Dear Saint Charles Borromeo family,
Many of you will recall the Mission Alliance Process (MAP) Survey, which was recently conducted within each parish of the Diocese of Oakland. We are grateful to all St. Charles participants, as you represented our parish by taking the survey!
If you are interested to see the results, you may visit this page on our website, or pick up a printed copy in the vestibule of the Church.
Please note: Although the diocesan priests have discussed these results, conclusions and decisions have yet to be made. The conversation about these results will broaden and deepen through regional meetings (April 26-May 5), and deanery meetings (May 16-June 10), which will consist of pastors/parochial administrators and contact committee members. Therefore, the process is ongoing, and we will keep you informed along the way.
Meanwhile, if you would like to read "No Condemnation for Easter People", my article in Sunday's bulletin, please click HERE.
Blessings, Everyone!
-- Fr. Kwame

Each meeting lasts about 40 minutes and includes a brief discussion on a topic basic to the Catholic faith. You don't have to go to one meeting to be able to go to another. The meeting format will accommodate discussion, so please bring your questions. "Come and See" sessions are provided for everyone who is interested, including the following:
- Catholics who feel their spiritual formation has stopped and are not sure how to get it growing again.
- Non-Catholics who are curious about our faith.
- The first step for those who wish to explore becoming Catholic.
- Those Catholics who wish to complete the sacraments of Eucharist and/or Confirmation.
If you have a friend or family member who wants to learn more about the Catholic faith, we invite you all to “come and see”.

“Choose Joy”
Be happy – live in faith, hope & love
Join Zoom Meeting:
Jennifer is a writer and blogger. Her “Choose Joy” blog (choosejoy821.com) began in 2016 as a tribute to her mother, Joan, who had lived a life of selfless service to all and was in the last stages of cancer. Joan made one last request of Jennifer: “Please write about our family…what a great family we were and how happy and loving we’ve always been.”
Since the fall of 2018, Jennifer has been writing about her own health challenges due to chronic back pain. Thanks to her mother, she has been able to find joy and meaning through the pain that continues to this day.

2022 Bishop's Appeal
We humbly ask the people of the Diocese of Oakland to participate in the day-to-day work of meeting the needs of the faithful. The Bishop's Ministries Appeal supports the ministries that go out into the parishes – faith formation and evangelization, CYO sports, formation of priests to serve those parishioners, care of the retired priests, and meeting the unexpected needs of schools and parishes. Hear from Bishop Barber about the vital work your donations support through the Bishop's Ministries Appeal.
“Feed my lambs, feed my sheep’ refers primarily to Holy Communion, but it also extends to the ministries of instruction, catechism, schools, and charities; feeding people with the word of God, feeding people with the truth of the Catholic faith, feeding people with pastoral care."
