A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people who are all close to my heart!
Lots of love, blessings, and prayers to you all.
The ABCD IMPACT
In solidarity with the world in need
The Church is called to be an “advocate of justice and of the poor” in the face of intolerable social and economic inequalities, which “cry to heaven”. Your gifts to the ABCD help the Church here in South Florida to walk with the poor as their friend.
The ABCD appeal is made once a year, and unlike the weekly collections at Masses, which stay in the local parish, these funds go to the archdiocese, to fund programs and services that are beyond the scope of individual churches.
As we celebrate the final days of Christmas and The Epiphany of the Lord we begin our annual ABCD charity drive.
During January, it will be all about the ABCD Campaign. No doubt our beloved Archbishop with his team have been working tirelessly to set out the program and they want all of us to achieve the goal. It has been arranged to have the priests preach about and for ABCD.
Please Prayerfully consider your Pledge
May I ask that all of you prayerfully consider your pledge toward achieving St. Gabriel’s goal? There are many parishes that achieve over and above their target. When we exceed the target, the extra money comes back to the parish, and if we DO NOT achieve the targeted goal, the money will eventually be taken from the parish account. What this means is that we are called to reach our target. Hence may I request you to come forward to achieve our target?

ABCD does Good. It helps the Poor and marginalized + Educated seminarians
As you are very well aware, the money goes to the education of the seminarians for their formation, to the catechism of the children, helping the poor, assisting the retired religious, and reaching out to the suffering around the world to name a few of the program.
I am Visiting My Family in India
While I am away I will be, according to the convenience of the internet in India, in touch with you on Facebook about what is happening here at St. Gabriel’s. I am sure that my visit is going to be hectic, but I believe, I need time with my family, after the holidays.
I have made arrangements for all the Masses and Sacraments in my absence. Everything should go smoothly with your help. If there is anything so urgent or an emergency please call the office, and you will be helped
God bless you all.
With lots of love and blessing.
Ever wanting to be faithful to your service.

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…

Easter Sunday. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Fulfilling God’s plan of redemption and the promise of eternal life.

Holy Doors Pilgrimage Trip Report. We are back, healthy and renewed. We had a great pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi. Everyone stayed healthy. The places we visited were more than I expected! I have realized that I have yet to learn an ocean of knowledge about our Catholic faith.

Become a Prayer Warrior. Time is Precious & With Age we Gain Time. There is no doubt that most of our parishioners are age 63 plus. Some may be quick to assume that because of our age, we cannot do a lot to contribute to the community and to society. It’s so unfortunate to think that.

I am in Rome on the Holy Doors Pilgrimage with a Group of Parishioners. Please keep us in your prayers. Preparations have begun for Holy Week and Easter. We have planned the liturgies and all the details they involve. I wish and pray that our people have a meaningful celebration of Holy Week and Easter.
