Members of our parish family have an opportunity again this year to "spiritually" adopt a child who is newly-conceived in the month of April.  You see, not all newly-conceived babies are allowed to be born.  In fact, almost 4,000 babies lost their lives to abortion each day.  It is these babies, who are in danger of having their lives ended before birth, that you are being asked to "adopt". 

Prayer commitment cards willbe available after all Masses the weekend of April 11/12.  You can "adopt" a child individually or as a family.  You will be asked to name the child for whom you will be praying, thereby giving the child the humanity he or she deserves.  Just say a short prayer each day for nine months, for your unborn child and for all the unborn children.

You will receive monthly reports describing your baby's develpment, and your child will be born in January, 2016.  At that time we will have a baby shower and all Sacred Heart of Jesus parishioners will be invited to bring gifts which will be donated to local Pregnancy Centers.
