Sacraments
St. Angela Merici parish family worked hard to embrace the spirit of the Second Vatican Council which was summoned by Pope John XXIII, in the 1960’s. Many Catholics brought up in decades before Vatican II, experienced this approach to Church, and especially liturgy and sacraments as a radical change. In reality, the Church was calling us to embrace our liturgical life with the enthusiasm and involvement of the earliest Christians and to enter into our celebrations with full, active and conscious participation.
St. Angela’s hopes you will catch and adopt this spirit when celebrating the Church’s Sacraments. We do all we can to guarantee that you will go beyond a mechanical and individualized notion of passively “receiving” the sacraments, and move on to a healthy sense of participating in, and celebrating our sacred rites as wonderful moments in your own spiritual life and in the life of our Church.
