EGIVING...We are pleased to remind you that sharing your weekly offerings with Holy Angels has never been easier, as EGiving has

been available for a few years now and is successfully being used by many parishioners. Simply go to our Parish website, www.holyangelsnj.org, to find the link to Parish Giving and sign up on the secure website.

Once signed-up, you can use your checking account or credit card to set up customized recurring donations based on the amount and timing of giving that best suits your needs.

We thank you for your active participation in Holy Angels Parish.

GIVE DRINK TO THE THIRSTY The Second Corporal Work of Mercy is to Give Drink to the Thirsty. In this Year of Mercy, we will be focusing our attention during the month of April to alleviate thirst.

As bad as hunger is, thirst is even worse. One can survive lack of food longer than lack of liquid. The Bible often uses water as a symbol of the life giving nature of God.

You are encouraged to bring healthy fruit drinks, water and liquid baby formula to Liturgy on Sundays and leave the offerings in the vestibules of the Church. Offerings will be distributed between the GWCM Food Pantry and Catholic Charities. Thank you!
