Naming & Commendation: Find Comfort, Healing & Hope

St. Francis Borgia Church
1:00 pm"I am the Resurrection and the life." - John 11:25
All are welcome to attend Naming & Commendation, a prayer service developed by the Archdiocese of St. Louis to meet the needs of families whose child died before birth for any reason (including miscarriage, accident, abortion or still birth). Parents and families of any religious background are invited to attend, whether the loss was recent or long ago. Naming & Commendation will begin at 1:00 PM at St. Francis Borgia Parish in Washington, Missouri on Sunday, January 22, 2023.
The rite, celebrated by Father Michael Boehm, will offer parents and families and opportunity to name the child, bring peaceful closure to great loss, and unite with our merciful God. To RSVP or for more information, please contact Jane Maune at [email protected] or 636-432-6781.
In October 2022, the St. Louis Review did a feature on this very powerful healing service for preborn loss. Click here to read the full story.
