Re: Spiritual Adoption Program

We are very excited about introducing this new, teacher friendly, simple program to all the elementary children of our diocesan schools. This program has been successfully piloted in some of our schools in recent years and has proven to be very educational, informative, and meaningful to young children.

The purpose of this program is twofold:

1. To help inform and educate children at an early age about the dignity and sacredness of all human life from conception to natural death.

2. To save the life of an unborn baby and ask God to give the parents the courage and grace they need to bring their baby into the world.

Enclosed for your convenience, professional consideration, and enjoyment is:

• Overview of the Spiritual Adoption Program
• The first nine months…watch me grow! Educational poster series
• Suggested ideas for the use of the Little One Sweet Posters
• Sample age-appropriate prayer cards for each child
• Sample precious little hands pin
• Suggested Sample for Announcements
• Suggested prayers for each child - prayer could be said daily as a class
• "Thank You" notes for each child for 9 months
• "Thank You" notes for posting each month

Thank you for helping your children grow in awareness and appreciation for all life that God has so lovingly created. Please do not hesitate to call ___________________at __________________________ with questions or for further assistance.
