Gabriel Project

One Angel, One Mom, One Child


The Gabriel Project is a one on one  mentoring service to women of our community experiencing a crisis pregnancy.  She is placed with a trained parish member, an ANGEL, to assist her through out the pregnancy and after the baby is born until she is strong enough to stand on her own.


We, the members of St. Catherine Catholic Church, see in the birth of each baby, a fresh expression of God’s unfailing love. For the love of God and each and every one of His children, we offer practical help to any woman faced with a crisis pregnancy. We have a special concern for you and your unborn child. We await your call.

SPIRITUAL ADOPTION

The time is growing near to when the babies we've prayed for in our Spiritual Adoption will be born. How exciting anticipating the beginning of a new life. To celebrate this joyous, holy occasion the CCW Gabriel Project will be collecting small gifts and gift cards to share with our families with new babies. Many of our families can't afford new layettes items: blankets, booties, socks, and. What a wonderful way for us to celebrate Gods newest gifts of life! Please bring small items and gift cards to Mass on May 4th and May 11th (Mothers Day); a basket and Gift Card box will be displayed in the entrance of our church. If you are headed back up North please feel free to call me and I'll gladly pick up your gift at an earlier date. God bless and thank you for your generosity and prayers.

GABRIEL ANGEL DAILY PRAYER

Dear Jesus,
We come to you this afternoon in supplications,
and ask, to enter your Heart of Divine Love, with
the mothers You have bound to the Gabriel Angel’s lives, and entrusted to their care, in Your name.

Lord, they are not able to love them like You do,
they are not able to provide for them like You can.
They have nothing good to offer them but You,
who alone are all good, and every blessing to them.

And so Good shepherd, please protect these mothers and deliver them from evil this day.
Supply their every need, according to Your merciful and
kind providence, and bountiful generosity.

Let them experience your infinite tenderness
and gentleness towards mothers and children.

Bind them to You with cords of love, and may their path
Today be fragrant with Your loving kindness. And at the end of this day, as at the end of their lives, enfold them in Your eternal embrace in peace.

And now Lord we bring these specific needs to you, for your loving attention. (Pause and name intention)

Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers. Amen
