LOCAL NEWS I 5 DENVER CATHOLIC REGISTER I SEPTEMBER 25, 2013 Parish offers service for children lost to abortion PHOTO PROVIDED COURTESY NEIL CHEN FATHER Marcus Mallick, pastor of Sacred Heart of Mary Parish in Boulder, led a memorial service for aborted children Sept. 14 at the parish cemetery. Some 40 people gathered around the parish's Memorial Wall for the Unborn to sing hymns, to pray for those affected by abortion and to reflect on Scripture. The ecumenical service coincided with the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children. Prayer vigils were held at gravesites for the unborn at 42 sites across 22 states. Father Mallick spoke to the crowd in Boulder about the importance of prayer, forgiveness and healing for those impacted by abortion. He said true healing is found in the sacrament of reconciliation. The memorial wall was dedicated in 2000 after a Boulder abortion clinic contacted a mortuary about cremating and burying aborted babies. About 5,500 unborn babies have since been buried near the Memorial Wall.
