Angel blankets are small keepsakes for families who have lost a baby, an adult child or who may be experiencing a difficult pregnancy.

The loss may be caused by miscarriage, stillbirth, or early demise, no matter how long ago the loss occurred. Losing an adult child is very painful as well.

These angel blankets are meant to help bring comfort to all who have suffered the loss of a child or who are struggling to keep a pregnancy. There is no cost for your family. They are made with love for those in need.

Life Chain

2:00 pm

Corner of Roswell Road and Johnson Ferry

Life chain is a peaceful silent pro-life witness taking place across North America on the first Sunday of October, Respect Life Month.

Participants pray for an end to abortion and those whose lives have been affected by abortion. 

This public witness has stood the test of time, changed heart and possibly saved lives.



As Catholics, it is our responsibility to stand up for the sanctity of human life and support those affected by abortion.
