Segment 1

Project Rachel healing retreat Oct. 4th
“Project Rachel is a ministry based on scripture, through which you can experience the love, mercy, and forgiveness of our Lord Jesus Christ. When you have had an abortion experience, you need a time to grieve your loss and reflect on your feelings of regret and sorrow. Project Rachel is here to help you do that through a nine-week support group in a supportive and confidential environment.” Mary is here to discuss all of this and invite women who need healing to the upcoming retreat.

Mary Lockwood is a pro-life activist and speaker. She is a team member of Project Rachel and Entering Canaan, both of which are ministries to help those who have experienced an abortion. Mary speaks openly about her past with the hope of helping other men and women who have walked the same path. She is a parishioner of Our Lady of Good Counsel in Plymouth.

A one-day retreat, “Entering Canaan: A Day of Prayer and Healing for Women,” will take place Saturday, Oct. 4, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in a confidential location. The day will include personal testimony, video reflection, lunch, Eucharistic adoration, reconciliation and Mass. To inquire about the retreat or to register, contact Project Rachel at 1-888-722-4355 or projectrachel@aod.org.
