your generous financial support.
TIME + TALENT + TREASURE
Stewardship
We offer our sincere thanks to all who are contributing in any
way to the building up of our parish community. On the weekend
of February 7-8, there were 523 worshippers. The regular
collection amounted to $7,855. 176 envelopes were presented
for an average of $41.95 per envelope donor.
The weekly collection goal for this fiscal year remains at
$10,000. Our average weekly collection is $8,750, which
includes e-giving. Thanks to all donors, who are helping us
reach our goal. We need and appreciate your support. May
God reward your generosity, which helps us meet our expenses,
save for our capital projects, and provide for our future.
We rely on your generous participation in our Sacrificial
Giving—Tithing Way of Christian Stewardship. Thank you for
doing your share to help build up your parish by giving of your
time, talent, treasure. Please give serious prayerful
consideration to participating in tithing, a spiritual way of
Church support, which entails contributing 5% (or as close as
you can come to this standard) of your weekly income as a sign
of giving back to the Lord in gratitude the first fruits of all with
which he has blessed you. He will provide for your needs and
will never be outdone in generosity.
Another stewardship standard for sharing financial resources is
to contribute weekly an hourly wage or compensation or its
equivalent. Trust in the Lord’s providence! Decide to be a
generous steward. You will be rewarded in many ways.
Electronic giving (or e-giving) is an optional way to support our
parish and its mission. Currently e-giving adds about $1500 to
our reported weekly collection. For more information, please
contact the Church Office or our parish website.
When away, please remember to make your needed and appreciated donations before or afterward. Thank you!
Stewardship is also expressed by giving of time and talent to
the Lord’s work in the parish. We have many ministries and
invite you to consider participating in at least one.

We are concluding the winter portion of Ordinary
Time in the Church’s liturgical year. This Wednesday
ushers in the Paschal cycle, the
Lenten-Easter season. In its
origins, Lent began as a season to
more intensely prepare
catechumens for the Easter
sacraments of Baptism,
Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist.
It was also a season for the
already initiated to prepare to renew their baptismal
commitment by the traditional works of Lent: prayer,
fasting, and almsgiving.
These are still worthwhile practices. Daily Mass is
certainly worth celebrating, if not every day, then one
or more days. On most Wednesdays, we will have
Mass at 7:30pm preceded by Stations of the Cross.
Ash Wednesday is a day of fast and abstinence from
meat. Fasting means eating only one full meatless
meal and not in between meals. The Fridays of Lent
are days of abstinence from meat. Almsgiving means
being sensitive and charitable especially to the poor
and needy.
Operation Rice Bowl neatly combines these three
traditional practices. They are available in the
vestibule by the pamphlet rack. The rack has many
good booklets on this special season of grace. See also
the special insert in today’s bulletin.
SAVE THE DATE
Our 26th annual spaghetti dinner will be held on
Sunday, February 22nd. Many volunteer helpers are
needed and wanted. High school students needing
service hours are welcome. Please check the poster
in the Narthex. Tickets are on sale for $10 after
Masses or from the Church Office.
Don’t miss this special parish event and community
builder, as well as enjoying a delicious home style
dinner suitable for all age groups!
PARISH CHOIR
Saint Gabriel Choir continues to invite all to join
in their ministry of leading and supporting our
sung praise of the Lord at our liturgies. Rehearsals
are held on Tuesday evenings from 7pm to 9pm at
Church. The choir is scheduled to lead the sung
worship once a month and also for special days.
For more information call or e-mail our choir
directors: Judy & Bob Boesch 570-401-7950 or
[email protected].
“He who sings, prays twice.” (St. Augustine)
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
This process introduces our Catholic faith to all who may be
interested in exploring this treasure. Non-Catholic inquirers,
returning Catholics and life-long Catholics who wish to know
more about our faith are welcome to participate. Committed
Catholics are also sought as team members. For more
information, telephone the Church Office at 610-268-0296. Sessions are held on Tuesdays at 7 pm in the Church Office
Conference Room.
CATHOLIC SCHOOL INFORMATION
Saint Gabriel parishioners may apply for admission of their children to Catholic schools in our area in the Philadelphia
Archdiocese,: especially Assumption, B.V.M. School, West
Grove, and Bishop Shanahan High School, Downingtown,
subject to their requirements as well as ours. Please contact
the principals: Mrs. Danielle White at Assumption School, 610869-9576 or Sister Maureen McDermott, IHM, at Bishop
Shanahan High School, 610-518-1300.
These schools are worth considering. Call the schools for more
information or to arrange for a tour or visit their websites.
Saint Gabriel parishioners who wish to register their child(ren)
at these schools must request a letter of sponsorship from our
parish. Our requirements for sponsorship are regular Sunday
Mass attendance at Saint Gabriel Church, participation in
parish life, and a minimum contribution to our Sunday
collection of $15.00 /week for the entire calendar year
(52 weeks) for one or more students from the same family.
This latter requirement is to help defray the $1,000.00 per student charge per year that Saint Gabriel parish pays in subsidies
to these parishes for each of our children, as well as the archdiocesan assessment for the support of Bishop Shanahan and the
other diocesan high schools.
These schools are currently enrolling students for next
school year.

The annual men’s spirituality conference will be held this year
at St. Joseph’ University Hagan Arena on Saturday, March 7th.

the 5pm Saturday Mass or at the 11:30 am Sunday

SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE

God’s grace.
HERITAGE OF FAITH—CONTINUING TO BUILD
GOD’S KINGDOM CAPITAL CAMPAIGN & PROJECT
Phase 2 of our building plans continues. This includes erecting a
much-needed religious education center, a small multi-use
chapel, and perhaps a bell tower or campanile at a later date.
We need and seek the support of all parishioners. You may
place donations and fulfill pledges by making use of the goldcolored envelopes found in your mailed monthly packet. Thank
you for your generosity.
We are presently pursuing plans to construct the multi-use
Chapel, one of the projects we can presently afford. We have
approximately $600,000 to apply to this project. Contingent
upon sufficient funds available in the future, we will address
the Religious Education Center project.
Many are continuing to fulfill their pledges. We are also
grateful to all who, although having completed their pledge,
continue to make donations.
Because of the generous stewardship of many parishioners
and friends of the parish, we have thus far built and furnished
our Church, the Church Office, and the Rectory, all of which
have been paid for.
All parish families who have not made a financial faith
promise or pledge are encouraged to do so. If you would like
more information, please contact the Church Office. Please
pray for the continued success of our campaign and project.
Please consider an end of year donation. Thank you.

down begged him and said, ‘If you wish, you can make me
clean.’ Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched
him, and said to him, ‘I do will it. Be made clean.’”
We read the psalms - praising, thanking, seeking forgiveness and
begging assistance. Our goal should be to make the psalmist’s
prayer our own. How important to turn to the Lord with great confidence whatever the circumstance, as we seek His joy and

It was with confidence that the leper approached the Lord, seemingly reminding Him of His ability to change his life. The words of

WORD OF LIFE
Father, all life is in your care. You have entrusted

of abortion.
We pray for those that are scheduled to die. Save
them from death.
Give new hope to their parents that they may turn
away from the desperate act of abortion.
Grant conversion to the abortionist and to the
staff.
Show us how we are to respond to the bloodshed
in our midst, and lead us to the day when this
place of death will be transformed into a haven for
life.
Guard us with your joy and peace for in you, life is
victorious. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Everyone deserves a birthday! Choose Life!
