Memorials
At Holy Guardian Angels Parish, we offer many ways for you to memorialize and honor your family, friends, and neighbors. The most common way parishioners do this is by offering a Mass. However, with such a large parish, sometimes the date or Mass time you would like is not available. Here are some of the alternate ways you can remember your loved ones.
A gift in memory of or in honor of a family member or loved one is also an option. Click the button below to give a gift "In Memory" of the deceased or "In Honor" of a living person(s) for special intentions. Popular memorials for the living include milestone birthdays, anniversaries, or special occasions.
