Sister Gabriel Mary Riddle, CPS, recently informed the pastoral council of her intention to retire for reasons of health and age effective August 1, 2023. For the past eight years, Sister Gabriel has been an essential member of the parish team, serving as the parish’s pastoral associate. Her ministry has involved bereavement ministry, spiritual direction, faith formation, retreats, work with the Social Justice Committee, and coordinating essential aspects of the parish’s Winter Welcome Table outreach that provides a meal for many in our community. The parish community is profoundly grateful to Sister Gabriel for all that she has been and done for our community. We pray that as she begins this new stage of her journey, the Lord will continue to bless her and keep her in his care.

The parish will host a social in the auditorium to celebrate Sister Gabriel following the 11:15 am Sunday Mass on August 13, 2023.

May God bless Sister Gabriel with a happy and healthy retirement for many years to come!
