A ministry of Catholic Charities of Central Texas (CCCTX) for providing help to pregnant women who are in a crisis pregnancy. A network of churches works together to assist women in an unconditional loving and non-judgmental manner. A trained volunteer, called an Angel, is assigned to the mother when she calls in for help. Through the Gabriel Project the mother can receive love, care and the spiritual, material and emotional support she needs. Since 1999, Saint Mary's Parish has assisted many women by providing friendship, educational information, emotional and spiritual support, referrals to community resources and material assistance of maternity clothes and baby items.
