We exist to bring every person

into intimacy with Christ.

Peace Be With My Soul, Too!

By our parishioner Nora Jensen

Published by The Coming Home Network International

I grew up in the beautiful mountains of Colorado with loving parents. We were not religious at all; in fact, our family had an anti-Christian attitude. I believed in an impersonal God and had a deep devotion to angels, though I am not sure where those beliefs originated. My parents worked hard to provide for my brother and me, and they instilled in us a strong sense of right and wrong. We were a tight-knit family.

Wicca, a Family Affair

When I was 11 years old, my brother and I were playing in our yard. We stumbled upon a stone circle we had never noticed before; the stones and the circle were clearly placed by human hands, in a pattern that pointed to their ritualistic purpose. Thinking satanists must have snuck into our yard and built this thing, we proceeded to destroy it by kicking as many of the heavy stones out of place as we could. (Why satanists? I wonder to this day why we would have thought that.) Afterwards, we ran to the house to tell our mother what a great thing we had done.

Respect Life Month at St. Gabriel’s – October 2022

Celebrate Life with Respecting Life Ministries

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has instructed that not all policy issues are equal. The value of each human life must be acknowledged and protected first and foremost. As we work to end abortion by voting for candidates who support life, we must also take action to provide more support and services for pregnant moms and their families.

In Week Four of Respecting Life Month, we introduce readers to an amazing program being promoted by the Diocese of Phoenix called “Walking with Moms in Need.” This program is similar to the “Standing with Moms in Need” program endorsed by the USCCB. This article was written before the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, but since that time the need for us to act has increased in importance.

Week Four

“Our Catholic Conscience Calls Us to Action as Faithful Citizens”United States Conference of Catholic Bishops – Standing with Moms in Need

“[E]very human life, unique and unrepeatable, has value in and of itself; it is of inestimable value. This must always be proclaimed anew with the courage of the Word and the courage of actions. It calls us to solidarity and fraternal love for the great human family and for each of its members.”

–Pope Francis on the 25^thAnniversary of Evangelium Vitae (March 25, 2020)

The Catholic Church has a long history of service to those who are most vulnerable and remains the largest private provider of social services in the United States. Through the sacrificial efforts of faithful Catholics, the Church serves millions through diocesan ministries and agencies, Catholic hospitals and healthcare systems, immigration clinics, shelters, and Catholic schools and parishes. From religious communities to pregnancy care centers, from refugee resettlement services to foster care and adoption agencies, and from maternity homes to parish-based ministries, the Church consistently bears witness in word and deed to the beauty and dignity of every human life—including both mother and child.

As the chairmen of committees serving the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, we proclaim a vision for our society that upholds the truth that every human life is sacred and inviolable—a society in which the legal protection of human life is accompanied by profound care for mothers and their children. We exhort our nation to prioritize the well-being of women, children, and families with both material resources and personal accompaniment so that no woman ever feels forced to choose between her future and the life of her child.
