The number for the Diocesan Pro-Life Helpline – 1-877-WE-CARE2 – is advertised throughout the diocese for those who are experiencing a difficult pregnancy and are need of assistance (Gabriel Project) as well as for those suffering from a past abortion (Project Rachel). Trained volunteers, called Helpline Angels, provide a listening ear to the callers and offer referrals to meet their needs. Referrals may be for physical, spiritual, or practical (material) assistance & include referrals to Parish Gabriel Projects, Gabriel Project Life Centers of Catholic Charities, and Project Rachel.
Listen compassionately to callers and provide nonjudgmental and compassionate support
Gather information from the callers and refer them to Gabriel Project, Project Rachel, the Gabriel Project Life Center at Catholic Charities, or other community resources
Maintain contact with the diocesan Pastoral Care Coordinator as needed
