Angel Wings Thrift and Gift Shop in Sonoita

By Carissa Krautscheid

For many years not so long ago, Catholics in Sonoita, Arizona, did not have a church to gather in. They met in various buildings across town until they decided they needed a church of their own. The Catholic people of Sonoita gathered together to raise enough money to fund this project. They saw a need in their community and stepped up to address it.

Today, parishioners gather together at Our Lady of the Angels Mission Church, a delightfully colorful and bright place of worship.

Locals still enjoy the main source of their fundraising: Angel Wings Thrift and Gift Shop, located just up the hill from the church in Sonoita. Angel Wings features high-quality new and vintage items at bargain prices. Because they have been so successful, Angel Wings is now able to give back to the community by supporting other local charities.

See some of the faces and scenery of the Catholic Church in this video, and take a drive to the charming community in Sonoita.

Angel Wings Thrift and Gift Shop is open on Thursdays through Saturdays from 10am to 2pm. Mass at Our Lady of the Angels Mission Church takes place on Wednesdays at 9am and Sundays at 8am.
