IT’S NOT TOO LATE FOR THE ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL There is still time to contribute to this year’s Annual Catholic Appeal. Queen of Angels is participating in a Debt Reduction Program with the Archdiocese that is a win-win proposition. For every dollar pledged and donated to the Annual Catholic Appeal in the name of Queen of Angels, the Archdiocese will match us. That’s a dollar for dollar match. A 200 percent return on every dollar contributed.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and we need to make the most of it. If we all work together on this, we can reap the benefits of seeing our boiler debt paid off and our Wish List of Capital Expenditures (including lots of needed repairs and maintenance) get underway. Our unsung ministries to individuals and the community may continue. Please, prayerfully consider a donation. This can be spread out over five months if necessary. Now, more than ever, Queen of Angels needs you. Your sacrifice will make a difference in the life of the parish.
If you have already given to the ACA this year, simply send in your additional contribution to the Annual Catholic Appeal (envelopes are still available in church and at the Parish Center) or place in an envelope marked “Annual Catholic Appeal” and drop in the collection. Thank you and God bless.
“...they left everything and followed Him.” — Luke 5:11
“...abandonaron todo y lo siguieron.” — Lucas 5:11
¡NO ES MUY TARDE! No es muy tarde para contribuir a la Campaña Católica Anual. Reina de los Ángeles está participando en un Programa de Reducción de Deudas con la Arquidiócesis que es una proposición ganadora. Por cada dólar prometido y donado a la Campaña Católica Anual a nombre de Reina de los Ángeles, la Arquidiócesis donará una cantidad igual. Es un rendimiento del 100 por ciento en cada dólar contribuido.
Esta es una oportunidad que llega una vez en la vida y necesitamos sacarle el mayor provecho. Si todos trabajamos juntos en esto, podemos cosechar los beneficios de ver la deuda de nuestro calentador de agua pagada y nuestra Lista de Proyectos de los Gastos de Capital (incluyendo muchas reparaciones necesarias y mantenimiento) volverse realidad.
Así que por favor den seria y devota consideración a hacer una generosa donación. Esta donación se puede cubrir en pagos parciales durante cinco meses, si es necesario. Ahora mas que nunca Reina de los Ángeles les necesita y esta contando con ustedes. Ustedes pueden hacer una diferencia… y la hacen en la vida de la parroquia.
Si ustedes ya donaron a la Campaña Católica Anual este año, todavía pueden añadir a su donación original. Simplemente envíen su contribución adicional a la Campaña Católica Anual (hay sobres todavía disponibles en la iglesia y en el Centro Parroquial) o póngala en un sobre marcado “Campaña Católica Anual” y deposítelo en la canasta de donaciones. Gracias.
THANKS, GUADALUPANOS! Thanks to the Guadalupano group for their continued support of Queen of Angels Parish. Through their fundraising efforts, another $352 has been added to the parish. Thank you for your commitment and hard work! It is appreciated.

PRAY FOR OUR PRIESTS As part of their apostleship of prayer, the Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women pray for specific priests on a given day each year. Let us join with them to pray for Fr. Jim Kaczorowski on Tuesday, February 23 and for Fr. John Griffiths on Thursday, February 25. In this Year of the Priest, let us continue to hold them in our thoughts and prayers, thanking God for all the good they do in leading us closer to Christ in their work at our parish.
MASS INTENTIONS Intentions may be placed for Sunday, weekday, holy day or holiday Masses in 2010. They may be offered in the name of friends or relatives, living or deceased, for those in need of extra prayers or in honor of a beloved saint.
