Marriage
The Parish assists people who wish to marry and offers a couple of weekend pre-marriage courses during the year for couples preparing to receive the Sacrament.
As there are many weddings celebrated at St. Gabriel’s, couples are encouraged to contact the pastor one year in advance to allow ample time for preparation and planning. (This is also a requirement of the Archdiocese of Toronto.)
Though the celebration of Marriage is a joyous celebration, we strongly suggest that the celebration of the sacrament of Marriage at the parish be kept as simple as possible. It is love and fidelity that is celebrated in the sacrament, not extravagance.
Founded by St. Paul of the Cross, every Passionist takes a special vow to spend his or her energies in promoting remembrance of the sufferings of Jesus, the memory of the Cross, and reflection of the meaning of the Cross for the world.
