Miscarriage Ministry
Saint Thomas
A Q U I N A S
Miscarriage occurs in between 15-20% of all pregnancies. It is a traumatic loss the needs to be grieved, but is often overlooked by many. In addition, parents who have miscarried are often met with hurtful comments from others that can leave them feeling alone. The loss of a child, whether born or unborn leaves lingering pain and grief. The Church offers a variety of healing ministries to help parents going through the process of grief. Fr. Gregory provides ministries for couples facing the pain of miscarriage, whether the loss of the child was recently, or even, many years ago. Many couples still carry the pain of the loss after many years, and find that certain things can help to grieve and deal with the loss. We’re sorry for your loss. It’s a real loss. As soon as couples conceive, they invest their dreams in their child. As a Church, we believe that a new human being is created at conception, and therefore e we need to do something when that child is lost. It’s a real baby. Man people in our parishes have losses. Know that the church is here for you. What should you do if you’ve suffered a miscarriage? *Call the priest. The priest would be happy to pray with you, to bless you, and bless your future fertility. Know that we can also offer a funeral and burial no matter how young or small the child is.
*If you have the remains, the priest would be happy to provide a Funeral Mass or service, and a place within the local cemetery where you can bury and memorialize you child, a place where you can visit and pray.
*Many parents say that naming their child is helpful in the mourning process. Each child has a unique identity. A name allows you to remember your child in a tangible way to promote healing. It’s never too late to name your child.
*The St. Cloud Hospital also offers a prayer service and burial every May and October. Call 251-2700, ext. 54621 for more information. Keep all these couples in prayer and recognize that it’s not always easy for couples to conceive and have children.

New Evangelization Corner Upcoming prayer opportunities for women: Lenten Book Study This Lent, all women are invited to join our Women’s Group as we prayerfully read the book “Walk in Her Sandals: Experiencing Christ’s Passion through the Eyes of Women.” This book, edited by Kelly Wahlquist, will take us on a prayerful journey through the days of Holy Week, Easter, and Pentecost. Women’s Group will continue to meet at 7 p.m. on the first and third Monday’s of the month, but we will be relocating to Holdingford since it is a more central location (the exact site in Holdingford still needs to be determined). Our book study will begin on March 4th. If you are interested in joining us, please contact Kristin by February 21 to ensure you get your copy of the book.
Women’s Worship Night This Eucharistic Holy Hour will be held at St. Mary’s Church in Upsala on February 10th at 7:00 p.m. The evening will include praise and worship music as well as scripture meditations to help you grow closer to Jesus. Snacks and fellowship will follow the Holy Hour. ~Kristin Molitor

All Saints Funeral Luncheon Group
Our parishes have been trying to become united in all aspects of our community life, and Father Mastey has encouraged our funeral lunch groups to also become united. This project has been on-going for a good part 2018. Our goal is to have it com-pleted this March. At this time ALL parish-ioners are members of the funeral lunch program. If you were not a member in the past, but are a parishioner of All Saint's parish, you will now be called to serve. When you are contacted, you will be asked to work the day before or the day of the funeral, or bring baked goods or pickles. If you are unable to help in any of these ways, a $20.00 donation will be suggested.
At this time, what we need are group lead-ers to come forward. The responsibility of a leader is as follows: call workers to either work, bring food items, or monetary dona-tion; and to be in the kitchen the day of the funeral to oversee the preparation and serving of the lunch, and also the cleanup. Please note, leaders will not be responsible for purchasing groceries. As of now, leaders have come forward to have 7 groups. It would be ideal to have enough leaders to have 14 groups so each group would only have to serve about once a year. If you would be interested in only calling workers or overseeing the prepara-tion, that would be great also. We are also looking to create a sub list to call on, if needed. If you are willing to be on this list, please let us know.
If the Holy Spirit is inspiring you to step forward please answer the call. This is an opportunity right here in your own parish to perform a corporal work of mercy and to be part of community. Let us go forward with a positive attitude as if Jesus was in our group and we couldn't wait to work beside Him. Please call Judy Heitzman at 746-2361 or Joan Frie at 746-2392 to step forward and answer the call.
