Consider Using our Remote Parking

Easter is always our biggest day of year. Many guests come with their families or just to check out the church. Because of our large numbers, we have two Masses happening almost simultaneously. This causes our parking lots to fill quickly. Our hope is to give all of our parishioners and guests the best experience from the parking lot, to our welcome, and through the liturgy. We want everyone that walks through our doors to encounter Christ. 

In this spirit, we have set up a remote parking option at Obstacle Warrior Kids and Home Depot (located on Custer Rd.) and are asking our faithful to consider using these lots on Easter Sunday. This will allow space for our guests, hopefully even for those that show up right at the start of Mass.

We will have a bus shuttling you to St. Gabriel and back after Mass. You are welcome to drop off your family before Mass and then park in the remote lots. We truly appreciate you considering this option and sacrificing those coveted close parking spaces.

FASTING & ABSTINENCE GUIDELINES FOR LENT

The law of fasting permits one full meal and two lighter meals in the course of a day. Snacks between meals are not  permitted. The law of abstinence prohibits the eating of meat. (Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC] 1438, 2043). Fasting is observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all who have celebrated their 18 ^th birthday, but not their 60 ^th birthday.
Abstinence from meat is to be observed on Ash Wednesday, on all Fridays of Lent and on Good Friday by all who have celebrated their 14^th birthday.

Who is NOT obligated to Fast and Abstain during Lent? 

Pregnant women and people who suffer illness are not obligated to fast. Others who feel that they are not able to observe the laws of fasting and abstinence should consult with a parish priest. “Fasting and abstinence are forms of penance. These and other forms of penance can lead to interior change of the heart and spiritual growth.” (CCC 1434-1437)
