In the December 2025 edition of Gabriel Homes’ monthly newsletter, The Treehouse, we look back on how our residents and community went above and beyond this year.
See the generosity from Route 7 Brewing when they catered a Thanksgiving dinner for our residents, check out photos of our residents from a recent trip to D.C., and see how Father Gerry Creedon played a critical role in the creation of Gabriel Homes today. Dive into all this and more in the December 2025 edition of our monthly newsletter, The Treehouse.
Last month, our residents enjoyed their pre-Thanksgiving tradition catered by Route 7 Brewing, who were proud to celebrate their independence. AND, a surprise guest joined the party to cap off the night!
See the recap with photos from Thanksgiving at gabrielhomes.org.
How Fr. Gerry Creedon Put Faith Into Action
Gabriel Homes began with a simple belief: that adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities deserve independent, dignified lives. Father Gerry Creedon, then director of Catholic Charities, helped turned that vision into reality. With Catholic Charities laying the financial groundwork, Gabriel Homes was founded in 1982.
Why 2025 Was One of Angie’s Best Years to Date
Angie achieved it all in 2025! She’s been a leader among residents in staying up-to-date with responsibilities, and she’s gotten praise from her supervisors for her work ethic. You can find Angie out and about more than ever going into 2026!
In celebration of those who served our country, Rich, Sam, Stephen, Sean, and Daniel (first photo, pictured left to right) visited our nation’s capital. Everyone was in awe of the city’s landmarks, and the group enjoyed the fresh air far more than lounging around at home.
Every Day Is Christmas at Gabriel Homes
The season of joy lasts all year with John. Listening to the tracks from his extensive Christmas CD collection could fill months with holiday spirit on its own.
John brought the holiday spirit when he sang “The First Noel” earlier this year!
Board Spotlight
Elaine Bickel, Leslie Kane, Gary Le Francois, and Jack Mannion (pictured in order) announced they will finish their service on the Board of Directors at the end of 2025. With 36+ years of combined service, the four leaders helped drive the strategy for Gabriel Homes’ growth, modernize its policies as it grew, and, most importantly, met the changing needs of our residents.
