Holy Angels Catholic Church

Holy Angels Catholic Church Holy Angels is a Catholic Church in West Bend, WI. The Church started as a mission with services and sacraments being given in the houses of different settlers.

Holy Angels can trace the start of its history to sometime between 1845 and 1848, about the same time West Bend and the State of Wisconsin were formed. Bishop Henni would send the nearest priest to care for the congregation which was Fr. Salzman and until 1851 Fr. Schraudenbach. In 1851, the trustees of the congregation paid $15 for land in West Bend and in 1852 they built a beamed frame Church. T

he name of the Church at that time was Mary, Mother of Sorrows. However, in 1857 when Fr. Rehrl took over the care of the congregation, the church changed its name to Holy Angels. This was to avoid confusion with the Barton Parish which had just been dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of Mary. The congregation again grew too large for its building, so on July 10, 1866 a cornerstone was laid for a new brick church. That church stood a block away from where the current church sits. When the new church was completed in 1867 the old church was used as a school house. Then in 1880 the first school building was built. Yet again the church became too small for its congregation so in 1914 the cornerstone was laid for the new church building. This is the present location of Holy Angels. Both the cornerstone from 1866 and 1914 can be seen on the outside of the building. It wasn’t until 1944 that the two middle exits for the church were added on. Then in June of 2002 the most recent additions and improvements were finished. Added were a carport, an elevator, a complete remodel of the church hall as well as updated exits to the back of the church. Although the number of parishioners has fluctuated over its 160+ year existence, Holy Angels still stands as a strong presence in the community of West Bend.

🏗️ Roof construction is happening!

Due to Wednesday’s wet weather, the start of our church roof project has been delayed slightly. Construction will now begin this coming Monday. The supplies and equipment are in place, and the contractors are ready to get started.

Please remember that our weekend Mass schedule will remain unchanged throughout the construction period. However, weekday Masses at Holy Angels will be affected. We encourage you to take one of the Mass schedule cards available in the pews and at the church entrances, which includes weekday Mass times at our neighboring Catholic parishes.

Mass schedules and updates can also be found in this week’s bulletin and on our website at www.hawb.org.

Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and continued support as we complete this important improvement to our church home. We look forward to sharing updates with you throughout the project and celebrating its completion together!

On Flag Day (June 14), Americans honor the history and symbolism of the U.S. flag. Flag Day, in the United States, a day honoring the national flag, observed on June 14. The holiday commemorates the date in 1777 when the United States approved the design for its first national flag.

Here are some ways you can observe the day beyond displaying the flag:

*Review Flag Etiquette: Ensure your flag is treated with respect—never let it touch the ground or wear it as clothing. If displayed on a wall, make sure the union (the blue field of stars) is in the upper left-hand corner.

*Learn the Symbolism: Take time to understand what the design means. The 13 stripes represent the original colonies, the 50 stars represent the states, and the colors stand for valor (red), purity (white), and perseverance (blue).

*Attend a Local Event: Many communities host patriotic ceremonies, picnics, or parades to celebrate. Veterans groups and civic organizations often organize these gatherings.

*Retire Old Flags: If you have an old, tattered American flag, Flag Day is a great time to properly retire it. Many American Legion posts and local VFW branches have official, respectful flag disposal ceremonies.
