Planning on attending Mass on Christmas Eve at St. Charles Borromeo? If so, we’d welcome your input as we finalize our Mass schedule for the remainder of 2019.

On Tuesday, December 24, we will have a 5 p.m. Christmas Eve Family Mass and also plan to have a later Mass. Last year, the later Mass was said at midnight, but few of our parishioners attended. We are evaluating whether there is a better time. Provide your input via the below survey, which will remain open until September 2.
