Impostor Priest Email/Texting Scams
Recently, there have been several reports of fraudulent email solicitations for financial support, usually in the form of gift cards, coming from email accounts identifying as Archdiocesan priests, including Cardinal DiNardo.
Please be advised that Father Thuy would never make such appeals to the parish community requesting gift cards or any financial assistance.  If you receive such email or text, please notify the parish office immediately. You can also visit the Attorney General, Ken Paxton’s website at www.texasattorneygeneral.gov.  Click on Scam Alert: “AG Paxton Warns Texans about Text Message Scam”. 

Welcome To Guardian Angel Catholic Church! 

Our parish is a diverse Christian Community in the Roman Catholic Tradition located in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, Texas.
We are called to continue the mission of our Lord, Jesus Christ:

• To serve others with love, care and compassion.
• To grow spiritually in worshipping God through prayer and sacraments,
• To study God's revelation in Scripture and Tradition,
• To celebrate God's love by our words and our actions as we attempt to become more Christ like in our journey of faith.

We rely on God's grace, Christ's love, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit to
accomplish this mission.

Did you know that Catholics can make an Act of Spiritual Communion?

It has long been a Catholic understanding that when circumstances prevent one from receiving Holy Communion, it is possible to make an Act of Spiritual Communion which is a source of grace. Spiritual Communion means uniting one’s self in prayer with Christ’s sacrifice and worshiping Him in His Body and Blood.

The most common reason for making an Act of Spiritual Communion is when a person cannot attend Mass. Acts of Spiritual Communion increase our desire to receive sacramental Communion and help us avoid the sins that would make us unable to receive Holy Communion worthily. When unable to receive Holy Communion, pray the prayer below: 

A prayer for Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there
And unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
