My Beautiful One
If you or someone you know has received a prenatal diagnosis, you are not alone.
Our ministry of accompaniment supports parents carrying to term following a prenatal diagnosis, from diagnosis through pregnancy, birth, and whatever lies ahead, for up to one year. We believe that every baby is a gift – a beautiful one – whose life matters, and who possesses inherent value and dignity.
We will accompany you on this journey in a way that best suits you and your family. Our Parent Care Coordinators have received extensive training to serve parents in this area and can offer help with:
- spiritual support
- understanding decision points along the way
- writing birth plans
- writing newborn care plans
- memory making
- funeral planning if necessary, and grief support
Our support for babies and parents is rooted in the Catholic Church’s teaching about the beauty and sanctity of life, from conception to natural death, no matter how frail or brief a life may be.
