A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people who are close to my heart.
Prayerful greeting to you. I am indeed happy to tell you that I was extremely pleased last Sunday just before the Mass because we had a good turnout for the Sacrament of Confession.
I do remember the wisdom and challenge of my liturgy professor who said, “I would judge your spirituality, guys, by the way people come for Mass and the number who avail themselves of the Sacrament of Confession. So, I was glad to see you, my dear people, making great use of confession. God bless you. Please keep up the good work.
WELCOME BACK to the parish, my dear people who are all back from your summer escape. I am delighted to have you back. I can see the church I filling up. Great! God bless you all.
As I told you I do receive a lot of positve comments. I do take them all with a sense of responsibility. Thank you though.
Please let me know whether I can do anything for you to serve you better. Your constructive suggestions and comments for the good of the church are always appreciated and welcomed. Please stop at the office, if you want to talk to me or send me an e-mail at saintgabrielminister@aol.com which is another way to connect. I am open to it. I am here to SERVE you.
As always, I appeciate it. We have greatness and holiness here at our church. Let us increase these qualities and make this parish where we can all come together, worship together and grow in relation with each other and with God. God bless you all
Blessings!
Please be assured of my prayers for each and every one of you. You are rememberred and prayed for in my personal prayers and at the altar

Holy Days of Obligation | The Catechism of the Catholic Church
The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains holy days of obligation this way:
Family needs or important social services can legitimately excuse the obligation of Sunday rest (specified in the Fourth Commandment). The faithful should see that legitimate excuses do not lead to habits prejudicial to religion, family life, and health {CCC 2185}.
