*“Every post-abortive woman sitting in our churches needs to know that there is help and forgiveness available – and it’s our hope during this Sanctity Week that pastors and other clergy will extend that to her,” Conroy said.

“Justice, mercy and compassion must be at the forefront of the conversation if we truly desire to extend healing to the women in our churches affected by abortion – both those who’ve already experienced it and those who are right now contemplating it,” Conroy explained.*

Then the Sacrament of Reconciliation can really help the Catholic Church to help these womenknow that God loves them and wants to forgive them.

We have to make sure that the sacrament is readily available, and that Pastors know the importance of providing loving and safe places for these women to enumerate and repent of their sins.

Please remember to pray for these women and for the Pastors who will need to hear their confessions.

In Christ, Michael
