Dear Saint Charles Borromeo family,
I invite everyone to join me on Zoom this evening at 7:00 pm for the seventh session of our bible study series titled "Meet Lady Wisdom". You may download the handout beforehand, and join us on Zoom by clicking HERE at 7:00 pm.
Background information: We often read from the Bible’s wisdom books, but many of us are not aware of a “wisdom tradition” in the Bible. Yet, like other scriptures, the Bible offers us a culture, tradition, or heritage of how to be wise.
We will discuss divine wisdom in the following books of the Bible: Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, Ecclesiasticus (Sirach or Wisdom of Ben Sira), Wisdom of Solomon, Song of Songs, and some New Testament texts. Tonight we will be discussing Ecclesiastes.
I look forward to seeing everyone this evening!
Blessings,
-- Fr. Kwame

CONCERN AMERICA CRAFT SALE
December 4th at 6:00 pm
December 5th at 10:30 am and 12:30 pm
St. Charles Borromeo will host a Craft Sale featuring unique, quality handcrafts that provide us with the opportunity to purchase conscientiously. The gifts we find for special events, holidays, or to brighten our own homes are an exchange of caring with impoverished communities in developing countries.
This year we have many new crafts from Bangladesh, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico. Inspired by nature, these beautifully handcrafted textiles, ceramics, and wood products honor indigenous traditions, and were selected to be reminders that when a Concern America product is purchased we are providing a source of income to materially poor communities; promoting human-scale endeavors; eco-friendly work patterns; and fair working conditions. You may view a selection of their crafts on their website: www.concernamerica.org
Concern America is an international development organization based in Santa Ana, CA. For more information please contact (714) 953-8575.
