This weekend we celebrate Priesthood Sunday. We are incredibly grateful for our shepherds, Fr. Don and Fr. Barth, and all that they do for us at St. Gabriel. At Mass this weekend, you will be able to pick up prayer cards in the narthex to help remind you to pray for them.
DONATE TO THE TURKEY BASKET PROGRAM
Help those in need have a great Thanksgiving meal
This year marks the 21st anniversary of the St. Gabriel Men’s Club Turkey Basket Program, a special program that has been providing Thanksgiving meal packages to economically challenged families throughout Collin County. Last year, we provided meals for over 600 families. This year, we anticipate that number to increase and we are counting on your generosity more than ever!
