Ours is a hands-on faith; we also learn by doing. Register as a parishioner now, or find out how you can get more involved by serving at Mass, in your local parish, and in our communities.

RCIA | Sponsors Needed
So far at Queen of Angels, we have eleven people on track to join the catechumenate in December, and they are in need of sponsors.
If you are an adult Catholic who has completed Confirmation, please prayerfully consider serving as a sponsor this year.
Sponsors play an important role as friend and ally during the RCIA process. A sponsor might invite a catechumen to Mass, take them out to tea, invite them to Coffee Hour, introduce them to other parishioners, help to answer questions they might have (or refer them to the priest for more complicated topics), attend RCIA meetings with them, and generally extend the Love of Christ and His Church to them, wherever they are at.
Please contact the parish office if you feel a tug on your heart and would like to serve Christ and others in this way.
