Veneration of Relics of Divine Mercy Saint
 St. Gabriel’s will be hosting the relics of St. John Paul II and St. Faustina on Friday, October 5, the feast day of St. Faustina. Relics will be on display from 10:00 am to 6:00pm and will be followed by a Pizza and Movie night showing the movie, Power in My Hands, created by the Rosary Evangelization Apostolate.
________________________________
There will be a special second collection taken during the weekend of October 6/7.

 The funds collected in this special appeal for 2018 Disasters will be used to support the efforts of Catholic Charities USA and/or Catholic Relief Services, the official relief agencies of the US Catholic Church, as they and their local agencies respond to immediate emergency needs for such necessities as water, food, shelter, and medical care and aid in long-term rebuilding and recovery efforts, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for pastoral and reconstruction needs of the Church.  Funds will be used in response to Hurricane Florence and any other natural disasters that occur this year.

Liturgical Ministry Fair

Save the Date:  The parish will hold a liturgical ministry fair after all Masses next weekend, Oct 6/7.  Prayerfully consider how you can step up to serve the Mass.  Every ministry needs volunteers:  Environment, Sacristans, Sound Tech, Ushers, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Altar Servers, Music, Readers, and Commentators.  This is a great way to get involved in the parish, and we’d love to share more information on what’s involved and offer training.  Contact Kathy Thomas at kthomas at saintgabriel.net for more information.

Pet Blessing

Join Deacon Mike for a Blessing of the Animals at 10:00am on Saturday, October 6. We’ll gather our creatures, great and small, in front of the church for a special blessing, in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, whose feast is Oct. 4. All animals are welcome!

Knights of Columbus Council 12335 Youth Soccer Challenge Competition, October 13th, 10-12 AM, Liberty High School Field

All boys and girls ages 9-14 are invited to participate in our local level 2018 Knights of Columbus Soccer Challenge. The Challenge is sponsored annually, and winners can progress through local, district, and state-level competitions. Our local competition will be held October 13, 2018, 10:00 AM to Noon, at Liberty High School Field.  This event will occur rain or shine.

Players participate within age brackets which are determined by the age of the contestant as of September 1. Proof of age (e.g. birth certificate) and parental consent are required with the entry forms at registration the day of the event. The Challenge is designed for players to demonstrate a basic soccer skill — the penalty kick.  Each player receives three practice kicks followed by 15 consecutive kicks at the goal from the penalty line (12 yards from the goal.)  All age groups kick from the same line.

Ages 9, 10,11 (Boys & Girls Competitions) will use a regulation-size soccer ball (size #4).  Ages 12,13,14 (Boys & Girls Competitions) will use a regulation-size soccer ball (size #5). Scoring will be judged based on the goal viewed as five scoring zones (upper corners worth 20-points;  lower corners 10-points; and, central region is a five-point zone.)

For players who advance from local and district events, the state-level soccer challenge will be scheduled here in Colorado Springs, the afternoon of November 3rd at St Mary High School Grace Center Field.

Every Life: Cherished, Chosen, Sent

This weekend, Catholics nationwide celebrate Respect Life Sunday with the theme "Every Life:

Cherished, Chosen, Sent." October is Respect Life month and there are many activities going on in the Diocese such as 40 Days for Life, Roses for Life, the Life Chain, and the Bishop’s Respect Life Dinner.  The table in the Narthex has information on all of these events and more.  Also displayed are pictures of live children in the womb, and those same children after birth.   Thanks to my grandchildren for being the models for these beautiful pictures of life.  If you would like more information on the Respect Life Program, please contact Angel McGrady, admcgrady at gmail.com
