We can listen. The greatest comfort at a time like this is knowing you’re not alone.

We have been through miscarriage ourselves. Whether it’s answering questions, sharing our own experiences, or just crying with you, St. Catherine Ministry offers compassionate support for grieving families.

Do you need a miscarriage kit to help you know what to expect and to be able to recover your baby?

We can provide a free kit, which includes FAQs, through pick up at Our Lady of Hope Clinic or by coordinating directly with St. Catherine Ministry.

What about burying baby in a dignified place?

St. Catherine Ministry can coordinate with the Miracle of Life Rosary Garden (St. Mary – Pine Bluff) or a local diocesan cemetery for a burial space and provide a free burial vessel, especially if there isn’t cemetery space available at your church. We can also provide a list of other burial spaces and memorials near and far.

Laura lives in Madison, WI, with her husband, Steve, and their 5 living children. She lost babies to miscarriage in 2010 and 2011. Since then, she has offered support to friends and family members going through miscarriage. St. Catherine Ministry was created to spread the mission of accompanying families going through this type of loss.

While we would like to connect with you directly to offer support, perhaps just having a little bit more information about miscarriage can help right now. Read on for our Miscarriage Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). With miscarriage, there is a sudden shift from the joy of expecting a child to the sorrow of preparing for and recovering from miscarriage. Knowing about the miscarriage experience makes it less bewildering.

These FAQs may be the tip of the iceberg for you, and you might just want more information on the miscarriage experience. At St. Catherine Ministry, we’re here for you!
