Healing from Abortion

Rachel’s Vineyard: A Place to Heal from Abortion

 If you or someone you love has been suffering from the emotional and spiritual pains of an abortion—no matter how much time has passed—please know that a Rachel’s Vineyard retreat weekend will help your soul transform that pain into a hope for the future. A retreat is scheduled March 8-10 at IHM Spirituality Center in Malvern. Contact Susan at 610-716-4795 or Georgeann at 484-955-4278 if interested.
