Project Rachel & Project Joseph Spiritual Direction & Reconciliation

Project Rachel offers the sacramental healing found in Penance.  Though all priests are able to hear confessions, a number of priests have shared a special interest in counseling those who have experienced abortion in some way and thus have received additional training to best help those on a path toward hope and healing.  These men have received special training on the grief, sadness, and the symptoms that those experience after abortion.

If you would like to be put in contact with a priest in an area of your choosing, please call 314-792-7565 or use the online contact form.

Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Into your Sacred Heart, I give you my wounded
heart. Though it can never be as beautiful as
yours, I give it to you asking that you Make it
whole once again in union with You.

You are far greater, than the mighty ocean, than
the highest mountain, than the healing works of
our hands.

Speak, Lord a merciful and loving word
That your healing grace may pour into my heart,
Make whole again this broken heart, speak a
word of peace to calm my fearful thoughts and
trouble feelings.

Create in me a new heart and spirit, that I may always proclaim:
The Lord God Almighty, Who made ALL things, Has upheld me with His mighty Hand,
and by His word placed in me a new heart.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on me.
