A Mass in thanksgiving to God for the graces received to PerpetuaLife Care Ministry (PLC) is planned to be held on Saturday, January 4, 2020 at 4 p.m. at the Church of the Holy Trinity, 122 Vliet Blvd, Cohoes, NY. PLC is so thankful to God for the many partners in ministry who help with prayer and material support. In the last year the ministry has expanded to include Embrace Hope Infertility Support Group, Evenings of Reflection for Couples and ROOTED:K-12 Theology of the Body Curriculum outreach. In 2020, there is a 25th Anniversary Celebration for Evangelium vitae planned on March 21. The Mass on January 4, 2020 is a way to express the deep gratitude to God for everything that he is doing in this ministry. To God be the Glory.

Please feel free to join us on December 12 at 6:45 pm, after the 6 pm Mass at Corpus Christi Church in Round Lake, NY for the next Embrace Hope - Infertility Support Group Session. During this season, infertility can be especially challenging. Well-meaning friends and family may say or do all the wrong things in their attempts to love that press into the wound of infertility. Come and join us for support and learn ways to cope with those dreaded questions in way that is full of grace. Newcomers are welcome. This group hopes to be a support for women enduring infertility embracing true hope and recognizing the love that God has for them through sacramental and personal relationship with Christ and one another.
