Start with these three resources
The Rule gives the family a standard. The device guide helps parents choose the least powerful phone that serves the need. The Community Action Plan helps families move together.
The Gabriel Family Technology Rule
A Catholic rule of life for phones, screens, AI, bedrooms, meals, prayer, Mass, sleep, study, chastity, attention, and peace.
Smartphone vs. Basic Phone
A parent’s guide to basic phones, smartphones, and the middle path: a Gabriel-managed smartphone with only the powers your child needs.
Community Action Plan
A simple guide for parishes, schools, co-ops, and parent groups that want families to choose shared phone norms and invite parents into the pledge.
When the rule needs to become a boundary
The Plan is free forever, and hopefully helpful. Gabriel helps parents make their children's devices exactly what they need: apps, web access, bedtime, school tools, and parent-chosen permissions.
FOR PARISHES AND SCHOOLS
A simple plan parishes can hand to parents
Pastors, principals, youth ministers, homeschool leaders, and parent groups can share the Gabriel Plan to build up parents and families in their community. Send the resources, invite families to sign the pledge, and point parents to Gabriel when they want help managing the devices they own.

Write the rule. Choose the right powers. Act together.
The goal is a more ordered home: more prayer, better sleep, stronger study, deeper friendship, chastity, attention, and peace.
