Thank you for visiting our website, Abiding in Hope.
We are happy to welcome you and hope you find here practical resources that will enrich your lives with encouragement, peace, freedom and joy.
This website is designed in collaboration with our radio program, Abiding in Hope, a production of St. Gabriel Catholic Radio in Columbus, OH on AM820 and online at stgabrielradio.com. Our mission is to help you live virtuous lives and find God’s mercy and redemption in the good times and the bad.
We gladly invite your participation on the radio show and this website by submitting your questions on the spiritual life, marriage, family, relationships, and matters where faith, hope, and life’s difficulties and anxieties intermingle. Please submit your questions here.
As the radio show and its twin sibling, this website, are in their infancy, beginning in September 2017, we ask you to check back frequently as the website grows with archives from the show, Father Baker’s homilies, insightful blog posts, and valuable links to faithful Catholic teachings.
