Arms of Hope

This is a ministry for families that have experienced a miscarriage. Through this ministry, families are provided with a listening ear, information, and guidance to ensure that their babies are not forgotten. The “Memorial Garden” located in St. Vincent de Paul Cemetery provides a special setting for your baby to be remembered.

Nothing can prepare parents, family, and friends for a baby dying prior to birth. During this difficult time, we encourage you to contact our pastoral staff. We are able to assist families as they journey through the many emotions that they will face. For families that have experienced miscarriages in the past, we encourage you to honor the memory of your baby by inscribing the child's name on the monument. Learn more about the ministry by picking up a brochure in the kiosk in the Gathering Area.
