Ministry
Welcome to “Ministry” at Holy Angels!
Mother Teresa says: “What I do you cannot do; but what you do, I cannot do. The needs are great, and none of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful.”
Are you hearing a call to do something small with love for the Lord?
Top three reasons to join a ministry or organization:
- Get to see your church at work.
- Get to know your fellow parishioners.
- And most importantly, answer His call to show your love for God and neighbor.

Nothing - not even divorce or death - can place limits on God’s love.” -USCCB, Follow the Way of Love, pg. 5 Read More...
Annulment
An annulment is a finding by a Church tribunal that on the day vows were exchanged at least some essential element for a valid marriage was lacking. An annulment is a declaration by the Catholic Church that the prior union never had the binding force that characterizes marriage.

(Mk 10:7-12; Mt 5:31-32; Lk 16:18) Read More...
