SUMMARY:Rite of Naming and Commendation
DESCRIPTION:Jointly developed by the archdiocesan Office of Sacred Worship and the RLA\, this rite is designed to meet the needs of parents whose child(ren) died prior to birth because of miscarriage\, accident\, or abortion. \nThe ritual emphasizes the Church’s respect for the sacredness of all human life from the moment of conception – regardless of a child’s age or stage of development\, acknowledging that all life\, even the lives of those who are never born\, impacts families and individuals. The prayer rite also helps bring peaceful closure after a great loss\, helping families and friends place the infant’s death in the context of faith and to unite them to the merciful love of God. \nThe next Rite of Naming and Commendation will be held at St. Margaret Mary Alacoque on October 24 at 10:00am. For more information or to RSVP\, email eol@smmaparish.org.
