Stations of the Cross Art Presentation Tonight
Please join us on Wednesday, March 30th at 6:30 PM, at Saint Gabriel Church for an important discussion. Fr. Ronald Raab, CSC, pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Colorado Springs, will present his fourteen original Stations of the Cross paintings to the parish. This event will meet in Annunciation Hall, our new parish hall.
These paintings of the Stations of the Cross have been installed in the back hallway of our parish hall (the “gallery”).  You are invited to begin viewing and praying them.  We hope to have them in the parish for the remainder of Lent, and perhaps even longer.  Prayer books are available for purchase in the parish office, for $5.00, or you can use the self-guided tour displayed next to each painting.

FOCCUS Couples needed
We need some additional FOCCUS couples for our Marriage Preparation Ministry.FOCCUS Facilitators are members of organizations that prepare couples for marriage. They meet privately with engaged couples several times prior to their marriage to help them celebrate their relationship strengths and communicate positively with each other about issues they may not have thoroughly addressed. As a couple prepares for marriage, the primary goal of facilitation is to help couples talk openly and respectfully to each other about topics that are important to lifelong healthy marriage satisfaction so they can apply that learning towards their future together. For more information, contact Dcn Mike at mmcgrady at saintgabriel.net<mailto:mmcgrady at saintgabriel.net>
