INFORMATION ON GABRIEL PROJECT MINISTRIES

We work closely with the Catholic Diocese of Austin parishes to offer spiritual and emotional support through the Gabriel Project Ministry.

About the Gabriel Project Ministry

Parishes across the Diocese of Austin provide emotional and spiritual support for pregnant women and families in need through the Gabriel Project Ministry. This is done in a spirit of mentorship, advocacy, and Christian friendship. We seek to plant the seed of God’s love within the hearts of those facing an unplanned or difficult pregnancy who may feel overwhelmed, lost, alone, or afraid – whether rich or poor, single or married, young or older.

Gabriel Project Ministry Offerings

  • Hope and support for mothers and fathers during and after pregnancy, regardless of the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy
  • Assistance in a confidential and non-judgmental manner
  • Tools to strengthen families so children can grow in a nurturing environment
  • Life-affirming support for those facing difficult or unexpected pregnancies
  • Promote a respect and reverence for all human life in our community
