1. How can I support the efforts of Mobile Gabriel?

Trask who keep the site current.  Pray for Kristofer Cowles and the people of Intercomcity.net for their webhosting support.  Pray for those who are studying for the priesthood.  And pray that those whom God is calling to the ministry of priesthood will be attentive to that call!

    Though Mobile Gabriel is a free service, there are some significant web hosting expenses (approximately $200/month) associated in providing Mobile Gabriel to the internet community.  If you would like to make a contribution to help offset some of the costs involved, you may do so via snail-mail or PayPal.
