SPECIAL UPDATE:
To All Saint Charles Borromeo Parishioners,
I received a phone call from Vicar General Fr. Lawrence D'Anjou who informed me that Bishop Michael Barber has withdrawn the assignment of Fr. Christopher Berbena as Parochial Vicar to Saint Charles Borromeo Catholic Community.
Please keep our parish community and Fr. Berbena in your prayers. I look forward to seeing you soon and peace be with you.

Heavens Angles September Ride!
Journal entry from Sunil Assao:
We headed to our original destination, the Junction. The weather was great and therefore there were a lot of motorcyclists as well as bicyclists on the route.
On reaching The Junction, Father Kwame had a surprise for us. He led us another mile or so to a parishioner's house. Through a cattle gate and gravel road, we reached her house. Such a wonderful lady and beautiful house and property.
She had cold water and nuts and other snacks for us. We cooled down under the shade and she showed us a photo album of fires they had in that area last year.
Thank you Pat for your hospitality, and thank you Heavens Angels for another great ride!
Mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, act, make choices, and relate to others. Mental health is essential to your overall health and quality of life.
Sometimes life changes such as the death of a loved one, retirement, or dealing with a serious illness can make people feel uneasy, stressed, and sad. Many older adults will eventually adjust to the changes, but some will have more trouble adjusting. This can put them at risk from mental disorders such as depression and anxiety.
It's important to recognize and treat mental disorders in older adults because they cause mental suffering, and they can also make it harder to manage other health problems. Here are the warning signs of mental illness in older adults, Older Adult Mental Health: MedlinePlus
If you think that you may have a mental health problem, get help. Talk therapy and/or medicines can treat mental disorders. If you don't know where to start, contact your primary care provider.
If you or someone you know has thought about suicide, you are not alone. A person who may be thinking about suicide likely does not want to die but is in search of some way to make pain or suffering go away.
Risk factors and warning signs for suicide in an older adult:

Preventing Suicide in Older Adults Mental Health America (mhanational.org)
If you or someone you know is experiencing passive or active suicidal thoughts or has described a plan with intent to act, it is essential that you intervene and get help from a mental health professional immediately. Timely and appropriate intervention can prevent suicide and addressing issues sooner rather than later often results in better treatment outcomes.

WHERE IT ALL BEGINS – THE BOOK OF GENESIS (Three-Part Series)

"WHERE IT ALL BEGINS -
THE BOOK OF GENESIS"
THE BOOK OF GENESIS"
The Bible is rooted in geography and emerges from history. That geography is unique and so is the history revealed by the Bible. It is the story of salvation.
The narrative of Genesis opens in the Garden of Eden and concludes with the blessing imparted by Jacob to his son Judah. It will be the line of Judah that will bring the Messiah into the world. This epic narrative of Genesis will be presented and explained in each of the three sessions in October, November, and December.
We will wrestle with the idea of two creation accounts, a talking serpent, a race of imperial giants who roam the earth, and still other Biblical characters who seem to live fantastically long lives.
You will not want to miss this chapter by chapter and verse by verse exposition of Genesis. It is the book of the Beginning. What better way to ground your journey through the Bible? It will be me well spent!
Scripture Saturdays with Kevin will take you through the entire book of Genesis verse by verse.
