Catholic Identity

After following the Naming of Schools consultation process, St. Gabriel was chosen to be name of our school. The angel St. Gabriel serves as a messenger for God. St. Gabriel announced the good news to Mary, the Mother of God, saying, "Mary, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women." Luke 1:28. St. Gabriel helps teachers, writers and artists share their messages with clarity and meaning.

 

The staff and students of St. Gabriel will have many opportunities to pray and demonstrate their Catholic faith. These include school-wide and classroom liturgies, the collaboration with our Parish in the celebration of the Sacraments of First Eucharist and Reconciliation in grade two and the Sacrament of Confirmation in grade eight.
