A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people closest to my heart!

God bless you and your generous heart.

Volunteer Appreciation Dinner

I am extremely delighted to let you know that there is going to be an appreciation dinner for all the parish volunteers. As the shepherd of St. Gabriel, I would proudly claim that there are so many of our people who share their time and talents for the good of our church. The numbers are incredible.

The Church is our Family

I want our people to feel that the church is the extension of their family, which is the truth in this case. This is the church from which we are nourished. This is from where we are fed. This is where we gain strength. And this is where our spiritual batteries are recharged. I know that I cannot do everything by myself.

By Working Together we are all stronger

When we all work together and when you all collaborate, we will be able to make a better community, an active community and that also would be what community means. Now as the shepherd I just want all the volunteers to come together and share our fellowship. This is in a way great, for the simple reason, some people may be volunteers for years but may not have a chance to meet and come together.

Come and meet other volunteers

It is also a good opportunity for us to come together and meet and enjoy the fellowship. I want to appreciate all those involved with the church in different ways and ministries.

May God bless you all.

I want to join together and say,

“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior” LK. 1:46.

I thank the Almighty for all of you. May He continue to shower down His blessings upon you all. Let us grow together as a praying, worshipping community. May we all be living examples of Christ’s love to the world.

With lots of love and blessings.

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,

— Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

A Tribute to my Mother
She loved God, the Church, and her priests.
“The greatest gift God can give to a family is a priestly or religious vocation. A vocation born in a family is God’s blessing to that family, a joy to the parish, and a grace to the whole community.” The quote above is often attributed to St. John Bosco, and I have always felt it speaks the truth about my own family.

The Gift of Time and Prayer.
If the secular world cannot come to Christ in prayer, why don’t we bring them to Christ through our prayers? They are weary and burdened, and they, too, need to find rest in Christ Jesus. Prayer honors God. It acknowledges His presence and His greatness. It exalts His power, trusts in His providence, seeks His help, and, above all, makes us humble.

The Eucharist: The Center of Our Lives. My dearest people, closest to my heart,
As a second and third grader, I would sometimes go to church at 3:00 a.m. and sleep on the church steps until it was time to open the doors. That was simply part of my routine. I wanted to be an altar server…
