Miscarriage, stillbirth and early pregnancy loss affect an estimated 1 in 4 pregnancies. Our current culture and society may fall short or not always have a response, but we are blessed as Catholics to have a beautiful and contiguous ethic of life that gives us not only comfort but hope.

St. Mary of Perpetual Help’s Miscarriage Ministry is here to support women and families who have experienced pregnancy loss. If you or someone you know is in need of support or assistance, please contact Christina O. Vercimak by sending an email to: jvercimak@archchicago.org.
