Thank you for your interest in becoming a Gabriel Project Volunteer! We currently have 6 trained volunteers in our Parish, four women and two men. Our volunteers work in the following roles:

Angel: A woman parishioner who is paired up with a Gabriel Project Mom to assess the Mom’s needs and provide emotional and spiritual support to the Mom. The Angel helps the Mom by suggesting local agencies and charities that may be able to meet the Mom’s needs and working with the Parish to coordinate any assistance that the Parish may be able to provide. This involves regular meetings with the Mom as long as she needs help.

Michael: A male parishioner who is paired up with a male friend or relative of the Gabriel Project Mom, (e.g. the husband/boyfriend or father of the Gabriel Project Mom), who provides emotional, spiritual and practical support, as available, to that male friend or relative.

Other Volunteer Roles: As the Gabriel Project as SHJ matures and expands, other roles will be added to meet the needs.

All Gabriel Project Volunteers are required to attend a 2-day training session hosted by the Archdiocese of Denver. These training sessions are typically offered twice a year in Spring and Fall. Volunteers who may be working with anyone under the age of 18 in the course of their volunteer work, must also attend the Safe Environment training “Protecting God’s Children,” a 3-hour training session which is offered frequently at local Parishes. In addition, all Gabriel Project Volunteers who will be working with Moms or their families, will be interviewed and must consent to a criminal background check.
