He was the angel who appeared to Zachariah to announce the birth of St. John the Baptizer. Finally, he announced to Mary that she would bear a Son Who would be conceived of the Holy Spirit, Son of the Most High, and Saviour of the world. The feast day is September 29th. St. Gabriel is the patron of communications workers.
PRAYER TO SAINT GABRIEL
O God, from the ranks of all the angels, You chose the Archangel Gabrielle to announce the mystery of Your Incarnation. Grant that we, who honor Him on earth, may experience the effects of his patronage in heaven. Amen.
