Blessings to all this Friday afternoon! Attached is our bulletin for this Sunday, August 21st, the Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time, and a reflection from Fr. Canisius.
This weekend we celebrate with the Vicino family as they have their son, Enzo, baptized. We also ask for blessings upon Vince and Carol Jordan as they celebrate their 63rd wedding anniversary. We thank them for their witness to the love of God!
Altar Flowers for this weekend have been donated by Vincent and Carol Jordan in celebration of their
63rd wedding anniversary.
(If you would like to donate flowers in memory of a loved one, or in celebration of a special occasion, contact the parish office at charlesst@comcast.net)
There is one regular collection this weekend.
A blessing will be offered for all students, teachers, and school personnel the weekend of August 27th and 28th at the end of all masses.
Also, beginning in September, Father will offer a blessing for all married couples celebrating anniversaries during the month on the second Sunday of the month at the mass of their choosing. Please call the parish office (410-486-5400) to let us know which mass you will be attending so we can reserve your place in the liturgy.
Our Sunday morning Religious Education classes will resume on September 18th, and online registration is NOW OPEN. Visit https://ourstcharles.org/children to complete your registration. If you have any questions, please Contact Allison Mooney, Coordinator of Religious Education, at 410-486-5400, ext. 209 or SCBReligiousEd@archbalt.org.
Did you know that we have a Lost and Found in the church? Have you ever left something behind in the church and thought it was lost forever? If you have lost something, we may have found it! Check the Lost and Found basket, located on the bottom shelf of the entryway table (to your right) as you enter the church. Any unclaimed items will be donated to charity, if possible, at the end of each month—so don’t delay!
Annual Appeal Acknowledgement and Thanks
Fr. Canisius received the following message from Archbishop Lori this week:
Dear Father Tah,
Congratulations to you and the parishioners of St. Charles Borromeo for exceeding your Let Us Give Thanks to the Lord Our God – 2022 Annual Appeal for Catholic Ministries parish goal.
Your commitment and that of your parishioners to the ministries of the Catholic Church is unwavering. Your parishioners’ generous gifts to the Annual Appeal are helping us to strengthen parish and school communities, expand archdiocesan programs of charitable outreach, and aid in ministries that allow our faithful to spread the Word of the Lord.
As I have often said, the Annual Appeal provides a direct connection between our celebration of the Year of the Eucharist and our call to stewardship, the generous response of missionary disciples. We are one Body of Christ and, as Saint Paul reminds us, we are called to give thanks and pray as we remain in His love. It is with this in mind, that I once again extend my deepest gratitude to you and your parishioners in helping to Give Thanks to the Lord Our God through the Annual Appeal.
Faithfully in Christ,
Most Reverend William E. Lori
Archbishop of Baltimore
