Recent Church News:
Holy Angels beginning a Capital Development Campaign! It is no secret to long-time church members that our parish buildings need extensive repair and work. The Archdiocese recently committed itself to helping with these needed repairs. They assessed the work to be done as followings:
(1) Completely rehabbing the rectory
(2) Extensive wall and roof repair on the church.
The entire cost of these repairs will be approximately $2 million dollars. With this in mind, Holy Angels has begun a major fund campaign to help raise these monies and enable us to continue the good work done here for over 120 years. You will be hearing more on this is the months ahead!
