Angel Haus Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation established to provide employment for the disabled. We provide religious art.
Who We Are
Angel Haus is the name given to a family business in 2012 in an effort to both fill a niche for outdoor Christmas lawn art and provide an opportunity to engage our disabled son John who is an artist in a worthwhile project. When our pastor promised two years later to promote what we were doing, we were able to develop computer images on sign boards.
Our hope was that this project would engage possible friends for our son John from the community of those with disabilities. Those who have been drawn to our team have been very grateful to be part of such an uplifting project, enhancing their self-worth. Our marketing has been mostly in the local Denver area; we are grateful for our new website.
Today Angel Haus Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation which was established to provide limited employment for people with disabilities. These include physical, emotional, and mental disabilities. We have received support from donors such as the Knights of Columbus.
We provide religious art to promote images which enrich homes and communities. Our custom images include full-color panels which can be used as yard art to promote the true meaning of Christmas, and saints and angel and Holy Family images which are designed to help to promote the family home as a domestic church.
Sincerely in Christ,
Dcn. Dave and Mary Ann Arling
Feast of the Word of God
Here is a recent homily which was for Sunday C, January 23, 2022.
Homily for feast of the Word of God.
Ten years ago my family and I made a pilgrimage to Green Bay Wisconsin. No, it wasn’t to see Lambeau Field, home of the Packers, although Vince Lombardi was a devout Catholic. It was to visit the increasingly famous Chapel of Our Lady of Good Help.
Since we were there several days, I was determined to drive east to the coast of Lake Michigan. There was a lighthouse there, and I love lighthouses. For me a lighthouse is a symbol of our baptismal identity, to radiate the light that is the light of Christ. During the baptism ritual parents and godparents are told as they hold a lit candle, "This child of yours has been enlightened by Christ. He/she is to walk always as a child of the light."
Miracle Story of St. Joseph
Here is a recent homily which was for the 13th Sunday B, June 27 2021.
If we live in an attitude of trust, God will honor our faith and will work miracles in response.
In today’s Gospel passage from Mark we find two miracle stories. In these stories what is highlighted are the power that Jesus has over physical illness and his favorable response to faith.
There are many aspects of these miracles that we could focus on, but I particularly like the verse where Christ speaks of the necessity for trust in Him, saying “Do not be afraid, just have faith.” You may recall this verse in an earlier translation: “Fear is useless, what is needed is trust.” . ---So it is that we hear the challenge posed for us: how can we keep alive in our hearts an active trust in God?
Julia Greeley, Apostle of Charity
Here is an excerpt from my most recent homily which was for the First Sunday of Advent, Nov. 29, 2020. Julia is one of four holy men and women I highlighted. This is the last part of the homily:
And there is our own Apostle of Charity, here in Denver, the former slave, Julia Greeley. She was nicknamed One-eyed Julia because of an injury she received from the tip of a whip when a Missouri slavemaster was beating her mother.
Her biographer, Fr. Blaine Burkey, OFM Cap., entitled his book telling her story, "In the Secret Service of the Sacred Heart."
