St. Gabriel’s Call is a ministry that reaches out to women who are pregnant, desperate, and in need of assistance through a confidential intervention program. They can help make things easier for mothers-to-be and beyond their pregnancy in a local and personal way by providing material needs, friendship, and guidance through a difficult time. They also offer access to social services provided through the Diocese of Providence’s offices of Catholic Charities and Social Ministry. If you or someone you know needs help – or if you would like to donate to this important ministry – please contact the diocesan Office of Life and Family Ministry at 401-278-2518 or lcooley@dpvd.org

SUNDAY SMILE
One Mom had a most revealing experience on Mother’s Day. Her two children ordered her to stay in bed. She lay there looking forward to being brought her breakfast, as the inviting smell of bacon floated up from the kitchen. At last, the children called her downstairs. She found them sitting at the table, each with a large plate of bacon and eggs: “As a Mother’s Day surprise,” one explained, “we’ve cooked our own breakfast.”
