Respect Life: A group dedicated to proclaiming the gospel of life through prayer, education and action thus raising awareness of the sacredness of human life. Two of the ways in which we carry out our mission are:

Gabriel Project

"Rejoice! Fear not!" were his words of encouragement and hope delivered to the Madonna in announcement of her unexpected pregnancy. The Gabriel Project works to deliver this same message of hope to pregnant women today. Our mission is to respect all life -- at any age, in any circumstance. This means that we are profoundly committed not only to the unborn, but also to their mothers.

Lady of Angels Maternity Shelter

Opened in 1999, Our Lady of Angels Maternity Shelter in Temple is our response to the need for emergency shelter and housing for pregnant women.

The facility is licensed to provide a temporary shelter to women (14 years to adult) in crisis pregnancy by offering a loving and stable family environment to support the mother and child in their efforts to create a hopeful future for themselves. We have been in operation since 1999. There are no charges or fees. For information, call toll free 866-2340 or 254-742-2340.
