Cemetery of the Innocents

The 22nd of January marks the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court Decision that made abortion legal in the United States.  Since then, over 62 Million Lives have been lost and many of their parents' and families' lives shattered.   

At St. Therese, the Cemetery of The Innocents is erected on our front lawn as a memorial to these children.  Each cross represents One Million Children.  We mourn these children and beg God's forgiveness for a country that has allowed this to happen. As a Pro-Life Community, we pledge to help mothers and fathers grieving after an abortion, and educate others so that the value of "Life" is once again cherished as a "Gift" from our Heavenly Father.

DID YOU KNOW? 
Life Begins at the time of conception!

• At 18 Days after conception the baby's heartbeat can be heard!
• At 6 Weeks following conception the baby's brain waves can be measured!
• At 8 Weeks the baby's stomach, liver and kidneys are functioning and fingerprints have been formed.

If you are pregnant and need help, please call the Community Pregnancy Center of Lake Norman  704-664-HOPE (704-664-4673).
