The St. Gabriel’s Memory Book is a celebration of the former mission church of St. Gabriel Archangel in what is now the Township of Greater Madawaska in Renfrew County.

The first section records the history of this church and its people, from the coming of the pioneer priest, Father John McNulty, in 1843 to the building of St. Gabriel’s in 1854, through to its closing in 1952.

Section two contains many personal memories of former parishioners and their descendants.

Section three honours the people who lie at rest in the beautiful little graveyard surrounding the church, with its view of the mighty Madawaska River.
