A couple from my home parish have just been told that their 22-week pregnancy is already entering pre-labor. The little boy has to make it to 24 weeks to even have a chance at living. The doctors are somewhat pressuring them to terminate the pregnancy (which they won't do, but the pressure adds to the stress). I don't want to release their names online since they've not told me I can; but please keep them in your prayers - God knows for whom those prayers are said.

My thoughts and prayers are with them. A baby in my parish was born 3 months early and she is doing great. She was in the neonatal unit for the three months til her due date, which is what they tend to do these days. She is the most precious child. I think that she was very fortunate to have St. Katherine as her patron saint.
