Catholic Charities of Dallas announces the 12th Annual Angels of Charity Mass & Spring Luncheon. The luncheon raises much needed funds for the programs of Catholic Charities of Dallas that assist those in need by strengthening families, alleviating hunger, preventing homelessness and welcoming the stranger.

This year’s event will be held on Thursday, May 9, 2013. Mass will be celebrated at the Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe at 10:30 a.m. Our celebrant will be Most Reverend J. Douglas Deshotel, Auxiliary Bishop & Vicar General. Lunch will follow at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center and will feature an inspirational presentation by Dr. Marti Jewell, Assistant Professor of Theology at the University of Dallas.

Our theme this year, “Faith in Action, Angels in Our Midst”, will honor the many amazing Angels who have displayed outstanding service. We are proud to announce this year’s award recipients:
