Project Rachel
This ministry is a Diocesan-based network of trained priests, religious, counselors, and laypersons who provide a team response of care for those suffering in the aftermath of abortion. In addition to referring for Sacramental Reconciliation, the ministry provides an integrated network of services, including pastoral counseling, support groups, retreats and referrals to licensed mental health professionals. Through Project Rachel and Rachel’s Vineyard, women and men can overcome their grief and despair, find healing for their deep spiritual wounds, and live again in the sure hope of God’s forgiveness and of reunion one day with their child.
For information, call (904) 923-9203, email [email protected], or visit www.hopeafterabortion.org.

Since its’ inception in 1999, Divine Mercy House has served over 75 women, averaging around six to ten per year. The staff of Divine Mercy House recognize that each woman who enters the house is unique, and each situation is different. We work hard to meet each individual need and tailor the program to fit each woman; therefore there is no hard and fast rule on length of stay. On average the women who complete the Divine Mercy House Program stay six to eight months after their babies are born, which ensures they will be well ready to care for themselves upon departure from the house.
