St. Augustine's Feast Day is August 28!
St. Augustine is the patron saint of brewers [people who make beer] because of his early life which included parties, entertainment and worldly ambitions.
Check out what we have on the great saint! 

St. Augustine Laminated Prayer Card $1.00
Buy laminated prayer cards (SKU contains letters RR) in any quantity and any combination, and every fifth card is free of charge. 


Goodness & Grace mugs are unique and special. Each mug features a cross shape cut-out that goes through the center of the mug and a message inspired by a song lyric from popular church hymns.






Prayer Pillowcases for children and adults $14.95
We can personalize the pillowcases for you with your own words!



If you want to learn to live a holy life, the best teachers are ones who have done that very thing.  Next to Jesus and His Mother, who can better teach us about holiness than the saints?
 A Year with the Saints takes one virtue per month (Perfection, Humility, Mortification, Patience, Meekness, Obedience, Simplicity, Diligence, Prayer, Confidence, Charity, Union) and then discusses that virtue in depth.  Quotes from the saints and incidents from their lives illustrate the virtue each day, highlighting different aspects of the virtue as the month progresses.  It's easy and quick to read each day's reflection, but the lessons one can learn run deep.



Hear Christ speak to you like never before. My Daily Bread is a series of short, daily reflections on the spiritual life. Written with loving care by Father Anthony Paone, this devotional will strengthen your love for Christ and his teachings. https://cfpholyangels.com/catholic-books/devotional/



The Dialogue of Saint Catherine of Siena--St. Catherine of Siena is recognized as one of the most remarkable mystical theologians of the Middle Ages. She was also a stigmatist, counselor of popes and a Doctor of the Church.


Christ in the Gospel is a magnificent little book that has interwoven all four Gospels into one, with each section annotated so that one can easily find the reference in the particular Gospel. One reads the entire life of Christ, from the Gospels, in six months and then begins over. Short study questions in the back help the reader to focus on the important information in the Gospel passage for the day and then to apply it to one's life.

The Joy of the Gospel, Pope Francis' Encyclical

CFP Holy Angels Gift Shop joyfully announces that we now have in stock Pope Francis' new encyclical, The Joy of The Gospel.   This may be the best 9.95 you will ever spend!



Here are the first few paragraphs of the introduction:

1. The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus. Those who accept his offer of salvation are set free from sin, sorrow, inner emptiness and loneliness. With Christ joy is constantly born anew. In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.

I. A joy ever new, a joy which is shared
2. The great danger in today’s world, pervaded as it is by consumerism, is the desolation and anguish born of a complacent yet covetous heart, the feverish pursuit of frivolous pleasures, and a blunted conscience. Whenever our interior life becomes caught up in its own interests and concerns, there is no longer room for others, no place for the poor. God’s voice is no longer heard, the quiet joy of his love is no longer felt, and the desire to do good fades. This is a very real danger for believers too. Many fall prey to it, and end up resentful, angry and listless. That is no way to live a dignified and fulfilled life; it is not God’s will for us, nor is it the life in the Spirit which has its source in the heart of the risen Christ.

3. I invite all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ, or at least an openness to letting him encounter them; I ask all of you to do this unfailingly each day. No one should think that this invitation is not meant for him or her, since “no one is excluded from the joy brought by the Lord”.[1] The Lord does not disappoint those who take this risk; whenever we take a step towards Jesus, we come to realize that he is already there, waiting for us with open arms. Now is the time to say to Jesus: “Lord, I have let myself be deceived; in a thousand ways I have shunned your love, yet here I am once more, to renew my covenant with you. I need you. Save me once again, Lord, take me once more into your redeeming embrace”. How good it feels to come back to him whenever we are lost! Let me say this once more: God never tires of forgiving us; we are the ones who tire of seeking his mercy. Christ, who told us to forgive one another “seventy times seven” (Mt 18:22) has given us his example: he has forgiven us seventy times seven. Time and time again he bears us on his shoulders. No one can strip us of the dignity bestowed upon us by this boundless and unfailing love. With a tenderness which never disappoints, but is always capable of restoring our joy, he makes it possible for us to lift up our heads and to start anew. Let us not flee from the resurrection of Jesus, let us never give up, come what will. May nothing inspire more than his life, which impels us onwards!

This is a beautifully written and joyful invitation to join Christ in living and loving the Gospel The Pope's enthusiasm, evident here in the first few paragraphs, swells through this document and will invigorate your faith and your life. Certainly if we live our faith in love, we would be living it in joy as well.

May the joy of the Gospel be ours always!
