At the Church of The Holy Innocents, in midtown Manhattan, a shrine is dedicated to the memory of children who have died unborn. They invite you to name your child(ren) and to have your baby's name inscribed in their "BOOK OF LIFE" that rests between the statues of the Holy Family. Here, a candle is always lit in their memory and people stop to pray all day long. On the first Monday of every month, the 12:15 pm Mass is celebrated in honor of these children and for the comfort of their families. When you submit your baby’s name online, you can also request a Certificate of Life to be sent to you via email with your baby’s name.
