Faith Formation February Family Event
We want to send some love to residents of local senior living facilities this year.
Here's how you can help:
- Make a handmade Valentine's Day card from each member of your family. No envelope needed.
- Make them generic and sign them: Your friends at Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church, Allen, Texas
- Drop these cards off at Church before or after Mass times the weekend of February 6th - 7th. There will be a collection box in the narthex.
These cards will be delivered on Valentine's Day.

Our Stephen Minister trainees are studying the topic of “Caring for Those with Depression: The Stephen Minister’s Role” this week.
They will learn the signs of mild, moderate, and severe depression; how to care appropriately for someone with mild or moderate depression; and when and how to make a referral to a mental health professional. Continue to pray for our trainees as they grow in their ability to bring Christ’s love and care to people as a ministry of our congregation.
We appreciate your continued prayers for our Stephen Minister training class.
This week, they are covering “A Process Approach to Caring,” which provides the key understanding that the most effective caregiving happens when we focus on the process of care – not the results we hope to see.
They do not have to fix the caregivers’ problems; instead, they can continue providing the best possible care while relying on God to bring about the results.
Please consider these fundraising options to help Our Lady of Angels Parish.
