St Gabriel Catholic Church
A Vibrant Faith Community in Christ
Parish History
Established in 1967, Saint Gabriel serves the faith and spiritual needs of the Catholic community in Pompano Beach and Hillsboro Beach.
St. Gabriel Beginnings
Through hard work, sacrifice, and dedication, parishioners constructed a rectory and a church with an elegant blue tile roof and ceramic doors made by two California aunts of Father Thomas Goggin, the first pastor. Parishioners also established a religious education program.
St. Gabriel Today
The tile roof remains but the harsh sea and salty air took their toll on the original doors. In 2017, the doors were replaced with the beautiful doors you see today.
The parish may be South Florida’s first to initiate a Parish Nurse/Health program in conjunction with Holy Cross Hospital, to serve the frail elderly.
Situated in the heart of Pompano Beach on A1A, just across the street from the beach, St Gabriel’s community is a blend of cultures, ages, and ethnicities.
St Gabriel is blessed to serve as a vibrant year-round parish for about a 1,000 families, which swells during “season” when we welcome our seasonal parishioners home.
Saint Gabriel’s spiritual life is embodied in prayer and our community outreach. St Gabriel offers parishioners many opportunities to participate in parish life – Bible study, prayer groups, Saint Vincent de Paul Society, Respect Life, the frail elderly, and many others.

PRAYER FOR GRANDPARENTS
Lord Jesus, you were born of the Virgin Mary,
The daughter of Saints Joachim and Anne.
Look with love on grandparents the world over.
For families for the Church and for all of society.
Support them! As they grow older,
May they continue to be for their families
Strong pillars of Gospel faith, guardians of noble
Domestic ideals, living treasures of sound religious,
Traditions. Make them teachers of wisdom and courage,
That they may pass on to future generations the fruits
Of their mature human and spiritual experience.
Lord Jesus, help families and society
To value the presence and role of grandparents.
May they never be ignored or excluded
But always encounter respect and love.
Help them to live serenely and to feel welcomed
In all the years of life which you give them.
Mary, Mother of all the living keep grandparents
Constantly in your care, accompany them on their
Earthly pilgrimage and by your prayers, grant
That all families may one day be reunited in our heavenly
Homeland where you await all humanity for the
Great embrace of life without end.
Amen
