Queen of Angels Church

What Queen of Angels Church does

Queen of Angels Catholic Church is a Catholic parish located in Alpine, California, serving the local Catholic community under the canonical authority of the Diocese of San Diego. Established in 1951 (originally under the name St. Philomena), the parish delivers traditional Catholic services including a Saturday Vigil Mass, two Sunday Masses, weekday Masses Tuesday through Friday, Eucharistic Adoration, Confessions, and the seven sacraments (Baptism, Reconciliation, Holy Communion, Confirmation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Matrimony, and Holy Orders). It also runs comprehensive Faith Formation programming from preschool through high school, OCIA for adult initiation, Bible studies, and an active Youth Ministry. The parish's community is organized around a broad ecosystem of liturgical and charitable ministries including Knights of Columbus, St. Vincent de Paul Society, Women's Auxiliary, Detention Ministry, music ministry, lectors, ushers, and outreach to East County Pregnancy Care Clinic and Tecate Orphanages.

The parish is led by Pastor Rev. David Exner (since 2021) and supported by a small core team of approximately six full-time staff: a Business Manager, Bulletin Editor, Administrative Assistant, Music Coordinator, and Faith Formation Coordinator, supplemented by clergy and a large volunteer base. Its technology stack centers on the Breezechms parish management platform for online giving, parish registration, sacramental preparation forms, and event registration; Flocknote for email and text communications; and a parish website built on the CatholicWebsite.com platform. A YouTube channel extends digital reach for youth ministry content.

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary donations. Streams include weekly tithes and offerings collected at Mass, recurring and one-time electronic donations via the Breezechms online giving platform, designated special collections for charitable causes (such as Catholic Relief Services' Venezuelan Earthquake Victims relief and the Annual Catholic Appeal), and facility use fees for weddings, funerals, and events. The 2026 Annual Catholic Appeal goal is $21,215.00. Operations are conducted from a single campus at 2569 W. Victoria Drive, Alpine, comprising a main church building completed in May 2011 and St. Philomena's Hall (the reconfigured original church) used for faith formation and fellowship. Parish governance is independent at the operational level, but it falls under the spiritual, canonical, and administrative oversight of the Diocese of San Diego.
