunday, November 1 from 4:00 — 6:00 PM at Our Lady of Victory Church (4414 Wilkens Ave. in Arbutus). There will be prayer, reflection, remembrance of the lives of these children, and fellowship (with social distancing). These little lives touch our hearts deeply, no matter how brief their time on earth. All are welcome to attend. For more information, please contact Holy Innocent Ministry at 410-547-3142 or holyinnocents@archbalt.org or Fr. Patrick Carrion (Office of Cemetery Management, 410-547-5375 or pcarrion@archbalt.org).
