Our parish and the Bryan/College Station Deanery are beginning the process of providing support for mothers/fathers during pregnancy, after the birth, and with child-rearing. Catholic Charities and the St. Gabriel's Pregnancy & Parenting Program is working with us. They will be providing training for volunteers and will provide case management. This program fits in with the USCCB's initiative: Walking with Moms in Need. Already, our parish has held a virtual baby shower as well as provided Traveling Mercies transportation and meals for a mom in need. If God is calling you to serve with this ministry or to accept support, please register below.
