Retreat Details
Every day, men sit quietly in our pews carrying a burden few people know they bear. Some encouraged an abortion. Some paid for it. Some remained silent. Others fought desperately to save their child and failed. Many have never spoken openly about the experience to anyone.
We recognize the hidden impact abortion has on men. Project Joseph was created to meet that need.
Project Joseph is a confidential, Catholic healing ministry designed specifically for men who have lost children to abortion. Through prayer, reflection, sacramental grace, peer support, and compassionate accompaniment, men are invited to confront their loss, encounter God's mercy, and begin a journey toward healing.
