For emergency anointing, call 704-502-4161.   For non-emergency anointing, please schedule a time through Deacon Michael Goad.

Annointing of the Sick  is offered the first Saturday of the month (except November) after the 5:00 pm Mass

We are resuming limited visits to our senior adult communities (dependent on the community's restrictions).  Contact Deacon Michael Goad to schedule a visit.

We invite you to join us in making a Spiritual Communion in the absence of personal visits.  

Nearly one in four of us has a family member struggling with mental health issues.  Mental illness strikes regardless of income level, gender, age, or ethnicity.  So many families suffer in silence.  During these times of personal darkness, our faith community can be an important source of support.   If you are worried about a loved one, talk to them.  Find tips here. 

St. Gabriel Church is committed to mental health and wellness.  We provide educational resources, programs, and connections to qualified help.  Watch our parish media for information.
