Congratulations to Gabriela Ross from the Office of Marriage and Family Life on being honored as Chapter of the Year! 👏
Gabriela Ross, archdiocesan director of the Office of Marriage and Family Life, accepted the Red Bird Ministries’ Mission Star 2026 Chapter of the Year Award during the Boogie-with-the-Birdies event in Broussard, La., on April 17th.
“Losing a child is an extraordinary cross to carry, and what helps the most is having someone to carry it with you, By having a local [RBM] chapter, we now have a place where parents can go to meet other local parents who have been carrying that cross a little longer and can enter into their grief without fear, while providing their own witness of faith and hope,” said Gabriela who helped start a local chapter last year in Indiana.
Thank you Archdiocese of Indianapolis for featuring RBM this month and for sharing Catholic grief support resources in your community.
