Frances Fay was a beloved member of St. Clement's parish in Saratoga Springs, NY and a well known Creighton model Fertility Education Instructor in the Albany, NY diocese. She worked with numerous couples to assist them in their desire to follow the Catholic Church's teaching around fertility awareness. We are forever grateful to God for the beauty that Fran brought to each of those she encountered as she sought to live out her dedication to Christ and to a culture of life and love. It is with great respect that we have established a fund to help individuals who may want to become fertility education instructors or individuals and couples who may need assistance with fertility education.

During this time of Christmas where there is supposed to be great joy, there can be grief for those who have suffered a loss of a child. We want to acknowledge the preciousness of each of these children in the Lord's eyes and acknowledge the loss that you may be feeling at this time. As a way of remembering each child, we have a link to a Garden of Remembrance - A Mom's Peace where you can remember your child by planting a virtual flower in Mary's Garden. The flower can be chosen with special meaning and entrusted to Our Lord's tender heart. We hope that this may bring parents some comfort and peace at Christmas.
