Project Rachel
Hope after abortion.
If you are hurting after an abortion, you are not alone. It’s normal to grieve a pregnancy loss, including loss through an abortion. It can form a hole in one’s heart, a hole so deep that sometimes it seems nothing can fill the emptiness. There is healing through God who is Love and Mercy.
Project Rachel is a post-abortion reconciliation program offered by the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend. Project Rachel ministers and counsels individuals regardless of religious affiliation.
You are loved. Your grief is seen. Your loss matters. You are invited to be made whole.
If you are hurting, know that the Catholic Church cares and understands. We are here to listen to and support you and to guide you toward healing and peace. Reach out to Project Rachel whenever you’re ready.
