The Gabriel Project

If you or someone you know is considering an abortion, please contact us. The Gabriel Project ministry assists parishes in establishing a parish-based outreach program for pregnant women. (Each woman is assigned an angel to help her during and after her pregnancy) We provide information and access to supportive ministries and resources: housing, day care, job placement, etc.

The Gabriel Project is currently supported by three parishes in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. Our Lady of Guadalupe in Albuquerque, San Clemente in Los Lunas, and St. Anne’s Parish in Santa Fe. The Gabriel Project is very simple in its design and implementation within the parish. One person in the parish is all that is needed to begin this ministry. A person with the desire to help a new mom through her pregnancy and the ability to work well with others is needed. The individual willing to step forward in this role is called the Gabriel Project Coordinator.

Together with the PDL GP coordinator, the parish priest will be called upon for his support. Upon his understanding and approval of the ministry, a Gabriel Project Sunday will be scheduled, where a three minute presentation to the parish will be held after all the Sunday Masses and sign-ups will take place for those interested in learning more about this ministry.

An information/training class will be held (usually) on Saturdays from 9 am to 3 pm. The training class includes: communication skills, a profile of a woman with an unplanned pregnancy, Natural Family Planning, adoption awareness, legal issues, etc. An attractive sign is placed outside the church, witnessing the parish family’s commitment to the unborn and the pregnant woman in crisis.
