The June 2025 edition of our newsletter, The Treehouse, shouts out many of the amazing fathers of Gabriel Homes.
Dads can play vital roles in empowering our residents to live and succeed independently. Join us in celebrating them in the Father’s Day edition in our June 2025 newsletter!
The Latest:
In the May edition of our newsletter, we spoke with some of our residents’ moms about family traditions. But not all residents’ parents are with us today. This Father’s Day, residents shared their favorite memories with their dads so family legacies could live on.

Sara chases thrills when the family travels. At Universal Studios in Orlando, she spent endless hours in Harry Potter World, her favorite book and movies series.

Community Corner:
Knights of Columbus and Extended Family
The Family of Man Council in Reston reflects brothers’ commitment to their families. Some brothers who are fathers see the Knights as extended family.
“Brothers do good for their families when they form support groups, open up to each other, and pray for others.”
-Bob Balog, brother of the Knights of Columbus
Board Spotlight
Many of you know him as Father Bob. Reverend Monsignor Bob Cilinski joined the Gabriel Homes board of directors in 1990 and helped usher us into strength and stability in his 33 years of service. Seeing the residents live their dreams was Fr. Bob’s favorite achievement on the board.
“We wanted to do everything we could to provide independence to more families.”
