HEALING THE ABORTION WOUNDED – Project Rachel Significant growth can result from working through the pain of abortion together as a couple. For example, the spouse that was not involved in their husband’s or wife’s past abortion may choose to “spiritually adopt” their spouse’s aborted child. This spiritual adoption can assist in the healing process and be a beautiful way to unite the couple as the family God intends them to be.

Raphael’s Way 10 Hour Healing Retreat will be held on Oct. 5 & 6 in the Palm Harbor area and Rachel’s Vineyard Weekend Retreat will be Oct. 12-14 in Lutz.

For more information and registration: Email [email protected] or call 813-924-4173. Project Rachel is affiliated with Rachel's Vineyard - www.rachelsvineyard.org Healing After Abortion.

St. Vincent de Paul Society

In today’s Gospel we hear how Jesus “makes the deaf hear and the mute speak!” In living the gospel, we must open our ears to hear and recognize all the everyday opportunities for making God’s presence known especially to those who are poor and suffering. Today, the Church also celebrates the feast of Blessed Frederic Ozanam, the founder of the Society of St Vincent de Paul. Frederic heard the call of Jesus to love and serve those who are suffering.

Is there a family you know who needs assistance? Please call us at 727 862-8580 so that together we can “make God’s presence known” to those who are suffering and poor.

Thank you for your generosity.
