St. Charles Borromeo has been the foundation of this community’s faith life for 175 years. Under this roof, we cried at weddings, mourned at funerals, and laughed together at parish gatherings.
Send us your memories. We are planning a slideshow for our 175th anniversary banquet. We are looking for more photos to include. We have a good selection from 2009 to the present, but are interested in the years before 2009. We’d appreciate it if you take out your photo albums, scroll your digital photos, and send us your favorite moments from St. Charles Borromeo Church and School.
Please save the dates for parish gatherings this fall. Fall Cookout: Our fall parish cookout will be on Sunday, September 15 after the 11:15 AM Mass. Eat, drink, celebrate Catechetical Sunday, and enjoy fellowship with your fellow parishioners and our Brooklyn Heights community!
175th Anniversary: This fall, we will mark the 175th anniversary of our parish with a month of celebrations:
November 3, 2024 – Feast of St. Charles Mass
November 14, 2024 – Parish Anniversary Dinner held at The Watermark (21 Clark St.)
November 24, 2024 – Choir Concert
December 1, 2024 – 175th Anniversary Mass celebrated by Bishop Robert Brennan
We are looking for several more people to join the planning committee for this important milestone. If you are interested, please contact the rectory, [email protected].
Today, I’m honored to have some of my family here at this mass. I won’t point them out, so I won’t not embarrass them too much, but it’s always a great time, especially during 4th of July when there’s lots of gatherings and parties and things like that. You get to see a lot of different families, lots of different people.
Thank you to Beth Liou, James Maleady, and Alsatia Ragusa, who are joining the Parish Pastoral Council to serve our parish. Below are brief bios to help you get to know the new members.
Beth Liou has been a parish member at St. Charles since moving to Brooklyn Heights with her husband Eric in 2002. She has served in various roles, including as a catechist, an usher during reopening, and currently as a lector. Her sons Frank and Paul attended the Family Faith program and received their sacraments at St. Charles while also serving as altar servers. With the boys now grown, Beth is able to devote more time to parish activities, and is eager to serve the community in helping to increase opportunities for fellowship, outreach and faith development. Outside of parish activities, Beth works as a senior markets editor at Bloomberg News and is an avid runner, reader and Yankees/NY Giants fan.
