Welcome to the latest edition of The Heavenly Express, the official newsletter for the Archangels Men’s Network of Catholic Charities Dallas. Here you will find the latest highlights, what’s to come, and general auxiliary group reminders.
The goal of the Archangels Men’s Network is to be the extra hands, voice, and leadership as needed to promote and provide support to Catholic Charities Dallas in its service to those in need in the Diocese of Dallas. Last year, those hands helped provide 930,424 meals to families across North Texas.
The Archangels Board is already working on setting the agenda for this year. As we head into fall, several opportunities are coming up for fellowship, service and outreach. Please save the dates below. We look forward to seeing you!
