RCIA will begin in the fall on Thursday evenings.

In Case You Missed It - Q Group Report
Parish Pastoral Council released the Q Group's final report last month. The Q Group was established in 2017, as Guardian Angels Parish celebrated its 125th anniversary. The group, made up of long-term and new parishioners, GA school and non-school families, and a few staff members, was tasked with looking at the strengths in our community as well as areas where we could improve and help develop a vision for the future. You can read the full report below.
