Preschool Registration Opens for Parishioners January 11th

Preschool and pre-kindergarten registration will open to current Guardian Angels School and Parish families with new students on Monday, January 11th. We absolutely expect all preschool and pre-kindergarten classes to fill again this year. Current GA school and parish families have first priority in registering and re-enrolling but we recommend completing the process as soon as possible to ensure a spot. Last year our preschool and pre-k classes filled very quickly. There are only a few spots available for pre-k as most students currently in preschool will be moving up to pre-k for the 21-22 school year. If there are spots available after this early enrollment period, we will open registration up to the community on January 25th. At that point, spots will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

You will find registration materials on the preschool page of the school website.

Thank You!

Thank you to all of the parishioners, CCD and school children for their help in making this another Blessed Christmas for our neighbors in need.

Our St Vincent de Paul ministry will be delivering 100 boxes of food to 100 families this Saturday with the help of 11 volunteer teams! Over 175 boxes were returned filled with food and treats! Thanks to the Boy Scouts who will be loading all of the volunteer cars on Saturday and to the Girl Scouts who are making cards, containers of hot chocolate and have assembled purses with personal care items.

8am and 10am Masses Now Streamed Each Sunday

We have added the 8am Sunday Mass to our live streaming options each Sunday. The 8am and 10am Masses can be viewed on our YouTube channel and Facebook page live or they can be played back on either channel at a later time.

Make An Online Offertory Donation

Giving to Guardian Angels Parish has never been easier. Online offertory donations can be made online now. Last year, we saw a larger number of parishioners switch their offertory giving to our online donation platform. These gifts were crucial in 2020! But this is a convenient way to give anytime. If you are interested in establishing a one-time or recurring gift through our online platform, just click the button below. Once you have an account setup, you can make any changes to your giving yourself through the website.

Save the Date: Camp GAudeo, June 21-25

As we begin a new liturgical year, we’re hoping that you can mark your family’s calendar for our 7th annual middle school camp called “Camp GAudeo.” A global pandemic couldn’t stop the great things that Jesus had in store for our young people this past summer, and we’re so excited to see what He has in store for 2021. Registrations will open in late January, but we are hoping that families can mark their calendars and fit this week of ministry for current 5th-8th grade students into their future planning. We are also looking for adults and high school students who are interested in helping to plan this event, even in these very early stages. Contact Bradley Barnes at bbarnes@gaparish.org for more information.

School Masses

Due to Covid-19 and the additional measures we are taking to protect our students and staff, all school Masses are held privately and for students and staff only this school year. Students are socially distanced in church and required to wear a mask throughout the Mass. Thank you for keeping our children in prayer!
