A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people who are all close to my heart!
Lots of love, blessings, and prayers to you all.

Meet our New Maintenance Man + surveillance camera project update

We have a new maintenance man here at the parish. He is still on his orientation and acclimating day by day. His name is Rodger. He is being taught all the necessary things about the church and its ministries. He recently moved here with his mother to join his father and family from Cuba.

He is learning English feel free to speak with him and assist him with your Spanish. He is a hard-working person. Since he is learning English, please use Google Translate in case you need anything from him or please let the office or me know and we will take care of it. There are members of the parish assisting him in all the ways possible for his settlement.

Surveillance Cameras

On another note, the surveillance camera project is completed. I am so happy and believe this will be of great support for our 24-hour security. 

Thanksgiving

We know, the Thanksgiving time of year at hand. Our St. Vincent DePaul is organizing the Thanksgiving Luncheon. If you have or know some of your family and friends, homebound, sick, and lonely, please bring them with you to the lunch sign-up sheet located in the back of the church.

We believe this would bring a sense of home and family—that is the purpose of having this meal.

Returning Seasonal Parishioners

These days, I am seeing a lot of our winter parishioners and visitors back at Mass and around the parish. We all welcome them back to their Florida home and parish. Everyone should feel at home and the warmth of our St. Gabriel family. For visitors to our church, everything is new to them, so everyone greets one another and shares our blessings! One smile, a word of welcome, or a wave would mark a great in their life.

Please do so.

God bless you all.

With lots of love and blessing.

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service.

—Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

It’s election mode time. Everything we say and do will be perceived with a political outlook. But at the same time as the Church, we need to be the voice of Christ. Mother Teresa on the “Great Destroyer of Peace – Abortion. The passage below is the voice of Mother Teresa at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C. on February 5, 1994. I believe her wisdom and concerns are so relevant today. Here you go.

On October 1, Catholics around the world honor the life of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, or St. Thérèse of Lisieux on her feast day. St. Thérèse was born January 2, 1873 in Alençon, France to pious parents, both of whom are scheduled to be canonized in October 2016. Her mother died when she was four, leaving her father and elder sisters to raise her.
