World Day of Prayer 🙏🏼 for Consecrated Life
2025-02-02
Join us in praying for vocations on this special day dedicated to consecrated life. Let us ask God to inspire and sustain those called to serve Him, using this prayer adapted from Pope Francis’ message at the close of the Year of Consecrated Life:

“Brothers and Sisters, Go Forth! Remember the beauty of your first call. Jesus continues to call you today with the same full love and untamed grace. Go Forth! There is always more to do, to encounter, to be grateful for, to be astonished by. Begin and end with the joy of prayer—the marrow of consecrated life. Go Forth! Each of us has a role to play in the Church. Witness and sow well each day, and look to tomorrow with hope. Go Forth! Grow in love for God so that others will be attracted by the divine light in you. Welcome the new vocations the Lord sends to continue the work of consecration. We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Mother of God and first disciple of her Son, Jesus, our Lord. Amen.”

May this prayer guide us in supporting and encouraging new vocations in the Church. 🙏✨

Society of St. Vincent de Paul Meeting
2025-02-06 19:00 - 20:30 | Guardian Angels Catholic Church (Parish Conference Room), 109 S. 3rd Street, Mead, CO, 10016, United States
The St. Vincent de Paul Society conference at Guardian Angels was formed in October 2021. Since that time our group has learned much about each other and our neighbors in need. We continue to provide assistance to neighbors in Mead, Berthoud, Longmont, Platteville, and other nearby communities. We provide not only material assistance such as rent, utilities, telephone bills, fuel, and groceries but also offer friendship, understanding, and prayer.

Most of the financial assistance we provide comes from the generosity of Guardian Angels parishioners. We provided almost $8000 in rent assistance locally over the previous year thanks, in large part to the generosity of Guardian Angels parishioners. With growing needs, we have already exceeded $8000 in rent assistance in the six months of the current fiscal year.

Attend this meeting to join our Society of St. Vincent de Paul at Guardian Angels so we can do more for those in need in our community. We meet on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 7 pm in the parish conference room and on Zoom.
