Weekly & Monthly Events
The Gabriel NetworkThe Gabriel Network (formerly known as the Gabriel Project) is an ecumenical movement in Maryland and D.C. of churches standing together in their commitment to offer assistance to women and families facing crisis pregnancies. Participating congregations advertise this commitment by placing a Sign of Life in front of their church: ![]() The Gabriel Network has built a network of more than 65 participating churches of various denominations, as well as nondenominational ones, in Maryland, D.C. and southern Pennsylvania, taking referrals from dozens of pregnancy centers and two statewide Gabriel Network hotlines (English and Spanish). The Project has helped more than 6000 mothers and their children in its first decade. The Project has four transitional homes for women and children.

Crisis Pregnancy CentersCrisis pregnancy centers usually provide a wide range of services for pregnant women and their male partners who would have great difficulty in maintaining themselves and their baby without assistance. This assistance is usually provided without fee. Although some of them are religiously affiliated, the services are usually provided without regard to the woman's religious affiliation or lack of affiliation. Most provide or refer to free pregnancy testing. Many provide counseling, or referrals to counseling, to persons struggling with the aftermath of abortion. Lists of Maryland-D.C. CentersThe following are listings of crisis pregnancy centers, and often other service providers to women with crisis pregnancies in Maryland and the District of Columbia:
Crisis Pregnancy Center Home PagesMany crisis pregnancy centers do not have home pages. However, here are some in the Maryland-D.C. area for whom I've found Web pages:
Project RachelProject Rachel is the post-abortion healing ministry of the Catholic Church. It will help anyone struggling with the aftermath of abortion - women, men, relatives, friends, etc. In this area, the Archdiocese of Baltimore Project Rachel has extensive information on the Web, and the Archdiocese of Washington Project Rachel can be reached at 202-269-4673. Pro-Life License Plates in MarylandUnlike other states, Maryland has not had a big battle over state-sponsored Choose Life license plates. But Maryland has a system whereby non-profit organizations can have their own license plate designs. Once approved, these license plates are available only to members of the sponsoring organizations. Applications for the plates are made through the organization, which handles the paperwork with the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). You pay the organization an amount which includes the state specialty plate charge as well as something for the organization's work. Two pro-life license plates have become available through this mechanism.
