NOTE: This information was sent to the email distribution list provided to us by the MACS office. They provided one email address per family.
January 20, 2021
St. Gabriel Catholic Church families,
Greetings! Our parish is grateful to support you in the commitment your family has made to Catholic education. We have 600+ parish families and more than 1,000 students attending Catholic school this year. As I shared with you by email last week, we are revising our criteria for receiving the MACS "Participating Catholic" tuition discount. I believe you will welcome the changes. In speaking with a number of you, I know we share the desire for a relationship that is transformational - not transactional. Relationship is the focus of our new process. In lieu of an in-person meeting, please:-
Watch the 15 minute video message below. I ask both parents to do so.

BY THIS TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, print, complete, and return our new "Commitment Card" to the church. Form is linked below. See drop-off locations and the church mailing address on the 2nd page of the form and in the FAQs below.
It is my prayer that you experience the fullness of life in Christ here as a parishioner of St. Gabriel Catholic Church.
Peace and joy in Christ,
Fr. Richard
Pastor, St. Gabriel Catholic Church -

No. Sorry, we're going old-school with this form, primarily because of the confidentiality of the information shared. Forms must be dropped off or mailed to the church. We know that this is a minor inconvenience and appreciate your help. Fr. Richard will be reviewing 600 forms. Thank you for facilitating this work!
