The following is an email that went out to a distribution list held by Jim Thomas from the Office of Catholic Faith Formation. If you or someone else in your parish has an interest, please contact Jim Thomas on or before April 12, 2010.
Life, Justice and Peace Contacts,
The Gabriel Project, a parish-based ministry to support pregnant women, is coming to the Archdiocese of Seattle. Started in Texas, the project “helps women in crisis pregnancies by offering Christian love and practical solutions at the parish.” Under the leadership of Fr. Ed White, pastor of St. Stephen the Martyr parish in Renton, plans are under way for a local training in September. The training would be provided by Dr. Marcella Colbert, Gabriel Project National Office. We are in the process of identifying people who are interested in the training and starting this ministry in their parish. Initially, we would like to have at least one parish in each of the ten deaneries.
To find out more about the Gabriel Project, please visit Dr. Colbert’s website (www.archgh.org/RespectLife/gabrielproject.htm). She serves as the Director of the Respect Life Office for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.
If you are interested in the training and starting this ministry in your parish, please let me know by April 12. I will pass along the names to Fr. White and the other organizers.
Peace,
Jim
