FROM THE PASTOR
My dear parishioners,
This weekend is the 25th anniversary of the first regular Mass celebrated at St. Gabriel. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the founding families that got everything started. They banded together to petition the diocese for a new parish to begin in west McKinney. They took the initiative to invite everyone in the area to attend the new Catholic community. They followed the promptings of the Spirit and really lived the Great Commission of Jesus to go out and make disciples. God blessed their efforts and the little community grew into the spiritual home we enjoy today.
We will be celebrating our Silver Anniversary at all Masses this weekend followed by a simple reception. Please come and join us in thanking God for the gift of our community, united in the hope of Christ.
God bless you all,
Fr. Don

DIOCESAN GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY MASS
Are you celebrating 50 or more years of marriage?
CAMP FUSION WAS A BLAST!!
We hope to see you at Mass this weekend. We will welcome our new parochial vicar, Fr. Bartholemew and say goodbye to our summer seminarian, Eugene. It's been a month of changes, but we thank God for all His good gifts. We will also celebrate the past 25 years of being a parish family.
Also, you may have heard that Bishop Burns has restored the obligation to attend Sunday Mass and Holy Days of Obligation beginning August 15. You can read more about it HERE. Have a blessed weekend.
