We are excited to celebrate the Feast of the Guardian Angel on Sunday, October 3rd! Our celebration will begin with the noon Mass and continues with a parish picnic at 1:00pm. All are welcome to attend! Guardian Angels will provide pulled pork and chicken from City BBQ. We ask parishioners attending to bring a side, salad, or a dessert to share. Please bring your dish to share in a throw away container. Please RSVP through the this link by September 26th. 

The Sunday noon Mass will return on September 12th. We are looking for volunteers to serve as ushers during our noon Mass on Sundays. If you are interested, please call the rectory office at 513-231-7440.

Guardian Angels will be offering 2 different types of learning for our CCD program for the upcoming school year. CCD will take place Sunday mornings from 8:30-9:45am from September 12 through May 1. While continuing religious education is vital in every grade, it is crucial that 2nd and 8th graders be enrolled to receive their respective sacraments at GA. Those in 7th grade should be enrolled for Confirmation prep in order to be confirmed in their 8th grade year. Those wishing to enroll their children in CCD grades K-8 can find more information on the parish website. You can also use this link to register and pay for either option.

Get your registration in ASAP! Classes begin Sunday, September 12. Know a family who may be interested in CCD? Feel free to pass on the information.

If you are interested in or have questions about either of these opportunities, reach out to our Director of Religious Education, Kay Froehlich.

Fathers of our Guardian Angels family: you are invited to join us each Friday at 6:05am in Conference Room B (next to the undercroft) as part of our Fathers Team. Each week during the school year, we meet early on Friday for one hour to discuss a topic that is meaningful for dads.

September 10th: How to Balance Career, Catholicism, and Kids

September 17th: Favorite Bible Passages. Do you have a passage that you call on in a time of thankfulness?...or in a time of need?

September 24th: Giving your children feedback; Having hard conversations. As fathers, we are tasked to help our children grow and succeed. When you offer feedback or advice, how do you do it? How do you balance praise, correction and direction that ensures continual growth? What techniques have you found to be successful...or not.

No preparation is required. Just show up and join in the conversation...or just observe. You'll walk away more informed on this "dad topic" and be better equipped from the discussion to execute your most important role, that of being a good father. Come solo, or better yet, bring a friend! Again, mark your calendars to join us this Friday in person or optionally join via Zoom. Contact us at GAfathersteam@gmail.com for the zoom information, or to get on the GA Fathers Team email distribution.

On Sunday, September 19th at the 10:00am Mass, there will be a special marriage blessing for couples who are celebrating a 5 year increment wedding anniversary any time during 2021. For example 5, 10, 15, 20, etc. 

Please let the Parish Office know by Friday, September 10th if you would like to receive this special blessing and be recognized in the bulletin.
