What is the Diocesan Pro-Life Helpline?
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.
