Requiem Mass Los Angeles

Hi All! I am trying to promote a Requiem Mass I am organizing along with our Respect Life coordinator at our parish. It is a memorial Mass for all children lost to miscarriage and stillbirth. When we lost our Cecilia over two years ago in a miscarriage we did not get to have a funeral or memorial Mass. We miscarried so early that most people thought it was no big deal but if we are truly pro-life then that means every life is precious no matter how small. So this Mass is to honor all those babies who have passed through a miscarriage or stillbirth. We wanted to do this Mass during Respect Life Month to bring more of an awareness to the pro-life community about this topic. 

We are hoping to get a big turn out to bring some healing and love to those families who have lost a baby. It helps to know that we are not alone and even though we wish no one would have to go through this we are glad when we can support one another. I have too many friends who have also lost children whether they are dealing with infertility or have many children, sadly miscarriage or stillbirth does not discriminate. We will have a small reception in the parish hall afterwards so come on out and let's honor these babies who are very much a part of the Body of Christ! 

Would you be willing to share this post on your blog to help me spread the word? Even if you are not in L.A. some of your readers may be. If you want a pdf version of the flyer please email me. Thank you!
