Abortion AfterCare-Healing / The Rachel Ministries of the Catholic Pro-Life Committee, Respect Life Ministry of the Diocese of Dallas, is sponsoring a regional 2-day conference featuring national experts to provide training for clergy, health professionals and other interested persons in post-abortion healing on

Friday, November 9 ~ Ordained Clergy Only 

Saturday, November 10 ~
Health Professionals & Lay Persons

Why this conference at this time?  With one in three women having had an abortion by the age of 45, many of whom report psychological trauma as a result, there is an increasing need for a comprehensive ministry response.  We must increase our efforts to not only help more women avoid this devastating decision, but to minister to those who are suffering from it. The grief and trauma experienced after abortion need acknowledgment, time, compassion, and education for healing to be possible. This conference will provide the tools to facilitate this healing for individuals, couples and families.

We are bringing in the top experts in the field of post-abortion therapy and ministry, recommended by the USCCB.  Please take advantage of this invaluable opportunity.
