Church of the Holy Innocents
I am not sure if anyone has been here but wanted to post the link for The Church of the Holy Innocents. It is in Manhattan on 37th between Broadway and Seventh Ave.
It has a Shrine for the Unborn and you can enter your unborn child's name into the Book of Life. Here is the information from the website:
The Shrine is dedicated in Memory of the Children Who Have Died Unborn.
Often children who have died before birth have no grave or headstone, and sometimes not even a name. At The Church of The Holy Innocents, we invite you to name your child(ren) and to have the opportunity to have your baby's name inscribed in our "BOOK OF LIFE".
Here, a candle is always lit in their memory. All day long people stop to pray. On the first Monday of every month, our 12:15pm Mass is celebrated in honor of these children and for the comfort of their families.

Re: Church of the Holy Innocents
Thank you so much for this. DH has asked me several times if there's anything we, as Catholics, can or should do.
I work a few blocks from there.

I haven't been there yet, but I work in midtown (on the east side) and plan on going. I would really like to go to their mass where they remember the families.
