Saint Gabriel the Archangel Parish News
May 1, 2015


________________________________
This Saturday - Crowning of Mary & Cinco de Mayo
Please join us as we Crown Mary before the 5pm Mass on Saturday.  The 5pm Mass will be followed by a  Cinco de Mayo dinner with tradition Mexican food and a presentation of Dance Folklorico.
________________________________
Holy Land Religious Articles On Sale This Weekend
The Bannoura family is offering unique religious handicrafts made from Holy Land olive wood after all the Masses this weekend. All Bethlehem Handicrafts products are created by Christian artisans from the wood of young pruned trees and tree trimmings from the   Bethlehem area. Because of the political situation in the Holy Land, commerce in and out of Bethlehem is extremely difficult. We are trying our best to maintain a Christian presence in the town where our Savior was born. Your purchases financially support the livelihood of artisans and their Christian families in Bethlehem.
________________________________
Fair Trade Ministry
Fair Trade coffee and chocolate will be available this weekend. In addition to receiving a quality product, you can make a positive difference in the world by helping impoverished coffee growers earn fair wages for their labor.
________________________________
First Communion Masses
86 Saint Gabriel children will be receiving their First Communion on Saturday May 9 and Sunday May 10. The number of children and their families is far too large to host at one Mass. We have decided to break up the ceremonies and have them during the 5pm Mass on Saturday, 8:30, 10:30 and 12:30 Spanish Mass on Sunday. There will be more family, friends and parishioners in attendance than usual during these Masses. Please pray for our children receiving this wonderful Sacrament.
