Ash Wednesday Schedule

Ash Wednesday is February 14. Masses with distribution of ashes will be at 7am, 12:15pm, and 6:30pm (Combined Mass).  Second Collection for the Church in Central and Eastern Europe. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will be offered beginning at 10:00 am, and between 1:00-5:00 pm, ending with simple reposition at 5:00 pm. Rosary will be said at 6pm.

________________________________

Overflow Section

Please be aware that on the weekends of February 10/11 and 17/18, the overflow will be NOT available for seating.  Please sit in the Nave.  Parents with children, if you need to leave the Mass celebration temporarily, there will be a small number of chairs set up in the Narthex for your use.

________________________________

January Food Collection

1914 pounds were delivered to Mercy’s Gate as a result of the Jan food collection.   Our good issue right now is that we are running out of totes at times. We know that there are enough totes but it seems that they may temporarily get “lost” in garages and basements. If you “find” a “lost” tote please return it in future months since the generous people of St. Gabriel are providing such great support for those in need.

________________________________

Stations Of The Cross

Stations of the Cross will be held each Friday of Lent at 6pm followed by a Soup Supper or Fish Fry at 6:30pm.

________________________________

Lenten Fish Fry's

The Knights of Columbus will be hosting 3 Friday fish fry's scheduled during lent. They are to be held on February 16, March 2, and March 23 immediately following Stations of the Cross. The price for these dinners is $9.00 per adult, $5.00 per child 3-12 years of age, and children under 3 are free.
