Saint Cecilia Parish July 29, 2018 The 2018 festival is in the books. We had to battle Mother Nature a little, but we all came together in a great way. Thanks to our chairs, Doug and Joy, everyone who helped set up and take down, the booth workers, all those who donated items, and everyone who came and enjoyed this wonderful event. Amen!

E ASTSIDE FAITH 6 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. 1 Corinthians 16:13 A Summer with the Saints SAINT GABRIEL OF OUR LADY OF SORROWS ~ PATRON OF CLERICS Gabriel was born in Assisi on March 1, 1838, the eleventh of thirteen children. He was devoted to the pleasures of the world, but, guided by Our Lady into the Passionist Order, he became a true apostle of her sorrows. There was nothing extraordinary about him except his faithfulness to prayer, his love of sacrifice, and his joyful spirit. At the age of twenty-three, just as he was finishing his studies for the priesthood, he was stricken with tuberculosis, and died a year later at Isola on February 27, 1862. There were no miraculous events in his life, but after his death many miracles occurred at his tomb. He is called St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows because of his great love for Mary suffering with her Son. Remembering Jesus and Mary in their sufferings made Gabriel all the more generous in proving his love. Imitate this youthful saint by thinking frequently of the sorrows of Mary, that through her motherly care you may reach holiness and save your soul. O God, You taught St. Gabriel to dwell upon the sorrows of Your most sweet Mother, and raised him to the glory of holiness and miracles. Grant that we may also share her sorrows and be saved by her protection. Becoming Catholic Curious about the Church? Want to learn more? Call us today at 513-871-5757, ext. 215.
