Dear Parish Family,

This Sunday, the Catholic world celebrates 100 years of World Mission Sunday. Established by Pope Pius XI in 1926, this Sunday is dedicated to supporting missionary work through prayer, sacrifice, and financial contribution. To mark the 100th anniversary of World Mission Sunday, Pope Leo XIV chose the theme: “One in Christ, united in Mission,” to remind and encourage Catholics to recommit themselves to their baptismal call to be missionaries. This is a special opportunity for Catholics throughout the world to unite in prayer and support for the Church’s missionary work. St. Pope John Paul II describes World Mission Sunday as “an important day in the life of the Church because it teaches how to give: as an offering made to God, in the Eucharistic celebration and for all the missions of the world.”

The missionary work of every baptized Christian begins in the domestic church: the home, where we practice and model our faith on a daily basis. Our mission to evangelize is predicated on our identity and vocation as Christians in such a way that authentic discipleship calls us to preach the gospel with our lives, and use words, if necessary. I encourage you to pray for missionaries, make a personal sacrifice, and give generously to the World Mission Sunday collection. We may not all be called to travel to places outside of our own, or overseas, but we can all be missionaries through our prayers, generosity, and love.

Blessings,
Fr. Eugene

NEED A ROSARY REPAIRED??

The Rosary Makers ministry at St. Gabriel will be in the Bishop Kelly center in the lobby after the morning Masses on October 18 (tomorrow!). Don't let a broken chain or missing bead keep you from your prayers. Bring your cherished broken rosaries to the parish hall lobby to be repaired.

If your interested in making rosaries, the Rosary Makers meet every first Thursday of the month from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon at the Bishop Kelly Center.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who helped welcome Fr. Eugene's bishop from Nigeria, His Eminence Peter Ebere Cardinal Okpaleke, during his brief stopover at St. Gabriel. Special thanks to Bob Smolen, who coordinated so much of the planning and helped make it a memorable experience. Cardinal Peter was so impressed with the planning behind the liturgy and the reception.

His Eminence shared his inspiring vision of caring for both vulnerable young and elderly people in his diocese. His motto, “Catch them young and keep them for Christ,” speaks to the importance of forming children in the faith from an early age and helping them develop a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ. There is much we can learn from his commitment to building communities where faith is nurtured, the vulnerable are cared for, and people are welcomed into the love of Christ. He specifically asked for prayers for the fruitfulness of his ministry and offered prayers and gratitude for St. Gabriel's gracious hospitality.

And thanks to Bryan Fabian for these great photos!
