For the first time, Project Rachel in St. Louis will offer a weekend retreat for women who have had an abortion experience.
The retreat, which will take place in late July, is the next step in the ministry’s effort to provide ongoing support for post-abortive individuals, said Marisol Pfaff, coordinator of spiritual activities.
Project Rachel currently offers an annual day retreat for women, which Pfaff said gives them a “secure, safe place” to share their experiences.
“But it doesn’t give them all the tools that they need,” she said.
The weekend retreat is based on “Entering Canaan: A Sacramental Journey to an Inheritance of Mercy for Those Suffering Abortion.” The ministry was developed by the Sisters of Life in New York with the assistance of Theresa Bonopartis, a post-abortive woman and licensed counselor.
