The Angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. Upon arriving, the angel said to her: "Rejoice, O highly favored daughter!
The Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women." She was deeply troubled by the angel's words and wondered what the greeting meant. The angel went on to say to her:
"Do not fear, Mary, you have found favor with God."
You shall conceive and bear a son and give him the name Jesus. Great will be his dignity and He will be called Son of the Most High..."Mary said: "I am the servant of the Lord, let it be done to me as you say." With that the Angel left her.
We are a grassroots lay ministry of Catholic women trained to offer and provide confidential, caring, practical support. We address the individual concerns of the woman who feels she is experiencing a crisis pregnancy.
We are not professional counselors. Much like you some of us are mothers. Some of us are not. Some of us are married, some of us are single. Some of us are students, homemakers, and businesswomen. Some of us are unemployed. We are family. We are sisters. We are called Gabriel Angels. An angel will be with you as long as you want her to be.

The only condition we ask is that the child be allowed to celebrate God's gift of life.
