When a pregnancy is ended for reasons that are not compatible with Catholic Church teachings, this does not affect the Catholic Churches’ Corporal Work of Mercy nor the dignity of the child or parent(s). If the parent(s) desire to bury their baby, Lily’s Hope desires to be of assistance. This will be dealt with on an individual case basis. The Catholic Church celebrates and mourns all life and that same empathy is the mission of Lily’s Hope. We want to grieve alongside you.
