Dear Friends,
Please pray for our parish Evangelization Team and the ALPHA pilot program that began last week. To do a “test run” of this program, which is at the heart of the Archdiocesan Renew My Church Evangelization effort, members of our Evangelization team invited about 30 parishioners to participate in this trial run. This will hopefully help us to develop a model that is suited for our parish and those we seek to engage when we move forward with it in the Winter/Spring.

Next Saturday is Rock the Block, on our Nativity of Our Lord campus, sponsored by BCA’s Home and School Association. All are welcome- adults and kids alike, from our entire parish. I have heard great things about this event, which had to be canceled the past two years because of COVID. Details are in the bulletin and on the BCA website.
By now I hope that all our registered parish households have received the State of the Parish newsletter that was sent out through the mail. If you did not receive it, we have copies available in each church and in the parish offices. You can also view it via the parish website www.nativitystgabriel.org I think it is interesting to review some of the highlights of the past year, see statistics about parish life and ministry, and examine the financial performance of our parish and school operations. If you are not yet formally registered in the parish, I invite you to register. This can also be done via the parish website, or by stopping into the parish offices at Nativity or the rectory office at Saint Gabriel.
​
May your week reflect the encounter with Christ
we experienced at Mass today!ere to edit.
