November 4 is the memorial of our parish’s patron, St. Charles Borromeo. St. Charles (1539-1584) is the patron saint of learning and the arts, and of catechists. He performed many acts of charity and ministered to the sick during an outbreak of bubonic plague.

Please join us in praying a novena in honor of St. Charles over the nine days leading to his feast, Thursday, October 26 through Friday, November 3. The parish Zoom link will be open at 5 PM each day to pray the novena with fellow parishioners.

Don’t worry if you can’t make all nine days. The materials are available here if you would like to pray on one or more days on your own.

Fr. Bill’s final Sunday Mass as pastor of St. Charles Borromeo will be tomorrow, June 25. Please join us following the 11:15 AM Mass (around 12:30 PM) for a gathering outside the church on Aitken Place to celebrate Fr. Bill’s six years with us and to express our gratitude for everything he has done to transform our parish. We will have a cookout with burgers, hot dogs, bratwurst, veggie burgers, and more as well as children’s activities.

Rain Location: In the event we cannot celebrate outside due to rain, we will celebrate in the back of the church. Currently, rain is expected to start tomorrow in the late afternoon. Let’s pray that forecast holds and we can gather outside on Aiken Place.

Our Sunday faith sharing is back for the summer. We join together to pray, reflect on the Sunday readings, and discuss our faith. It is a low-key gathering and there’s no need to read in advance or join every week.

We meet each Sunday at 5 PM on the parish Zoom channel starting on July 9. All are welcome, especially first-time participants.
