This is what you are looking for

Like most of you who landed in this page, I was looking for the webpage of the Saint Gabriel Parish. Was running late one night and wanted to confirm the last Mass schedule because a delayed mass the previous week got me a bit confused. Googled for the schedule and telephone numbers but found none. Missed mass that time.

Will try to post information here related to our parish. Maybe other parishioners can do the same. Am actually crossing my fingers that the students and graduates of Saint Gabriel Academy can help collect information about Saint Gabriel, our church and the community.

We can all use this as a temporary page for important announcements as we help plan and create a complete website.

Thank you so much. God Bless!

Trivia: Ash Wednesday is technically 40 days before Easter

Checked the calendar thrice but i count 46 days from Ash Wednesday to before Easter Sunday. Did I miss something?



Lent is six weeks. We prepare for Easter by praying, fasting, abstaining, cleansing ourselves for the coming of Jesus.

Remove the six sundays, and its 40. So, sundays are not counted because they are considered days of celebration.

I wonder whats special with the number 40? It came out several times in the bible, starting from the 40days and 40 nights of Noah.
