A MESSAGE FROM THE ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY

2011-12-07T11:00:00.000-08:00

Dear Sisters and Brothers, in last week’s gospel Jesus
told us to be watchful for His presence in our lives
each day. We are watchful and perceive His presence in the
generous giving of food for our pantry on Thanksgiving Day
and by the children of the School of Religion and Holy Angels
School. We also received food from the children at Our Lady of
Perpetual Help School and paper towels from Falcon Industrial
Supply. Our thanks go out to everyone who supports us. You
are doing God’s work.

The Giving Tree is up in the vestibule. Please take an ornament
and bring back a gift card for those in need this year.
This will brighten their Christmas. What you do for them you do
for Christ.

The Saint Vincent de Paul Society

Target gift cards for Christmas for families with babies and

Please take one Angel from our Gift Giving Tree in the vestiblule of the church
and return it with a gift card by Friday, December 9, 2011 for St.
Vincent de Paul, and by Friday noon, December 23, 2011

Thank you for your generosity.

Stations of the Cross

2011-03-02T11:46:00.000-08:00

The traditional Lenten devotion of the
“Stations of the Cross” is held every Friday
during Lent at 8:00 am after the 7:30 Mass and
6:15 pm after the 5:45 Mass. Spanish Stations
are also on Friday at 7:00 pm.

Introduced by St. Francis of Assisi during the Middle Ages,
the “Stations” has been one of the traditional ways we can
enhance and intensify our prayer life during Lent. It is
certainly a pleasing offering to God for our intentions.

Ash Wednesday and Lent

2011-03-02T11:40:00.001-08:00

ASH WEDNESDAY MARCH 9TH
Ashes will be distributed during the 7:30 am, 8:45
(School Mass) and 5:45 pm Masses, (no
ashes after Mass) and also during the 7:30 pm
Spanish Mass (no ashes after Mass).

Abstinence: Everyone fourteen years of
age and older is bound to abstain from meat
on ASH WEDNESDAY, the FRIDAYS OF
LENT and GOOD FRIDAY.

Fast Everyone eighteen years of age and older but under
the age of sixty is also bound to fast on ASH WEDNESDAY
and GOOD FRIDAY. When health or ability to work would
be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. In the spirit of
penance, the faithful should not lightly excuse themselves
from this obligation.

Our new Handicapp Rails for the Hall

2010-06-08T11:13:00.000-07:00

We would like to convey our appreciation
to Mr. Leo Gomez of Ornamental
Iron Works in San Francisco and his crew
for the professional installation of the galvanized iron hand
railing outside our parish hall. We would also like to thank
Frank Hernandez for initiating the contact with Mr. Gomez
to replace the old wood railing. The hand railing is well
built and will assist those using the walkway. Thank you
for your gifts of time, talent and treasure. May God continue
to bless you for your generosity.

Father's Message for the Archbishops Annual Appeal

2010-02-28T08:43:00.001-08:00

Father's Message for the Archbishops Annual Appeal

My Dear Parishioners and Friends of Holy Angels Parish,

The yearly launching of the Archdiocesan Annual Appeal in our Parish begins in the Season of Lent. During this Season of Prayer and Fasting, I invite you to reflect on how we can also make our offerings and sacrifices concrete and meaningful as we respond to the various works and programs that our Archdiocese is attending to. As we all know, it is only through the support of the parishes in the Archdiocese that these different works and programs are attainable and made possible.

As always, the Archdiocese of San Francisco is ever grateful to the parishioners of Holy Angels Church for your generous support and contribution to the Archdiocesan Annual Appeal. As a parish, we have reached the goal of our last year’s assessment and completed the amount of 61,116.

Even in this time of economic crisis, I believe that our faith is more determined to reach out to the help of the needy. For this year 2010, our assessment is 63,600.

Your pledge to the AAA will certainly give the Archdiocese the assurance and confidence to minister and serve the needs of the Local Church.

I therefore thank you for your unending support for the Archdiocese as well as the parish. May God bless you all!

Sincerely,

Fr. Manuel Curso
