Hi, guys —
Someone asked me this question today:
- What happens if a baby dies before birth and Baptism?
- What happens to that baby?
Thanks,
Doug

Dear Doug —
The baby goes into the Hands of the
All-Merciful and Compassionate God,
in whose House there are many dwelling
places.
Pope St. John Paul II said the baby lives with God.

Mary Ann,
Thank you for your answer.
I have another question:
- What happens to a baby who is
born and dies before Baptism?
- Does the same apply?

Hi, Doug —
Yes, the same applies.
In both cases, the Church has a special
funeral rite for the child.
