Fr. Ed Retirement Celebration
Fr. Ed celebrated his last mass as pastor on January 31. After each mass that day, there was a retirement celebration at the Parish Center. He received an honorary doctorate in humane letters from St. Francis College earlier this month. Fr. Ed will still be resident at St. Charles, so we hope to have him share many more years with us.

Lenten Reading Program: This year’s selection is Discovering Your Dream by Gerald Fagin, SJ. Fr. Fagin uses St. Ignatius’s principles of the Spiritual Exercises, coupled with an Ignatian approach to decision making, to guide us through a discernment process that truly satisfies our deepest desires and brings us closer to God. He shows readers how St. Ignatius’s own decision-making process can be molded to meet the needs of our faith and lead us to our truest selves that God desires for all of us. Books will be on sale after each Mass. The requested donation is $5.
Lenten Daily Meditation: Living Lent With Mercy. Daily prayer and meditation bring blessings.
Lent is earlier this year so please begin to think about the Lenten sacrifices and prayers which will make this a most special Lent.
