A Celebration of Sisterhood & Service
The Angels of Charity Annual Mass & Luncheon is a time to celebrate and recognize the incredible impact the Angels make in the community through service and philanthropy. Enjoy a beautiful morning of prayer, fellowship, and words of inspiration from this year’s dynamic guest speaker, Cathy Musco Garcia-Prats, all while supporting the mission and work of Catholic Charities Dallas. All are welcome to attend, regardless of membership status.
Benefitting Mater Maria
Catholic Charities Dallas’ newest program, Mater Maria, offers housing and case management to pregnant women who find themselves unhoused without any means of support. Rooted in Catholic tradition, Mater Maria welcomes expectant mothers regardless of their marital or socioeconomic status, race, or religion.
All proceeds from the Annual Mass & Luncheon will support the incredible work of Mater Maria.
