St. Angela Merici Catholic Church Weekly Email

The Knights of Columbus extends a big Thank You to everyone who participated in our Forty Cans for Lent food drive. Thanks to your efforts we were able to donate over 2,100 lbs of food to the Sacred Heart of Manvel food pantry on TX-6. The pantry was in great need of food with the ongoing pandemic and sends their thanks as well. We hope that you will continue to assist in feeding the food insecure in Fort Bend and Brazoria counties by placing canned goods and dry food in the donation bin in the Church narthex.
LECTIO: PRAYER STUDY STARTS MAY 16
With the clear teaching and artistry of the Augustine Institute's Lectio series, Dr. Tim Gray masterfully uses the discipline of Lectio Divina to show you how to make prayer an effective effort of love and intimacy. In six video sessions, Lectio: Prayer: Finding Intimacy with God captures the secret to opening our hearts and minds to Scripture as the means to hear from God and then respond in conversation, basking in his presence and resolving to live in and through his love.
