A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people who are all close to my heart

Lots of love, blessings, and prayers to you all.

Welcome all —

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, accommodates people and loves people.

Most of our seasonal parishioners seem to have gone home and now we are going on with the routine of our lives here at St. Gabriel’s. We wish and pray that all of them who went back to their other home, may they be safe and may they feel the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the guidance of our Blessed Mother in their lives. Our prayers and wishes to them all !!

Let us continue to try our best to make this community a worshipping community; a community where we respect and love each other. Now I feel some summer people are visiting our community. 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, accommodates people, and loves people.

thanks to all the heads of the various ministries

I would like to thank all the heads of the various ministries for their continued support and for their hard work all year long. Let us work together for the greater glory of God and for the good of the community. Some of the organizations you support the parish with their financial support. I wish to thank them. May God bless them. In a special manner, I thank the members of each organization for making an effort to support the church – God bless you all.

I would also like to appreciate and thank the maintenance person Francisco for his hard work and for his commitment to our church. He really makes such an impact, when it comes to our surroundings. The church is always kept clean and it’s always welcoming. I feel he does a great job and very many of you so appreciate what he does. May God bless him, and may God bless his family as well.

thank all those who came for the celebration on my ordination anniversary

I would like to also thank all those who came for the celebration on my ordination anniversary. I felt really blessed. Thank you.

Thank you for your love, for your support, and for your continued prayers. Please continue to pray for me that I will always be loyal to God and our Holy Mother Church. May God bless you.

I have also shared all that happened here for my ordination day with my family back home. My whole family was extremely happy that I am taken good care of here—-Thank you again!

God bless you all.
With lots of love and blessings,

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,
