Sr. Mary Gabriel, SV: Receive the Gift You Are

Sister Mary Gabriel is a member of the Sisters of Life, a religious community founded by John Cardinal O’Connor and dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the sacredness of human life. The community’s apostolates include direct services to women in need and evangelizing on God’s plan for life and love (www.sistersoflife.org). Originally from Long Island, NY, Sr. Mary Gabriel earned a degree from the University of Dallas before entering the Sisters of Life in 1999. She assisted the development of the community’s evangelization mission and served as Vocation Director for 5 years and Novice Director for 10 years before completing a graduate degree in theology at the John Paul II Institute in Washington, DC. She has been involved with GIVEN since its inception, and currently serves as President and Chair of the Board.

Dr. Kathryn Rombs: Respond With the Gift Only You Can Give

Dr. Kathryn Rombs is the founder of Mighty Is Her Call, Inc., a ministry whose mission is to bring to light the Christ-like nature of the vocation of motherhood. She believes that Catholic mothers, especially open-to-life Catholic mothers, are unseen heroines who are embodying the spirit of Christ in profound and powerful ways. Kathryn currently resides in Rome, Italy, where she is either teaching philosophy at the University of Dallas’s Rome Program or earning a pontifical degree in theology at the Angelicum. Her doctorate from Fordham University is in philosophy with a specialization in Thomas Aquinas. She and her husband Ron have six children, one who is married and has a child, two of whom are students at the University of Dallas, and three of whom still live with Ron and Kathryn in their home away from home in Italy. You can discover what Kathryn is teaching at UD, what she is learning at the Angelicum, and what she is discovering as she explores Italy—all on her blog, “Eucharistic Motherhood.” Her writing sometimes appears in Magnificat, and she is author of the book, Motherhood: An Extraordinary Vocation.
