A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people closest to my heart!
God bless you and your generous heart
I’m Back!
My holidays in India were great.
I had such a wonderful time. It was extremely hectic, in a sense, traveling a lot and meeting lots of people. Although it was hectic I was pleased that I could bring a sort of happiness in the life of others.
Thank you to Everyone
I would like to express appreciation to the many people who took care of the routine here at St. Gabriel. Thank you. May God bless you all.
Welcome Back Seasonal Parishioners
As I was informing you during the weekend Masses, I have seen lots of winter parishioners and hundreds of visitors participating at the Mass, which makes me happy. My dearest people, please let everyone who comes to our parish feel welcome. Please welcome them. A smile, a word of welcome could make a huge difference in their life.
Moreover, I would like St. Gabriel to be a warm and welcoming parish for everyone; that is what Christ’s mind is about.
ABCD Update –
$12 a Month from Each Family Makes our Goal
Finally, the ABCD is here. This year our parish commitment is $133,661.00 This year we need to reach our goal. In the last two years, we have paid lots of money from our parish collections just because we have finished below our goal. Hence let us work together to reach the goal set by the Diocese. I believe it is feasible. We are 1000 families. If all the families donated $133.00, we could easily reach our goal, which means $12.00 per month would be enough to reach our goal. Can I request all of you to be involved in this, please?
I am looking forward to your cooperation. I have also inserted the letter of our Archbishop. May God bless you all!
ABCD Campaign Kick-off
In January – it will be all about the ABCD Campaign. No doubt our beloved Archbishop and his team have been working tirelessly to set out the program and they want all of us to achieve the goal. It has been arranged to have the priests preach about and for ABCD.
May I ask all of you to prayerfully consider your pledge toward achieving St. Gabriel’s goal? Many parishes do over and above their target. When we do above the target, the extra comes back to the parish, and if we DO NOT achieve the targeted goal, the money will eventually be taken from the parish account.
What this means is that we are called to reach our target.
Hence may I request you to come forward to achieve our target? As you are very well aware, the money goes to the education of the seminarians for their formation, to the catechism of the children, helping the poor, assisting the retired religious, and reaching out to the suffering around the world just to name a few of the programs.
With lots of love and blessings,
Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,
— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

I have heard many concerns about the Olympic opening ceremony. It should never have happened. Turn to the Eucharist.
