Order of Naming and Commendation Book
The loss of a child before birth causes parents profound grief. The Rite of Naming and Commendation emphasizes the Church’s respect for human life from the moment of conception. It also allows the family to acknowledge the reality of that brief but cherished life, identify the child by name and commend him or her in faith to the loving mercy of God. Parents whose child died before birth for any reason including miscarriage, stillbirth, illness, or accident can find healing through participation in this rite.
Disclaimer: Red Bird Ministries is dedicated to providing families with compassionate care and support, honoring the dignity of their children and uplifting life in all circumstances.
As a precautionary measure, each leader using RBM's pastoral aids should obtain approval from your diocese's Office of Worship for its usage in your diocese.
