This information was passed on to me by a parishioner of St. Gregory the Great. The MISSing Angels Act is an initiative that would help recognize the dignity of the human person in the earliest stages of life. We could help this bill out by emailing Assemblywoman Loretta Weinberg to let her know that there are many people here in the state of New Jersey who support Bill A2335 - MISSing Angels Act. This bill will recognize Stillborn babies by issuing a Certificate of Birth resulting in Stillbirth instead of the usual "Fetal Death Certificate". This bill would give validation to the thousands of mothers who don't get to take their precious baby home with them.

The addresses for Ms. Weinberg, Assemblyman Thomas Kean, Jr. and Assemblyman Asselta (the gentlemen who introduced this Bill) are as follows:

AswWeinberg@njleg.org
AsmKean@njleg.org
AsmAsselta@njleg.org

Thanks in advance for your active support of this bill.

In a related effort, please help us to spread the word about a special liturgy we will be celebrating here at St. Greg's on Friday, November 15 at 7:30 for the Healing of Pregnancy and Infant Loss. Everyone is invited to attend to prayerfully support the dignity of human life.

Thanks for all you do!

God Bless,
Lori
