Diocesan Day of Eucharistic Adoration
Friday, June 7 is the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. On this day every Church in our Diocese is celebrating a day of Eucharistic Adoration beginning at 2 p.m. and concluding at 8 p.m. with Benediction. This special day is part of the Year of Faith which is directed toward sharing our Faith with the neighborhoods in which we live.
Please consider ‘signing up’ – either as a family or individually – for a period of time that you will be in Church spending time in prayer.
Sr. Helen Prejean – “Dead Man Walking”
Sr. Helen Prejean, C.S.J., author of the best-selling book Dead Man Walking, will be speaking at the Mary McDowell Friends School, 23 Sidney Place, on Wednesday, May 15 at 7 p.m. St. Charles is co-sponsoring her talk, “Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States”. Admission is $20. Books will be available for purchase, and Sister Helen will sign books after the talk.
In 1982 Sister Helen was asked to correspond with death row inmate Patrick Sonnier at Angola Prison. She agreed and became his spiritual adviser until his execution in 1984. She wrote about this experience in Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States. The book was on the New York Times bestseller list, the International bestseller list, and became an award-winning movie, an opera and a play.
Providence House Wish Baskets
St. Charles is helping Providence House welcome special needs and low-income tenants to much-needed safe, affordable, permanent, and supportive housing. In the back of the church are examples of bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen basket kits for these tenants. Each basket has wish tags that describe necessities that are needed to fill these baskets. Please take a tag and purchase one or more of these items. The Outreach Committee prays that parishioners will generously help provide what is needed to help set up their homes.
