Since 1950, the city of Hopkins has had two parishes: St. John the Evangelist (in the Interlachen Park neighborhood) and St. Joseph (on Mainstreet). In 2013, those parishes merged under the name of St. Gabriel the Archangel. A decade later, all parish activities were moved to the St.
Joseph campus on Mainstreet, and the St. John the Evangelist campus in Interlachen Park was sold. St. Gabriel is proud to have a K-8 regional grade school called Notre Dame Academy, located on the campus of Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM) in Minnetonka. St. Gabriel is also home to Chesterton Academy, a joyfully Catholic, classical high school, located on its Mainstreet campus. In addition to its active English-speaking community, St. Gabriel boasts a vibrant Latino community that has a flourishing faith formation program, special cultural events, and Mass in Spanish every Sunday. As of 2024, the parish is in the process of renovating its lovely campus and facilities in the heart of downtown Hopkins
