Pastor's Pen
Dear Friends and Visitors, I am delighted to welcome you at our “digital front door”, our parish website. For over 70 years, residents of Fern Creek, Highview, Buechel and Jeffersontown have been about the good work of working, playing and praying out our parish mission and contemplating the future of Saint Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Parish. We are glad to have you join us on the front end of the next 60 years. What you see now, before you, is the good fruit of those efforts. This is the “map” and “tool” by which our parish can communicate the good news and the great grace alive here. Saint Gabriel the Archangel Parish is a place of rich history and vast potential. Our parishioners form one body comprised of both city and country, the United States and other lands, young and old. Seekers are drawn to this holy place to PRAISE GOD, PROCLAIM the good news, SERVE others and BUILD community. Come grow with us here, WHERE THE SPIRIT SOARS!
