A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people who are close to my heart!

Lovable greetings to you. I hope and believe that these few lines of mine find you in good health. 

Right away I wanted to let you know that you are missed. The church without you is not the same. Please know I do remember and pray for you in my daily mass as well as in my prayers. 

During this time of quarantine due to this virus, the church is closed and it’s so quiet and calm. 

As the local church, we do live streaming the masses and the events of the church. Please watch them at https://stgabrielpompano.com/.

If you can’t attend “live” or have problems watching live, replays of all live events are posted on the website about an hour after they finish. We do have our Stations of the Cross and Mass over the website. 

I would also like to inform you that if you need any sacraments, please call the office 954.943.3684 we will be able to assist you. I would also be delighted to hear your confession at any time. Please let me know, I will be gladdened to attend them for you. 

As the church, it’s extremely slow down, we are doing some augmentation works here at the church. 

  • The internet at the office is extremely slow hence in the hall we don’t get good reception, therefore we conduit it and taking care of it. 
  • We are also trying to fix the hurricane shutters that needed some repairs and maintenance. We are looking into it.

Please stay healthy and safe. 

I wish and pray that all of your loved ones also stay safe and healthy as well. Let us be united with the Lord in our prayers. May the Lord bless us and may our blessed mother wrap all of us under her mantle. My sincere prayers for you all.

Let us also pray that the whole world would be free of this. Please stay safe. Please allow me to end my note by stating that please be assured of my prayers for you all. I will be. 

May God Bless You All.
Please Stay Safe and healthy!
Ever at your service.

 

With lots of love and blessing,
—Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

What is the Sacrament of Confession? Why do we need confession? What are the benefits of going to confession? The Sacrament of Confession is one of the most unique and beautiful aspects of Catholicism. Jesus Christ, in His abundant love and mercy, established the Sacrament of Confession so that we as sinners can obtain forgiveness for our sins and reconcile with God, our neighbors, and the Church.
