Saint Vincent’s Respect Life Safe Cradle for newborns

if you are expecting a baby or if you have recently given birth and don't know what to do with the baby please read the following:

We beg you! Please let us know so we can help you. If you have already given birth to your child and in a moment of desperation and confusion you left the baby unattended somewhere please let us know the place where you have left the baby and we will go there to pick up the baby and take him/her to the Hospital. Please don’t let your beautiful baby suffer in the cold. This baby is innocent and wants to survive. We promise you there will be no questions asked and the law protects your confidentiality and the baby's identity. You don’t even have to give us your name but please for the baby’s sake tell us where you left it. Thank you! GOD LOVES YOU!...and your baby will thank you later on in life.

Suggested ways to contact us:
You can call the rectory (201) 436-2222 and ask for one of the Priests
You can call Felix Rivera at (201) seven three six-5459 for help in Spanish
You can drop a note in the collection box during Mass or at the rectory door
You can contact us thru this website, or
You can let us know in whatever way you think is more confidential
REMEMBER - the law protects your confidentiality - NO ONE has to know who you are - just let us know where you left the newborn baby!

Your baby will be picked up and taken to the nearest Hospital in the strictest of confidence. No questions asked. You do not have to give us your name or any information that you do not wish to give out. The Law protects your confidentiality and the baby's identity. The important thing to do is to save the baby's life. DO NOT DISPOSE OF YOUR BABY AS GARBAGE.

All you have to do is contact us. Our promise to you is:
1. that we will drop what ever we are doing and we will rush to pick up the baby,
2. that we will take the baby to the nearest licensed general hospital, where the baby will receive necessary treatment; and the child will then be placed with the Division of Youth and Family Services.

Please give the baby a second chance to live.

Remember, you can not be prosecuted for abandonment of the child when you, the parent, voluntarily arrange for another person to deliver the child to the emergency room of a hospital in NJ "when the child is or appears to be no more than 30 days old and you do not express an intent to return for the child", and you make the decision of turning the infant over under the "NJ Safe Haven Infant Protection Act".

As a matter of fact this is the right thing to do, instead of disposing of your child in a dumpster or an alley. You carried this baby to term, now you can safely turn the baby in for adoption instead of risking the baby's life.

The law reads in part ".......Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to create a defense to any prosecution arising from any conduct other than the act of delivering the child as described herein, and this subsection specifically shall not constitute a defense to any prosecution arising from an act of abuse or neglect committed prior to the delivery of the child to.......or the emergency department of a licensed general hospital in this State......"

The Saint Vincent Respect Life SafeCradle for newborns is a public service of our parish. In light of the national crisis of newborn infants being abandoned in life-threatening situations and that some of these children have been harmed or have died as a consequence of their abandonment; and because the parents of these newborn infants may be under severe emotional stress and may need a safe haven for their baby without fear of reprisals and under strict anonymity.

Here are a few short YouTube videos that might be of interest to you before you make that difficult decision:
