WE LOVE OUR DADS!
Father's Day - June 20
Loving God, as we ask you to bless all those you have called to share the special gift of fatherhood, we ask also that you help them to see the unique blessing that you call them to be in the eyes of their children. May St. Joseph, who taught Jesus to call you "Abba" (daddy), help all fathers to embrace this same privilege. Amen

WELCOME OUR NEW EVANGELIZATION COORDINATOR
Alexia Maliakal
Hello, my name is Alexia. I’m from Murphy and went to college at Boston University. There, I studied Biology and Philosophy. While at school, I encountered Jesus Christ in a personal way and had a strong desire to share this truth with others. I then became a missionary with FOCUS, the Fellowship of Catholic University Students. I served as a missionary in New England for four years and witnessed beautiful conversions and transformations of the hearts and minds of many college students. The Lord then invited me on a different adventure, a little closer to home, at St. Gabriel as the Evangelization Coordinator I’m happy to be near my older brother and parents, and to get to know many of you here!
