Holy Angels Church at 18205 Chillicothe Road, Chagrin Falls, OH 44023 US - Home
Mission Statement
As members of the Church of the Holy Angels, we covenant with one another to follow and share the teachings of Jesus Christ in accord with our Roman Catholic tradition. We will worship God together and serve our neighbor as an open and caring Christian community. We pledge to minister to one another's spiritual and physical needs, expressing through our individaul lives the love and faith taught by Jesus.
Next weekend, February 13 and 14, the 2010 Catholic Charities Annual Appeal will begin with an in-pew commitment process. All who have not received a mailing or had a chance to respond to it, will be asked to consider making a generous pledge to support the ministries and services provided by Catholic Charities. If you have received the mailing, please respond to it. There is a box on the envelope you will receive next weekend where you can indicate that you responded by mail. As the requests for the services of Catholic Charities increase and government funding of programs decrease, it is important for each of us to do what we can to assure the needs of those who depend on Catholic Charities are met. The appeal will take place during the homily time. We will listen to a brief address by Bishop Lennon and then take the time to complete pledge cards at Mass. We ask that you prayerfully consider your donation and keep the work of Catholic Charities and its appeal in your prayers. Thanks, in advance, for your understanding and your generosity.
As technology develops we are constantly seeking ways to better communicate with our parishioners. To this end, Holy Angels now has a "Facebook" page. If you would like to become a "fan" of Holy Angels, please search for us on your facebook page by typing in "Church of the Holy Angels." You will be able to add your comments as well as prayer requests. Also, if you would like to be added to our "E-News" mailing list, go to our website at www.holyangelschurch.com and click on the link on the bottom of the home page.
The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 17. Lent is a journey of 40 days through the suffering, passion and death of Jesus to his Resurrection on Easter morning. To symbolize the beginning of this journey, a penitential procession will begin the weekend liturgies on the First Sunday of Lent, February 19/20. Parishioners will be invited to assemble in the Gathering Area and process with the priest and ministers into the body of the church as a sign of our Lenten journey. We will sing the Litany of the Saints as we process, asking for their help and intercession as we turn away from sin and become more faithful to the Gospel through this holy season.
