Hello everyone...and a Happy Mother's Day to all of our Mothers, Grandmothers, Godmothers, Expectant Mothers, and all those who have "mothered" us throughout our lives. The Knights of Columbus will distribute carnations to all of you after Masses this weekend to say "thank you for choosing life!"
Our weekly bulletin for May 9th, the Sixth Sunday of Easter is attached, along with a copy of Deacon Steve's homily on this Mother's Day:
As we continue to emerge from the pandemic and gradually resume more normal activities, we encourage everyone to return to church! Consider joining us for morning Mass, weekdays at 7:30am, where the crowd is smaller than on the weekends. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Farewell for Brother Patrick
Trinitarian Brother Patrick Wildgen, our Coordinator of Religious Education, has been transferred by his Order to a new ministry in Texas, and he will be leaving St. Charles this month. His last day with us will be next Sunday, May 16th. Please join us after the 11am Mass next Sunday (on the plaza in front of the the church) for light refreshments, as we thank Brother Patrick for his service to our community and wish him well in his new ministry.
SIGN REPLACEMENT FUND UPDATE
As of 5/4/21 we had received $6,521 in contributions toward our sign replacement fund. Because of your incredible generosity, we exceeded the necessary amount by $1,021! These excess funds will be used for protective landscaping around the sign—to prevent future damage by any other distracted drivers.
A Grateful Thank You!
Deacon Steve Roscher, current Grand Knight of the St. Charles Borromeo Council of the Knights of Columbus, wishes to share the following invitation with all parishioners:
