Behold the Angels Among Us

Contemplemos a los ángeles entre nosotros

Dear Parishioners,

We are celebrating the Feast of Our Lady of Angels once again this weekend. Many of you have already contributed to the preparations and supported the event by sponsoring it or making donations. As you may know, we are asking each household to donate $50 to the parish in return for a pin featuring our newest parish logo (see attached picture). We will also give our benefactors a small Christmas ornament from the celebration of the 50th anniversary of our parish back in 2009, as long as we have them in stock. I apologize in advance if they have all been given away by the time you read this, as they have been in high demand.

The parish festival provides an opportunity to strengthen our Marian devotion by praying the Holy Rosary together and fostering a sense of community. It is also an opportunity to make a lasting difference to our campus by funding a small but meaningful improvement. This year, I have identified one special item: an artistic triptych to enhance our Adoration Chapel by placing it behind the monstrance. The blue color reminds us of the presence of Mary and the angels surrounding our Eucharistic Lord. We can better imagine the many invisible angels who are also present in the Adoration Chapel, adoring Jesus Christ with us.

I also wanted to provide an update on the new roof for the church. The diocese has granted approval, the design is complete, and installation is moving forward. We have a construction meeting scheduled for August 3 to finalize all the details and review the timeline. Along with this good news, we are also going to install gutters and new landscaping in the Adoration Chapel as soon as we finish engraving the remaining stones and pavers.

Please help our parish by becoming a family sponsor of the Festival!

God bless you!

Fr. Álvaro
