As we come to the conclusion of our fifth year together as Archangel Gabriel Parish, it seems appropriate to celebrate with a keepsake of memories of our coming together as one Catholic community. Each one of us has been a part of it, whether coming to Mass on Sunday, participating in one of our many ministries or activities, or simply praying on your own that we all may be one. In that vein, we'd like to invite everyone to sign up to have their picture taken to be included in our AGP 5th Anniversary Yearbook. While not a directory, per se, of the entire parish, we've found in years past that it helps put names to faces and faces to names and is a wonderful memory of people and events we've all appreciated and enjoyed. But it won't be complete without you!

While the portraits will be taken by professional photographers, you decide the "tone" of your portrait by choosing formal clothing, casual attire, or even themed clothing, to best reflect your family's style. You can invite extended family for a multi-generational photograph (let us know if you have a large group), and you may also bring pets or props to best capture you or your family.

Everyone who has a picture taken will receive a free 8x10 portrait that will be delivered before Christmas, as well as a free yearbook. You'll also have the opportunity to purchase additional portraits for family and friends if you so desire. 

There are three ways you can schedule a sitting for your photograph:

1. Go to www.ucdir.com and click the PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION SIGN-UP tab. The Code is pa1204 and the Password is photos.
2. Visit one of the sign-up tables before or after Mass. These tables will be in place about every other week in the weeks to come.
3. Call the Parish Office at 412-787-2140, ext. 100, or Deacon Tim at 412-787-1472.

To the right are the dates and places you can get your pictures taken. We've included the week of Thanksgiving (but not Thanksgiving itself) for people who have kids in college or elsewhere who will be home for the holiday so they can be included in the fun.
