Our Parish and School Emblem
The traditional symbols depicting St. Gabriel in art and illustration
are the shield, the spear and the lily. The letters A and M refer
to St. Gabriel’s greeting to Mary.
In Latin this greeting is Ave Maria – Hail, Mary. The
name Gabriel means God is strength.
Our parish motto God is Strength speaks of our trust in God’s
power, mercy and love, and our firm conviction that all things are
possible through faith in God.
