Additional Education and Outreach Opportunities
Gabriel Project
This parish-based outreach ministry works with the Family Life Office to support mothers in crisis due to an unplanned pregnancy. Interested parishioners are trained to provide a listening ear and help mothers locate the resources needed within the community and the church to provide them with spiritual, material and emotional support during and after pregnancy. The purpose is to offer friendship, love and encouragement to women who otherwise might not choose life for their unborn babies.

Respect Life Ministry
This committee helps parishioners understand, value and live out the Catholic vision of respect for life. Embracing a consistent life ethic, we seek to address the sanctity and dignity of human life from birth to natural death, especially issues surrounding abortion, contraception, euthanasia, armed conflict and capital punishment.
