Welcome to Our Lady of Angels!

Our Lady of Angels has been serving Bay Ridge, Brooklyn since 1891 with a strong family and community spirit that, along with the beauty of the church, gives rise to a sense of welcome and holiness to all who worship here. Our parish is a friendly and caring faith community, worshiping and working together in charity and generosity. This is exhibited in the spirit, time, talent and wealth witnessed in OLA’s numerous ministries, services and social activities. Our dedicated clergy reach out to us and touch our lives.

As humble servants of Jesus, we are committed to addressing the needs and enriching the faith of all our parishioners and to reaching out in a loving, non-judgmental manner to our greater community. As we move to the future, it is our desire to open our doors to those who no longer feel welcome in our church, to be responsive to the Holy Spirit and to live the Gospel message through our daily example.

Mass: What to Expect

The central Catholic act of worship is attending the Mass, or Divine Liturgy. The Mass is divided into two parts: the Liturgy of the Word, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. 

During the first part, the priest leads us in prayer and songs, praising God, thanking Him, and asking Him for forgiveness. We hear Scripture readings, the priest gives a talk, and then we all pronounce the core principles of our faith. 

In the second part, the priest says the blessing, transforming bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. We all say the "Our Father" prayer, and then receive communion. Finally, there is a closing prayer and final blessing.
