Back to School Drive

The BACK-TO-SCHOOL DRIVE - is our annual appeal coordinated through the St Gabriel Outreach Committee for children in the foster care system served by the Kids Crossing Child Placement Agency.  This years’ collection benefits 127 children and teens in multiple school districts. Some students are on modified or year round school schedules.  A display table with copies of the list of items requested will be set up in the Narthex from July 7th through July 29th for your donations. Having the required school supplies can make a huge difference in a young person’s self esteem and can help keep him or her on the right track towards school success. These youngsters need our support, encouragement and most importantly our prayers. In advance, we thank you for supporting at risk youth in our community and for your unfailing generosity!

Health & Safety Team
We are sponsoring a blood drive July 7th and 8th here at the Parish. Look for sign up rosters inside the nave this weekend.
Did You Know?  We have a First Aid Kit mounted above the drinking fountain near the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) by the north bathrooms? Any adult can use these consumable items.

Did You Know??

You may have heard of “Mindfulness”, a Buddhist meditation technique, and know it has become one of the most popular new spiritual practices of our day for enhancing self-awareness and inner calm, as well as for treating anxiety disorders.  You may have even tried it!   But, is it compatible with our Catholic Faith?    Read this new book from St. Gabriel’s Library, A Catholic Guide to Mindfulness, by Susan Brinkmann, and find out. Recommended by Fr. Kirk!
