Press Kit

Although statistics reveal thousands of families have experienced the loss of a child, pregnancy and infant loss is largely an untouched subject by mainstream media and even within the Catholic Church. Thousands of parishes and families have sought the expertise of Red Bird Ministries, a non-profit organization that specializes in compassionate support infused with the Catholic faith for those who have experienced child loss of any age and circumstance. During Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month as well as Respect Life Month, Red Bird Ministries invites people to consider how their response to loss shapes their outlook on the dignity and value of human life.

Let’s start a conversation

Let’s change the way we look at pregnancy loss and be the kind of Church that builds a culture of life and the way we advocate being open to life. These babies are our little saints and each of them were carried with love.

Take a minute to watch this thought-provoking video from the founder of Red Bird Ministries. It’s time we change our outlook.
