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.
