Venerable Matt Talbot
Did you know that St.Gabriel Parish has a shrine to
Venerable Matt Talbot
Who was Matt Talbot?
LIFE OF MATT TALBOT
Matt, like so many other children of his time, did not avail himself of the opportunity for education offered by the new emerging Religious Orders. His school attendance was sporadic.
He was eleven years old when he undertook a crash course in religious knowledge and what was then known as `the Three Rs’ but he was not a diligent student. In fact, the roll book of the Christian Brothers School in North Richmond Street where he attended for a year noted that he `mitched’ during much of his time there.
He had no interest in sport, literature, the arts, or music. Lacking education, he frequently stole and was rough-spoken. He was destined to join the countless number of unskilled laborers who drank heavily while attending to the externals of their religion by attending Mass on Sundays.
LIGHT A CANDLE FOR YOUR INTENTION
If anyone would like to light a candle by the Shrine of Matt Talbot for the intention of healing for family, friends or loved ones. Please send your intention to rectory@stgabes.org. A voluntary donation is welcomed.
Come visit the shrine dedicated to
Venerable Matt Talbot
in St. Gabriel Church.
It is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from
9:00 AM– 6:00 PM
Hours and Devotions
The Shrine is open Tuesdays and Thursdays following 8:30 AM Mass until 6:00 PM
On the 3rd Tuesday of each month we have a Matt Talbot Holy Hour followed by Mass
We begin with the Angelus and introductory prayers at 6:00 PM. The Blessed Sacrament is then exposed until 6:45 PM. During exposition confessions will be heard. At 6:45 PM we pray our Matt Talbot Benediction prayers. Mass will follow shortly after Benediction. If you cannot attend in person, follow the shrine on Facebook and you can watch live!
