Retreats: Our helpline assistance has remained available throughout the pandemic, and now, thankfully, healing retreats are available again VIRTUALLY. Rachel's Vineyard healing retreats have been carefully restructured into an online format. The upmost care has been taken to ensure these retreats can continue to offer a safe and confidential place to renew, rebuild and redeem hearts broken by abortion.

About us: Rachel's Vineyard offers help healing after abortion by offering mental, spiritual, and physical health care, moral and emotional support, and retreats. Rachel’s Vineyard is a ministry of Priests for Life, currently in 49 states and in over 70 countries around the world.

The name "Rachel" refers to an old testament figure who was written about in the book of Jeremiah.

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, says the Lord.
There is hope for your future!

Married couples, mothers, fathers, grandparents and siblings of aborted children, as well as persons who have been involved in the abortion industry have come to Rachel's Vineyard in search of peace and inner healing. 

There she will sing with joy
as in days long ago in her youth,
after I had freed her from captivity. 

Then you will lie down in peace and safety, unafraid;
And I will bind you to me forever
with chains of righteousness and justice, love and mercy.

I will betroth you to me in faithfulness and love,
and you will really know me then as you never have before.

--Hosea 2:21-22

“Jesus Himself said that He came to call sinners and not the self-righteous. I pray that all who particpate in Rachel’s Vineyard with the longing to be free and to be healed by Jesus, may find Him, the source of all true joy, peace and love, and allow God to restore them to wholeness and happiness. I am praying much for you.”

- Saint Theresa of Calcutta
