ADW - Project Rachel Ministry

At Project Rachel, we embrace the wisdom of Pope John Paul II's words from "The Gospel of Life': 'The church is aware of the many factors which may have influenced the decision to have an abortion, and she does not doubt that in many cases it was a painful and even shattering choice. The wound in hearts may not yet have healed. Certainly, what happened was and remains terribly wrong. But there's no need to give in to discouragement or lose hope."

Our ministry, a compassionate offering of the Catholic Church, extends a helping hand to those who have experienced the pain of abortion. Regardless of age, religious affiliation, or connection to the abortion, Project Rachel is here to provide support. We offer a safe space where our specially trained staff stand ready to assist in overcoming grief and loss and rekindling hope.

Together, we embark on a journey of healing, redemption, and reconciliation. Just as the father of mercies offers forgiveness and peace in the sacrament of reconciliation, we are here to accompany those seeking solace and a path towards healing. Nothing is definitively lost, and we believe that forgiveness and peace are attainable, even with the child who now resides with the Lord.Thank you for considering support for Project Rachel as we strive to be a beacon of hope and healing for those affected by abortion. Your contribution aids in extending our reach and providing much-needed support for those on their journey towards healing.

Project Rachel is a post-abortion healing ministry sponsored by the Archdiocese of Washington that offers compassionate help to men and women who have experienced emotional and/or spiritual pain after abortion. Our trained staff refers callers to priests specially trained in post-abortion concerns and/or to licensed Catholic/Christian mental health professionals. We help our participants, in an affirming way, reconcile with God, child, family, and themselves. Location: one-on-one meetings and group healing events take place throughout the Archdiocese of Washington. These exact locations are confidential. Your calls and e-mails will be held with complete confidentiality. If you or a friend is hurting from an abortion(s), please contact:
