MARY’S ANGELS is an outreach to those who find themselves in the bereavement process following the loss of a
baby through miscarriage or still birth. Our ministry began
with the intention to provide comfort to women who have
lost a child. Our main objective is to help women and families heal, and offer hope, comfort and encouragement
through our own personal experiences. We are not counselors or therapists, but women who have sadly endured their
own pain of losing a baby and are committed to helping
those who unfortunately have to travel the same road. Our
next Mothers Supporting Mothers meeting is April 28 at 7
PM at SEAS Nursery Building, south-side. 469-570-2594
