Annual Footprints Mass

You are invited to the diocesan wide Annual Footprints Mass. The Mass will be held on Sunday, October 19, 2025, at 9:30am at St. John the Beloved Church in Wilmington, DE. A special invitation is extended to parents, grandparents, and siblings who grieve the death of a child as a result of miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion or early infant death. The loss may be recent or many years ago. As a Catholic community, all are welcomed to join us in prayerful support at this special healing Mass at St. John the Beloved. It is a time when we come together to remember those who died too soon. Sponsored by the Offices for Marriage and Family Life and Respect Life of the Diocese of Wilmington.
