We can match you with a peer companion who can offer emotional and spiritual support during your pregnancy. All calls are confidential. All services are free.
Also offered: Pre-natal care assistance, financial assistance, and referrals to parish ministries, Catholic Charities and other organizations.
The Bishop’s Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities encourages the adoption of a parish-based ministry for pregnant women and their children.
The national Gabriel Project outreach began when a priest placed a sign in front of a Catholic Church offering parish assistance to any pregnant woman in need. The Arlington diocesan Gabriel Project offers a confidential pregnancy helpline, Gabriel “Angel” companions for follow-up support in your area, and so much more for “nothing is impossible for God.” ~ Luke 1:30
If you’re interested in learning more, or becoming a ministry volunteer at your parish, please contact Sarah LaPierre, Director at [email protected].
