I’m looking to learn more about Guardian Angels. What kind of Church teaching is there on the matter? Also, if anyone has any recommendations for books, I would love to hear them.

Here’s a link to New Advent’s Catholic Encyclopedia. Its a very useful resource.

That guardian angels exist and watch over each of us does appear to be a doctrine of the Church, per CCC 335 and 336.
The Catholic Encyclopedia also has more on the nature of guardian angels.

I have the book “Angels Among Us” by Ron Rhodes available here
ronrhodes.org/angels_among_us.htm
and I would recommend it to anyone. It’s not particularly about guardian angels, but goes into the hierarchy of angels. It debunks the popular “angelology” fad and teaches about real angels, based on scripture. Definitely worth a read.

Some time ago I was surprised to learn that Guardian Angels is not a defined Church teaching, as The Catholic Encyclopedia states:
On the other hand, the continuous belief of the members of the Church in this over most/all of the Church’s history is a strong evidence for its truth. It derives from Jesus’ statement regarding the children.
I see that while the CCC states a belief in Guardian Angels they do not quote any official Church document on the subject.

Does Celestial Hierarchy by Pseudo-Dionysius, perhaps the greatest work on angelology, have anything regarding guardian angels?
