Holy Angels Catholic Community

Honor a special father, grandfather, godfather, father‑in‑law, or any man who has played a fatherly role in your life by including him in our Father’s Day Novena of Masses, 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟭. 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 so you may remember a loved one, living or deceased. Please write the name on the card, include your donation, and place it in the offertory basket or bring it to the parish rectory. This novena is a prayerful way to give thanks for the men who have guided and supported us; thank you for your participation.

This Father's Day, we give thanks for the fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, and father figures who shape our families and our community with their love, sacrifice, and faith. In their quiet strength and steady presence, we glimpse the love of God the Father, who cares for each of us as His beloved children. We honor those who are with us, and we remember in prayer those who have gone before us. May every father know the gratitude of those he has guided and the blessing of the One who entrusted them to his care.

Heavenly Father,
source of all fatherhood and love,
we lift up to You the fathers of our parish.
Bless them with wisdom and patience,
strengthen them in their daily labors,
and fill their hearts with Your peace.
Guide them to lead their families
by the example of Your Son.
Comfort those who carry heavy burdens,
and welcome into Your eternal home
the fathers who have died.
We ask this through Christ our Lord,
through the intercession of Saint Joseph,
patron and protector of families.

Amen.

Thank you to everyone who joined and supported the Holy Angels Italian Catholic Federation’s Sausage & Meatball Sandwich and Cannoli fundraiser on June 13–14—your generosity made the weekend a wonderful success; heartfelt thanks to our dedicated ICF volunteers who prepared and served every sandwich and cannoli with care, and to everyone who bought food, spread the word, and brought family and friends—proceeds will benefit our seminarians and parish charities, our new cannolis were a big hit, and we loved seeing the community come together; please enjoy the attached photos from the event and thank you again for your time, donations, and spirit—Grazie mille!

In his Encyclical, Pope Leo XIV calls us 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 "𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀." What better way than donating blood for City of Hope's patients?

There is a blood supply shortage and patients at City of Hope need your help. Please sign up to donate with the link below. Scheduled appointments help the hospital plan staffing so donors receive faster, better care.
