Why do we support the Building campaign?    A reflection from….

During this season of Easter, I reflect on new beginnings and the many areas where I have been blessed in my life.  One such area toward the top of my list is my faith walk with my St. Gabriel parish family.  My journey as member of our parish has helped shape my life today.  I have been a member of St. Gabriel since it was formed and have witnessed the tremendous growth of our parish and the surrounding community.  This growth is a blessing, but is also a challenge.  The bible tells us that from everyone who has been given much, much will be required.  We have been given much: a church that has met our needs…up until now.  Much will be required: we must continue to build God’s Kingdom and increase our capacity in order to serve Him in whatever ways He calls us.   There are so many ways that a larger church would benefit our parish and surrounding community.  Thinking of Outreach Ministries, more space would mean more room for us to grow our current programs or add new programs.  We would also have the space to educate our parish family of the many needs of our neighbors who are struggling to make ends meet.  Increasing the size of our worship space would allow room for more parishioners to join St Gabriel.  With these parishioners, creative ideas and more manpower would follow in order to carry out these ideas.    If you haven’t already made a commitment to our Capital Campaign to build our church, please take the time to pray and ask God for help to discern how you can help.  For me, this is the 3rd campaign I have been a part of at St Gabriel and I struggled with how I could help this time.  Since I was laid off from my previous job and now have a job that pays substantially less, I was not sure how I would be able to contribute to this new campaign.  Through prayer and discernment, God showed me a way to make some adjustments in my life in order to support this much needed project.   As Catholics, God calls us to help the poor and vulnerable.  By providing a little help in many different ways, St Gabriel helps many in need in our community – think of the difference we could make if we had more space!   Wishing you and your families God’s blessings, Janet Hutchinson
