St. Gabriel's Passionist Parish

At this year’s Easter Vigil, fourteen adults and six school-aged children were baptized. Two other adults were received into the Church; and a total of nineteen were confirmed. The parish community wishes to extend to all of them a warm welcome.

This year the National Catholic Mission was taped here at St Gabriel’s on the evenings of March 7 and 8. Many of our parishioners came out for the occasion, and had a wonderful experience. It will be aired on Vision TV on Monday, March 29 and March 30 (Tuesday) at 9:00 PM, and repeated at 11:00 PM.

In the afternoon of February 28, hundreds of parishioners gathered to join in our annual celebration of the Lunar New Year with fun and lots of food.

These photos were taken at the Workshop on St. Paul given by renowned New Testament scholar, Professor Raymond Collins. Fr. Collins, the author of numerous books and articles, spoke on St Paul, Preacher of the Gospel, the Women in St. Paul’s Ministry and The Cross in Paul. This was a wonderful opportunity to learn more about St. Paul and his writing.
