THE OPENING OF THE EUCHARISTIC RENEWAL IN THE ARCHDIOCESE AND AT ST. GABRIEL PARISH
The Bishops of the United States have initiated a three-year Eucharistic Revival,
"to renew the Church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ, in the Holy Eucharist." The Eucharistic Revival has a three-fold approach:
(1.) First, foster excellence, dignity, and devotion in the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass;
(2.) Second, teach of the faithful (intentional catechesis) on the reality of Christ ever present in the Holy Eucharist; and
(3.) Third, cultivate a deeper devotion to and love of the Lord in the Holy Eucharist, through Holy Hours, Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament, and a renewal of the 40 Hours Devotion.
At St. Gabriel Parish we are focused on offering Mass in a spirit of reverence and devotion, treating the Liturgy with the dignity it deserves, and doing all we can to enhance the beauty and spiritually enriching experience for all who join us at Mass. In sermons and on social media, we intentionally do all we can, to develop the faith of all our people. Finally, we are re-introducing the 40 Hours Devotion, beginning on St. Gabriel Sunday, October 2nd, and concluding with Vespers, on Tuesday, October 4th.
The Holy Eucharist and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass are the "source and summit" of our worship, faith, and relationship with Almighty God. Over the next three years the Church is committed to rediscovering the treasures of God's grace and life in the Holy Eucharist.
I invite you to accompany us on this journey of faith at St. Gabriel Parish!
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Francis P. Foley

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
On 19 September 1853, Charlie Talbot, aged thirty, married Elizabeth Bagnall, in her late teens, in Clontarf Church, Dublin. Both came from a working-class background where poverty and excessive use of alcohol were prevalent. These were the years immediately after the Great Famine when people struggled just to survive. Charlie and Elizabeth were parents to twelve children, nine of whom survived beyond infancy.
Their second child, Matthew, was born on 2 May 1856. Matt’s parents were good people who passed on a very solid faith to their children. The Talbot family was noted for their honesty and practice of the faith. While poor in the eyes of this world, they were rich in their love for God. Charlie was a good worker whose only weakness was that he drank too much, with inevitable consequences for his poor family. They lived at eighteen different addresses over a period of forty-one years. Through all their difficulties, the family prayed the Rosary together each day.
