Queen of Angels is excited to begin a new Parish Formation program designed to lead the whole family in study of the faith. Not only those children not enrolled in a Catholic school but the entire parish is invited to participate in this great opportunity to deepen our faith in our families.

Please call the parish with any questions and stop by the office to register your family and receive your books.

Below are the dates of all scheduled adult and family meetings this year.

I apologize. Here is some information from the meeting:

So there I was about 12 years ago with a sleeping 5-year-old and 4-year-old the weekend right after thanksgiving. I can’t remember what time it was but it was late at night or super early in the morning. My children and I lived in the upstairs of a duplex. All of a sudden from a dead sleep I'm woken up by the breaking of glass. I can hear my neighbor downstairs yelling for me, so I start to run down to see what was going on and he yells “get the kids, it’s a fire!” So I go to my childrens’ bedroom and wake them up and have them head down the stairs outside.

The firemen were great that were there. They got the Red Cross there to help with blankets and get us a hotel room for a few days. My only thought was that this was our home and the place I earned an income. I babysat for a couple friends to help with money while I was in between jobs, but if I didn’t have a home how could I babysit? What was I going to do, because now we had nothing and I had to start over... but how? 

So the next day my mom calls me and says okay Samantha what are you doing? I say “Nothing, I’m just a mess, Mom,” and she said she was coming into town to pick me and the kids up and go to her house. I said okay. So she comes and loads the kids up in her van and I climb on in. We get to her house and I have younger siblings (I’m the oldest of 14 - the youngest is still 15) so Mom has whole totes full of clothes. So she brings a couple totes up but I’m so numb I can’t even help her. She looks at me and asks: “Samantha, what size does Gabe wear?” and I just look at her like it was another language. She looks at me, then calls my son over to her and starts holding pants and shirts up to him and making a pile of clothes for him. She does the same thing for my daughter.

My mom showed me that day how much the Lord reveals Himself to us in our parents. I am a parent but in that moment no one could have replaced my mom. The Lord showed me that my mom was the perfect person for the job. 

Parents- you are the perfect person for the job! Jesus said, “Here, I give you this child, and as imperfect as you are, you will be perfect for this child. Go teach them about Me.”

With that said, think about how you would answer these questions:

Reflection Questions for Parents:

Who are we most likely to believe? How about when we are children? 

What are some qualities or behaviors others display that make you more likely to believe them?

How do we find someone who is able to do something for us that we cannot do for ourselves? 

We are most likely to believe those who love us and care for us unselfishly. As parents, we sometimes believe that our children don't want to listen to us. That’s not true! Our children know that we do our best to show them the love Our Lord has for them. Our children know that God gave us to them as their parents. Our children look up to us and see us as living examples of the faith. As parents we’re told that we are our child's first teachers of the faith. Don’t worry, God is here to help us. Ask Him to help you.
