A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people closest to my heart!
God bless you and your generous heart.
Glad to Be Back At St Gabriel after my Visit Home to India.
I am glad to be back home at St. Gabriels. Yes, I had a great time with the family at home in India, meeting all my friends and families. They all send their love to you.
I had a chance to meet two of the bishops who told me that they would be visiting our parish. Some of my priest friends are also coming to St. Gabriel.
Welcome Back to our Seasonal Parishioners
I am extremely happy to have many of our winter parishioners back in our parish. The parish is full of people. I am extremely happy!
Let us all come and worship the Lord, our God.
Please, when you meet a visitor or a new parishioner, please welcome them. As you know everyone wants to be accepted and longs to be loved. Let us make this community of St. Gabriel a warm and welcoming community. Let everyone who comes here to our parish, feel the warmth and know that they are important and welcome.
Praying the Rosary
I am glad many of our people join the rosary right after Daily Mass. They are the source of spiritual strength to our parish. I would also recommend and request that every parishioner pray the rosary and take our parish to our Blessed Mother. I appreciate all those who come together and pray the rosary. May God bless you all.
Thank you to all of you, my dearest, for your cooperation with regards to ABCD. May I request all of you, my parishioners, to be involved and collaborate to achieve our goal. It’s with you and through you, you will be able to achieve our goal. Looking forward to it.
ABCD Kicks-off
Here is a letter from Archbishop Thomas G. Wenski.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, Hope is not always easy, especially in a broken world, yet our faith calls us to be agents of hope to unite, heal, and transform our world. In the most challenging times, when it is easy to lose heart, there is always an invitation to witness hope knowing that God never gives up on us.
In this Jubilee Year, we are all invited to serve as pilgrims of hope and develop a deeper connection with our faith, is not an attitude or opinion, but is a special gift from the Holy Spirit that is vital in our lives. It is what gives us confidence for the future, even when things may seem bleak. For us Catholics, Jesus is our hope. (Romans 5: 5)
The Archbishop’s Charities and Development Drive (ABCD) is one way we can bring hope to others and help them experience the transformative love of Christ-a love so powerful that it can heal the sick, convert hearts and change the course of someone’s life. Whether it is through advocacy, education, housing, or serving the poor – just to name a few – ABCD is bringing hope to those in need.
Please prayerfully consider opening your hearts in support of the ABCD and make a gift of hope today. A world without God is a world without hope, and a world without hope is a world without a future. We must unite to bring hope and the love of Christ to people – no matter who they are or where they live. Every gift makes a difference!
Be assured of my prayers for you and your loved ones. Thank you and God bless you. With hope and gratitude,
Most Reverend Thomas G. Wenski
Archbishop of Miami
We will have a second collection for the ABCD this weekend. Please be generous.
With lots of love and blessings.
Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,
— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

ABCD supports the many ministries of the Catholic Church in the three counties of our Archdiocese – these ministries represent concrete ways in which we perform what are called the spiritual and corporal works of mercy.
Through your support of the ABCD you help our Catholic Church here in South Florida reach out to those brothers and sisters Jesus speaks about in the Gospel.
ABCD is our Catholic Charities, our religious education programs, our Catholic schools.
ABCD is the support of our seminarians and priests.
ABCD is in our marriage preparation programs, and our lay ministries that form people to minister to the bereaved, the homebound.
ABCD exists because of the generosity of people like yourselves, people who in good times and in bad times keep their support of the Church on their list of major priorities.
Every gift makes a difference. Thank you and God bless you.

When you see a visitor, let us make them feel that they are welcome. Let them feel that it is a community that welcomes people, and loves people. And thanks to all the St Gabriel ministires.

I will celebrate my ordination anniversary on the tenth of May. I feel humbled and blessed that the precious and good Lord has also called me to share in the royal priesthood. The call to priesthood is the biggest precious gift in my life.
