About Our Spiritual Adoption Program

Adoption date: October 29, 2023
We've begun our Spiritual Aoption for the next nine months.

Flocknote email updates every 15th of the month, updates
to this homepage and bulletin announcements.  

If you would like to join us, please contact Christina Armellino, christina@stleothegreat.com

Please see the document below for specific information and inspiration for a prayerful spiritual adoption. 
You may want to print out the prayers and display them in a prominent space in your home along with your Prayer Square!

Development of your

spiritually adopted baby...

LIFE HAS BEGUN!! Thanks be to God!

Gender, ethnicity, hair color, eye color, and other traits are determined
during fertilization. 
Week 1: He/she implants in the lining of the mother’s uterus, where he/she will
live for the next 9 months.
 

By week three, my little heart is beating!
My brain and gastrointestinal tract have begun to form, and the cells for my nerves, blood, and kidney have appeared.  
Here I am, I'm four weeks old!
I am as big as a poppy seed. The buds of my arms and legs are visibly forming, and the right and left hemispheres of my brain are beginning to take shape.
