Gabriel's Retreat Ministries & Michael's Retreats

We Hold the Momma!

Gabriel’s Retreat Ministries is a Catholic-based retreat & support ministry for women facing any type of unexpectedness in pregnancy or postpartum. 

We currently provide 3 no-cost retreats a year for pregnant and postpartum moms (up to 1 year). These retreats allow the women the time and space they need to step back from the noise of the world to process God’s timing and plan for their lives. 

In recognizing the need for continued accompaniment, we also created Elizabeth’s Support. Our Elizabeth Support programs includes: free Education Classes (infant care & lactation), Welcome Baby Meals, Diaper Drops, Mom Check-ins & visits, monthly Moms Book Club, Lenten Bible Studies, connection/partnership with other great area resources and more.

Over the past 4 years, our retreats and Elizabeth's support programs have journeyed with over 75 mommas as well as their babies and families to help provide much-needed love and support. 

We are grateful to be able to participate in #iGiveCatholic! Last year's campaign allowed us the funds to expand childcare for retreats and book clubs and most exciting, launch a pilot of Michael's Retreat in Feb. 2025. Michael's Retreat is a retreat for fathers (expecting or has a child 2 or younger). Being able to expand our services in this way, has helped us better hold our mommas, so they can better hold their child! Thank you!

This year we are hoping that #iGiveCatholic can help us continue to provide no-cost Gabriel's Retreats for our mommas and also permanently add bi-yearly no-cost Michael's Retreats!
