A Message from Father Nathan
This Month we kick off the St Gabriel” Diamond Jubliee
We will be starting our celebration this year on March 24, 2026.
This month is going to be one of the most important months in the history of St. Gabriel’s Church. We are going to kick-start the Diamond Jubilee of our parish. Wow! What a blessing!
May God continue to bless our parish!
I thank the Lord for all the archbishops and priests who have assisted and helped to encourage our parishioners’ love of Christ and the Church. We have come to this level because they brought Christ to our lives and helped us to develop a deeper love of the Church.
On the 24th of this month (which is going to be Tuesday), our Auxiliary Bishop Enrique of our Archdiocese,will be here at St.Gabriel to start the Jubilee and to bless every one of us.
I Encourage Everyone to Join Us at 4:00 Pm on March 24
First, at 4:00 p.m., we will have the blessing of the groundbreaking ceremony in front of the church for the bell tower, followed by the Holy Mass presided over by Bishop Enrique. May I ask all of you to come together with us for the celebration even though it is happening on a weekday? Please plan ahead and grace the historical occasion by your presence. It’s our church and the event will enable us to feel proud to be part of it as members of the church.
May God bless you all. As we are in the season of Lent,
May God bless you all. As we are in the season of Lent, please remember that Lent is not about proving something to God – it is about returning to Him. Pray more – Not many words, but more heart. Sit in silence. Let God look at you. Let Him love you. Fast wisely – Not only from food, but from anger, gossip, pride, and unnecessary noise. Make space in your soul. Give gently – Give forgiveness. Give patience. Give attention. Charity begins in small, hidden acts. Examine honestly – Each night ask: Did I love today? Did I trust God today?
Walk with Jesus
– Lent is a journey to the Cross, but ends in Resurrection. Do not carry your burdens alone. As Saint Augustine said:
Return to your heart….and from your heart to God:
Let this Lent be simple: Less noise. More prayer. Less self. More Christ.
With prayers and blessings, and ever at your service

Archbishop’s Letter
My dear Brothers and Sisters,
Life can be noisy and, at times, overwhelming. Yet in the quiet moments of prayer, a still, gentle voice speaks to us—a deep conviction that stirs within and calls us to look beyond ourselves. Each day, we’re surrounded by the clamor of the world—its demands, its distractions, its pressures—but even in the midst of it all, God calls us to pause, to listen, and to respond to the quiet prompting within us: to see and serve the needs of others.
Let us come together to bring light where there is darkness, peace where there is conflict, and love where there is need. There is great strength in unity—and when we are united in Christ, we become a powerful force for good in a world longing for hope and healing.
Together, we must do good and seek peace. Together starts with you.
By giving to the Archbishop’s Charities and Development Drive, the ABCD, you bring hope to those in greatest need. This is our Church, our mission—to serve with heart and compassion.
The ABCD lives out this mission every day: feeding the hungry, consoling the suffering, embracing the stranger, advocating for justice, and upholding the dignity of the poor with love. The work of our Church in South Florida, through the ABCD, is not merely charitable—it is profoundly sacramental, a visible expression of Christ’s love in the world.
As Pope Leo XIV said, “United hand in hand with God… let us go forward. The world needs His light.” Let us seek peace, do good,
and stand in the light of Christ.
Now is the time to come together. Your gift to the ABCD supports a mission that reflects the very heart of the Gospel.
Thank you for uniting with me to be One in Faith, One in Hope, and One in Charity. Your faith and generosity bring the Gospel to life. May God bless you and keep you in His peace.
With hope and gratitude,
Most Rev. Thomas G. Wenski
Archbishop Of Miami

Celebrating my 21st Ordination
May 10
This week, I will celebrate my 21st Ordination anniversary. I DO NOT like any celebrations for me personally, but when the priesthood is celebrated, I really like it. It’s not the person but the priesthood of Christ…
