Chance to Have A New God Experience
Chance to Have A New God Experience
by Sr. Rebecca Shinas, OP
This evening we will engage the community to listen to each other's cares and concerns. Our goal is to inspire a new perspective towards a future filled with hope as they share from the prophetic documents of Vatican 2, in particular, Gaudium et Spes (which means “Joy and Hope”), the title of The Constitution on The Church in the Modern World”.

“Our vision is to create a community-based tiny home village for those who have been chronically homeless. We seek to provide safe and affordable living space with meaningful life activity and an opportunity to earn a dignified income so that program participants are contributing members to the greater community.” Residents began moving in this July and the village now has all 28 homes occupied!

Let's Make Mary Fair Proud!
Mary Fair represents St. Charles on the diocesan committee that formed the new Disciple Maker Index Survey. We can make Mary proud by completing the 10-minute survey and becoming the parish with the highest percentage of parishioner participation!
Take the survey here:

You also have the opportunity to complete a paper version of the survey after daily and Sunday Mass. The paper copies are available in the vestibule of the church and in the parish office. You may also contact Mary Hengl at 925-447-4549 x101.
This survey is entirely confidential and will only be available until November 22nd. It asks you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and enables you to provide feedback on our parish’s efforts to help you grow.
Below is a wonderful article from The Catholic Voice about Mary Fair, the star of our church.
