A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people who are all close to my heart!
Lots of love, blessings, and prayers to you all.
ABCD Drive is Underway
Our target is $124,711.00
I am Happy to Be back home
I am extremely happy to be back in our parish, this is my home, and glad to be back home! I had a wonderful time with all of my friends after 20 years. It was a delight. I want to thank you for your prayers, support, and for your wishes.
ABCD- the Archbishop’s Charities Drive
Dear friends, one of the reasons I came back early was to take care of the ABCD- the Archbishop’s Charities Drive. As we all know our beloved Archbishop has many plans for this esteemed Archdiocese and needs the resources to meet these challenges.
Hence, he extends the invitation to all the parishes of his Diocese to support him through this drive.
Goal Missed at St. Gabriel the last 3 years
Since my first year in this parish three years ago, we have not met the goal or target.
I understand, covid was the main reason. But this year we need to meet the target. Our target is $124,711.00. I have heard that all the parishes of our diocese meet the target and some overachieve their goal.
This year I have committed to achieving the goal with your cooperation and support. The Archbishop looks to and anticipates everyone’s participation in the Diocese programs.
I am looking forward to each and every one of our parishioner’s support. It is doable. When each and every one of us does something on our part. I believe we can accomplish more than we expect.
Help Us Make our Goal
May I request and appeal to you all to support the Diocese in this initiative? I pray that each one of us does our part…then we can without a doubt make it. The finance council members will be assisting you with regard to this. We will be updating our records, addresses, and phone numbers. I will be forming our core group and they will do that. And they will be reaching out to you. Please assist them as well.
Welcome back to all the winter parishioners!
May God bless us all! Welcome back to all the winter parishioners! Glad that you are back again. Welcome to some new parishioners! We appreciate you joining our parish family.
Please let me know whether I could assist you in any way. We will also refresh and rejuvenate our groups. We will have a few weeks for enrollment of the new members. May God bless and direct us to our parish.
Please continue to pray for me. I continue to hold you in my prayers.
God bless you all.
With lots of love and blessing.
Ever wanting to be faithful to your service.
—Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

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}.

Feast of Joachim and Anne | the parents of Jesus’ mother, Mary. On July 26 the Roman Catholic Church commemorates the parents of the Virgin Mary, Saints Joachim and Anne.
