Catholic Church celebrates feast of Saint Michael, Saint Gabriel, and Saint Raphael
First source report
The Catholic Church celebrates the feast of the archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael on Monday, September 29.
The liturgical celebration for these three figures was established on September 29 during the 1969 liturgical reform. The Church honors the archangels according to ancient tradition, noting their roles in salvation history and the spiritual lives of Christians.
Scripture identifies each archangel with specific roles. Michael, whose name means "Who is like God," is described as a prince who defends the children of the people of God. Gabriel, meaning "Strength of God," was chosen to announce a mystery to Mary. Raphael, meaning "Medicine of God," is recognized as a healer and a companion to Tobias.
