As Catholics we firmly believe in and cherish human life from conception to natural death. We carry a positive message of love for life and ongoing enhancement of the relationship between the sanctity of our human lives, our souls and Christ's promise of eternal life if we live according to His commandments and the precepts of Holy Mother Church that is entrusted with the care of Christ's faithful on earth.
Gabriel Project
T he Gabriel Project, Montgomery County Cluster, is a pro-life ministry for pregnant mothers and their families. This ministry is an outreach program to local pregnant mothers and their families before and after their babies are born, as long as help is needed. Volunteers, known as Angel Friends, provide spiritual, emotional and material support to the pregnant mothers, in conjunction with the resources of the Project and partner organizations. Holy Redeemer Parish assists the Gabriel Project in many ways. Many of our parishioners are Angel Friends and prayer supporters. Fund-raising efforts, such as the annual Lenten Drive and Bottle Drive, are generously supported by parishioners. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or prayer supporter of this worthwhile pro-life ministry, please contact Deirdre Whitty at whitty7@comcast.net or 301-946-1243, or Sandy Buffalano at sbuffalano@aol.com
PLEASE SUPPORT LOCAL PREGNANT MOTHERS AND THEIR BABIES. We want to thank those HR parishioners that recently signed up to be "angel friends" for the Gabriel Project. We still need more volunteers-especially bi-lingual women! During the past 2 months, more than 50 NEW client mothers and their families have requested help from the Gabriel Project, Montgomery County Cluster. This is in addition to the 200+ already being assisted. The Gabriel Project Cluster of Montgomery County is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that assists low-income pregnant women and their children. During the pandemic and economic crisis, the need for the Gabriel Project’s services has grown tremendously while typical sources of support are greatly reduced. You can help provide critically needed material resources by purchasing essential items like baby gear, diapers, and clothing through the Gabriel Project’s Amazon Charity List. For more information about the Gabriel Project, please visit the website at www.gpmoco.org and look for the link for the Amazon Charity List at the top of the home page. You may also contact Deirdre Whitty, whitty7@comcast.net or Sandy Buffalano, sbuffalano@aol.com for more information. Thank you for your generous support!
Respect Life
The Holy Redeemer Respect Life Committee consists of parishioners dedicated to the ongoing work of the church to protect all human life. It is our mission to foster in the community an awareness of the dignity and sanctity of all human life, from conception to natural death. We are dedicated to observing and promoting the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church on all life issues, including: abortion, assisted suicide, fetal tissue research, stem cell research, and all other pro-life matters. We coordinate pro-life activities as well as keep parishioners informed about current legislation. Some of our activities include: the Annual DC March for Life, a Mother’s Day Carnation fundraiser, 40 days for life prayer vigils, rosaries, speakers, etc. We meet the 2nd Wednesday of the month from September to May at 7:30 pm in the lower level of the church. New members are always welcome – men and women. For more information contact Sandy Buffalano, sbuffalano@aol.com or Paul Hurley, ph48@georgetown.edu
