Dear Parishioners,
At some point last week, it hit me that we are less than a month away from the start of the school year. I think that the older I get the faster summers seem to move!
During the summer we plan summer maintenance, renovations and building projects that are a challenge to accomplish during the school year. Last week I touched on four of those projects.
Our building projects, while they are an important support to our mission, are not our main mission. Our main mission as a school is to lead our kids in a relationship with Jesus, so that they can know Him, love Him, respond to Him in their lives, and ultimately live with Him in Heaven.
Each day at St. Angela, our kids pray, they study the faith, they engage all academic disciplines, they live in a dynamic faith community in school, and they learn to volunteer as leaders and as part of a team. They grow into greatness and lives are changed.
Our school year starts on August 11th. As begin, I would ask you to pray for our students, their families, our administration, faculty and staff (and their families too). I would specifically ask that every day we pray an Our Father, a Hail Mary and a Glory Be for the mission of our school. It takes about a minute, but the power of that minute means a lot to our school day.
Thank you for your strong support! Know that Fr. Lawrence and I pray for you every day.
Fr. Beau Charbonnet, Pastor
“Amen, I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Family Faith Formation
Registration is now open for our 2022-2023 Faith Formation Program. This program meets the faith formation requirement for parish children in grades K-7 who are not currently enrolled in a Catholic school.
It consists of monthly in-person gatherings, typically taking place on the first Monday of every month September-May. These sessions are for BOTH parents and their children and will last approximately from 6:30-8:00 p.m. During this time students will be divided into age-appropriate classes where they will be given a lesson by a volunteer catechist. At the same time, parents will form a separate group where they will be catechized, encouraged, and equipped so as to be able to successfully instruct their children in the faith at home for the remainder of that month.
During the remaining weeks, families will complete weekly lessons together at home. These lessons are intended to be interactive, filled with games, Scripture quotes, crafts, lives of the saints, etc., and are designed to reinforce and deepen your family’s understanding and appreciation of our Catholic faith. Families also are given options, allowing them to choose the lessons/activities which best fit the needs of their particular child(ren).
