The tremendous generosity of our parishioners and supporters allowed us to build the St. Gabriel Catholic School & Formation Center in 2018. This facility has allowed us to support the mission of our 4K – 8th grade school, religious education, youth ministry, and adult faith formation ministries. This beautiful space has enabled us to expand additional ministries such as the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program, funeral luncheons, OWLS group, parish speakers, auction, holiday boutique, and more. 

All contributions to this campaign will be used to reduce the remaining debt from our 2018 campus expansion. Only by achieving our challenge goal will we eliminate the entire balance. Your contributions will help us achieve even greater financial strength and aid us in continuing to expand and fulfill our parish mission. At the conclusion of this campaign, a donor recognition wall will be created to mark the generosity of those who contributed to our current and previous capital campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Are We Conducting this Campaign? 

The Many Parts, One Body Campaign and building project was conducted in 2016-2019. Through the amazing generosity of our parish family, we were able to build our School & Formation Center. After construction was completed, we were left with $3 million in debt. We had planned a debt reduction campaign however the Covid pandemic halted our plans. Despite not having a formal campaign to reduce that debt we have still been able to lower that amount to $2.1 million. What amazing generosity and stewardship! We now want to eliminate this debt so that our financial future can look even brighter. 

Why Should I Care About Our School & Formation Center if I no longer have children there? 

Our parish school is our largest ministry and provides for the formation of our parish’s future congregation and our community’s future leaders. This school year we have achieved a record enrollment of 143 students. This building is also used by many of our other parish ministries. We have launched a new women’s ministry that brings together more than 40 women each week in the parish hall. The popular Holiday Boutique has been able to expand from 30 to 76 vendors. Our Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program is excelling and bringing so many children to Jesus. 

Why Does my Money Have to go to the Archdiocese first? 

All 188 parishes are taking part in parish “waves” from summer 2021 to mid-2024. Every individual and family in the Archdiocese will be asked to prayerfully consider making their best campaign pledge. The Archdiocese is taking on the administrative responsibilities involved with a campaign of this size. This is a great benefit to our parish as we will not incur the financial costs and lost staff hours of processing and managing these payments for the next three years.  

How Can I Help Our Campaign be Successful? 

1. To join in fervent prayer for the success of this campaign.
2. To spread the good news about what is happening at Saint Gabriel.
3. To financially support this campaign as generously as you can.
