Miscarriage grief is real. Zelie’s Hope offers Catholic healing, a memorial Mass, and community for families in Bryan–College Station—and a model you can bring to your parish.
Host Pam Marvin speaks with Dorothy Pepper and Jonathan Bertagne about this deanery-wide ministry that walks with parents after miscarriage or stillbirth. Hear how the team provides two concrete paths of care: monthly grief-support gatherings where couples can speak freely, and the Precious Life Memorial Mass with a naming rite, candles, and inscription in the parish Book of the Dead. They outline three aims—immediate care, a formal commending of each child to the Lord, and a wider cultural change that honors life and accompanies grieving families, no matter how long ago the loss.
