Tuesday, March 11 – Fr. Gabriele M. White, Pastor at St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face
Fr. Gabriele would like to introduce you to the spirituality of his community: Work of Jesus the High Priest. Their particular charism is praying and offering in a special way for the sanctification of priests and priestly formation. The community is made up of about 300 priests, brothers, and apostolic sisters, sharing a common spirituality, shaped by love of Our Lady, a Eucharistic-priestly spirit and fidelity to the Holy Father. Depending on the need of the mission, the exterior form of their apostolate varies greatly, ranging from parish work; teaching in schools; pastoral care of children, teenagers, families and elderly, as well as other charitable efforts, especially in the missionary territories.
Fr. Gabriele M. White was born and raised in Denver, Colorado with his three brothers, the oldest of whom is also a priest in the same community: Work of Jesus the High Priest – Family of Mary. Following a few missionary experiences in Russia with this community in the 90s, he joined in 1995 following his high school graduation. In 2007, he was appointed rector of their seminary in Rome where he remained until being transferred to the Archdiocese of Portland in June of 2023.
