Message from Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

St. Gabriel Catholic Parish

My dearest people closest to my heart!

I am extremely delighted to let you know that next year 2027, we will be celebrating the 60th anniversary of the establishment of our church. What a joy and what a blessing!

We will be starting our celebration this year March 24th, 2026.

Our Auxiliary Bishop Enrique, will be here to kick start the celebration. We will have first blessing of the groundbreaking ceremony in front of the church for the building of the church tower (about 53 feet tall) in commemoration of the momentous event and following that ceremony will be a Mass. Hence may I request your one hundred participation and collaboration. In view of the, innumerable events are in the planning process. Let us all do it together and build up our relationship with each other.

As we are also preparing ourselves for Easter, I am extremely delighted to tell you that there are a lot of people for confession; that makes me really happy. I am happy for you all. Please keep up the good work. In preparation for Easter, we will have confessions on March 19th and 20th which are Thursday and Friday right after the 8:00 a.m. Mass. Priests from outside the parish will minister to that so may I request you to make good use of the opportunity. We will have confessions before Holy Week in the evening. Please remember WE WILL NOT HAVE ANY CONFESSIONS DURING HOLY WEEK. It will be too much for one priest to minister during Holy Week. God has not given me bilocation.

Please make good use of these opportunities in any of these days

Lot of love, blessings and prayers to you all

Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan
