Congratulations to the
Family of the Month
January 2021
The Chaves Family
The Chaves family is an outstanding example of a Catholic family in Our Lady of Angels parish. Carlos and Melissa are always volunteering in various capacities as needed on behalf of the parish.
Carlos assists with communion every Sunday with hand sanitizer, regularly reads at Mass, and is an active member of Defenders of the Faith. Additionally, Carlos instituted the annual celebration of Our Lady of Angels at OLA several years ago, including a Mass, procession, and festivities afterward.
Melissa works in the parish rectory, including performing significant volunteer work there.
Both Carlos and Melissa are always ready to cheerfully volunteer their time and effort on a variety of other projects that benefit the parish also.
Nominations for
Family of the Month
The Council is seeking nominations for Family of the Month (FOM) February. I would certainly guess there is no shortage of deserving families. You may nominate families not associated with the Knights of Columbus as long as they display devotion to one or more of the following: promoting Christian family values, supporting community or school activities, participation as a family in the sacramental life of their parish. Please pass your nomination to Grand Knight Chuck Wheeler.

Parish Raffle Sale Support
Bishop’s Lenten Appeal
Father Álvaro has asked that we make a concerted push to encourage sacrificial participation in the annual Bishop’s Lenten Appeal (BLA), and that we do so prior to Ash Wednesday if at all possible. In the current COVID environment there is greater need than ever in the Arlington Diocese for the assistance provided by the BLA. Many of you have probably already received Bishop Burbidge’s 2021 BLA appeal letter which contains information about how to donate. If you do not have the letter, be alert for the BLA information that will be provided during upcoming weekend Masses at Our Lady of Angels Church.

Council 5750 Worthy Past Grand Knight Komla Kudiabor has requested assistance from Council brothers on behalf of Fr. Joseph Ocran, currently serving at St. Lawrence Parish in Springfield. Fr.

The Archdiocese in Accra, Ghana, is having challenges supporting him further due to the continuing impacts of COVID.
