Holy Angels Church at 18205 Chillicothe Road, Chagrin Falls, OH 44023 US

We are pleased to welcome Steve Angrisano back to Holy Angels. You may remember that Steve led our parish mission about a year and a half ago and was a tremendous source of inspiration, hope and joy for the hundreds of people who attended. On Friday, September 24, Steve will provide a "one of a kind" special evening of music and inspiration. The event is open to adults and includes cocktails, dinner, dessert and the performance. Please contact Greg Wasinski at gw@wasinski.com for tickets. Steve will address the men of Holy Angels and St. Joan's on Saturday morning, September 25, and present a LAUNCH kickoff session on Sunday, September 26, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The Sunday event is open to the public and is free to everyone. We hope you'll take time to join us for one of these great opportunities to be with one of America's best singer-songwriters and evangelists, Steve Angrisano.

On Saturday, September 25, our parish will sponsor our third Polka Mass and Oktoberfest. The Mass is at 5:00 p.m. followed by a great night of German food, polka music and dancing. This year's Polka Mass will be very special because Fr. Frank Perkovich will celebrate the Mass. Fr. "Perk" (as he is known) held the first polka Mass on May 5, 1973, in Eveleth, Minnesota. His greatest experience was to celebrate the Polka Mass at St. Peter's Basilica for John Paul II. We are thrilled to have Fr. Perk with us and look forward to a great evening. Tickets for the Oktoberfest are $30 inclusive and must be purchased in advance. To reserve your spot, call Bernie Lahmann at (440) 724-0506 or stop by the table after Masses next weekend, September 11 & 12. To download a brochure, CLICK HERE.

A number of people have asked me how Alex Yates is doing. Alex graduated from Borromeo and John Carroll earlier this spring and is now taking a year off from the seminary to continue his discernment process. This year, he's working with a program of the Capuchin Franciscans that is similar to what we know as the Peace Corps. He has the good fortune to be working at St. Thomas Aquinas School in Cleveland as an assistant teacher and tutor. He is living in community with four other people who embrace the spirit of poverty and the Franciscan life as they discern God's will. We are thrilled that Alex is working at St. Thomas because of our own connection there. I know that Alex appreciates your prayers and support as he continues to discern God's will. We wish him all the best as he undertakes this year of volunteering with the Capuchins.

Someone once said, "God doesn't call the qualified. He qualifies the called!" We are still in need of PSR and LAUNCH catechists for the upcoming year. Maybe you're retired and are looking for something to fill your time, or perhaps you're a parent who would like to know more about your faith. If so, we could really use your time and talent! Please contact Kim McCoy at the Parish Office at (440) 708-0808 and Kim can fill you in on all the details.

Thanks for your generous hearts and joyful spirits!

Fr. Dan
