Behold Your Child is a ministry developed by the Archdiocese of Dubuque offices of Marriage and Family Life, Respect Life and Social Justice, and Catholic Charities to provide hope and healing for parents and families who have experienced a life-limiting prenatal diagnosis, miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death (whether recently or years ago).
Training in the ministry is available online and self-paced. Training includes reading the ministry Pastoral Guide, viewing about 1 hour and 40 minutes of video content (broken into multiple segments), and becoming familiar with other ministry materials and resources.
Those interested in being trained to implement the ministry in a parish in the Archdiocese of Dubuque must have the approval of their pastor (or his delegate). If you have questions about the ministry and/or the training, please contact Matt Selby, Director of Marriage and Family Life, at (563) 556-2580, ext. 233 or m.selby@dbqarch.org for more information.
