Project Rachel is the name of the Catholic Church's healing ministry to
those who have been involved in abortion.
Its name comes from Scripture:
In Ramah is heard the sound of moaning, of bitter weeping!
Rachel mourns her children, she refuses to be consoled because her children are no more.
Thus says the LORD:
Cease your cries of mourning, wipe the tears from your eyes. The sorrow you have shown shall have its reward...
There is hope for your future.
Jeremiah 31:15-1
Project Rachel operates as a network of professional counselors and priests, all trained to provide one-on-one spiritual and psychological care for those who are suffering because of an abortion. Although most dioceses use the name Project Rachel, some programs are named differently. In addition to individualized counseling, some programs include support groups and retreats. Founded in 1984 by Victoria Thorn in Milwaukee, today Project Rachel programs can be found in 140 Catholic dioceses in the United States, as well as in dioceses in other countries.
