Save the Date, Wednesday, April 24 at 6:30 p.m. for a Middle School & High School Fair:

Families with children in grades 3 to 8 are welcome to join us. The event will feature a brief presentation by our middle school teachers, insights from alumni on their high school transition and middle school experience at St. Gabriel, and a chance to connect with representatives from public and private high schools in the area. Light refreshments will be served.

Auction Update:

Thank you so much for supporting our auction on February 10, 2024. We are so grateful for your presence, participation, and generosity. We wanted to take this opportunity to announce the financial results that will help to support our parish mission of providing a faith-based comprehensive education.

Together, we raised more than $162,000 for our school!!!

We were also able to fully fund the school’s requirement for building security upgrades. Thank you, thank you, thank you! This tremendous achievement demonstrates the amazing level of Christian Stewardship that is alive and thriving within our parish and school community.

This event would not have been possible without the countless people who have volunteered their time, our auction committee, the St. Gabriel faculty and staff, attendees, bidders, and our extremely generous sponsors and donors.

Please save the date for next year’s Parish & School Auction on Saturday, March 1, 2025. We can’t wait to see you there!

School Receptionist/Administrative Assistant Needed:

Since our beloved Mrs. Fassbender is retiring at the end of this school year, we have begun searching to fill her position. The complete job posting can be found HERE or on the Archdiocese website under careers. If you know of anyone who is qualified and may be interested, please send them our way. Thank You!

2024-2025 School Calendar:

Please see the link below for the 2024-2025 school year calendar. Next school year, our Christmas break is a little longer and spring break times are a little different than usual. This is because Christmas falls on a Wednesday this year and Easter is very late (April 20th).
