However there will be one change, and that is the price.

Pro-Life Ministry Archdiocesan Mass of Remembrance The Mass of Remembrance is a time for reflection on the lives of our children who have died from any cause. The causes are numerous but resulting emotions of pain, longing, and sorrow are the same. Perhaps one of the most misunderstood and often overlooked losses is of miscarriage. Too frequently it is seen as less than other deaths of children, but for those who have experienced a miscarriage, it is no less painful. Parents wish these children to be remembered and the Mass of Remembrance provides this opportunity. Please join us in praying for children who have died by miscarriage, abortion, illness, or any cause, and for their families. The Mass will be held at St. Thomas the Apostle Church, 872 Farmington Ave., West Hartford, Ct., Tuesday, April 24, 2018 at 5:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served following the Mass. If you have any questions please contact Sister Suzanne Gross, F.S.E., Program Coordinator for Pro-Life Ministry at or by sistersuzanne@prolifeministry.org.
