ROYAL REVIEW (5.05.23)

Queen of Angels Families,

This weekend we celebrate the First Holy Communion of most of our Second Graders. There were three of them that received this Sacrament at Easter Vigil, and many of their classmates will join them this Sunday at the 10:30 Mass. Congratulations and many prayers to the following students:

Leslie Aucapina

Koralyn Geyer

Yoselin Gonzalez-Alcantara

Ashlyn Lopez

Olive Ochoa Monterroso

Matilda Osborne

Dailyn Pacheco

Christopher Sotamba

We look forward to our second graders joining us for the blessed Sacrament at Mass. I hope that you take time to be outside and that you all have a wonderful weekend, and I hope that the Lord continues to provide his love and Graces at all times.

Mary, Queen of Angels, Pray for US!

Many blessings,

Mr. Wiegmann

Rosario en español: Ven y únete con nosotros todos los lunes a las 8:15 A.M. para rezar el rosario en Español . Esta hora fue escogido para que aquellos padres que pueden atender ,después dejar a sus niños al colegio pueden caminar directamente a la iglesia y rezar el rosario. Nuestra Señora promete quién reza constantemente mi Rosario, recibirá cualquier gracia que me pida con la conformidad de la voluntad de Dios .Nuestro Señor Jesús Cristo y la Virgen María te espera.

Paz y Bien,
Laurie Reynolds

Come and join us every Monday at 8:15 and learn to pray the rosary in Spanish. We have three parishioners that have joined us since April and they know already how to pray it in Spanish. I have made prayer cards where you can follow with us. Our Lady promises whoever prays my rosary constantly will receive whatever grace they ask of me in accordance with God’s will. Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary awaits you.

Guiding students, as children of Mary, to be disciples of Christ through faith, knowledge and service.
