Hope in Action Service ProjectsSt. Gabriel Hope in Action Service Events are one-time projects dedicated to bringing the hope and healing of Jesus right to others in our local community. Our projects serve the financially or food insecure, homeless, vulnerable, elderly, disenfranchised, or the environment. Each project varies in what we do, who we serve, who (what ages) can volunteer, and other details.

collaboration of serving others
There are many organizations in our local community that share our Catholic calling to "love thy neighbor." Below is a list of organizations registered with St. Gabriel as official "community collaborators." St. Gabriel offers a helping hand to their organizations to help them achieve a common goal of serving the vulnerable and those in need. These organizations and their activities are not organized directly by St. Gabriel, but we contribute in some way and encourage our parishioners to get involved with their efforts.
