Parish Survey

Today we will be asking you to participate in a survey to help us understand who is attending SCB and provide us with timely and updated information. Today’s survey is geared towards the demographic profile of the congregation. We will compare this with the survey from two years ago to help Farther and the Pastoral Council plan for the future.

This is the first or two planned surveys. The next one, coming soon, will be asking you to rate the various ministries and activities we offer.

You can take the survey online at this link here. This survey is anonymous. We will share the results once the tabulations are completed. Thank you and we appreciate you taking the time to complete the survey.

On October 28, 12 new members were welcomed into our community in Baptism. This was the largest number of baptisms ever held at St. Charles at one time: according to Fr. Ed, the previous record was 11 in the late 1800’s. Congratulations and blessings for them, their families and their new godparents. All photos by Guy Noe.
