St. Edward Parish at 216 S, Nichols St., Lowell, IN 46356 US - Rachel's Vineyard

Jesus came so sinners who longed to be forgiven could experience total forgiveness.

He came so all could find true joy, peace, and love and allow God to restore them to wholeness and happiness.

One ministry connected with the pro-life movement is called Rachel’s Vineyard. It offers retreats to women and men who struggle with the emotional or spiritual pain of an abortion.

Some make the retreat soon after an abortion; others are senior citizens who had an abortion over fifty years ago.

Rachel’s vineyard retreats are an opportunity to experience the mercy and compassion of God and release feelings of anger, shame, guilt, and grief.  They offer exercises to help you grieve for your unborn child and receive God’s forgiveness.

These retreats are held throughout the year in many states.
