Gabriel Project
|
Gabriel Project offers support to women experiencing an unplanned pregnancy and beyond by providing "a friend for the journey". Expectant and new mothers receive unconditional, nonjudgmental and confidential accompaniment, along with material, emotional and prayer support, through a network of parish-based volunteers, called "angels". If you are pregnant and need help, please call the Gabriel Project helpline at (913) 602-0306, or visit www.gabrielprojectkc.com.
