Dear Saint Charles Borromeo family,
I write to inform you that, effective August 31, 2022, our Music Director and Liturgy Coordinator Hannah Newell has decided to resign from the position of Music Director and Liturgy Coordinator at Saint Charles Borromeo.
This decision was not one that Hannah made lightly. Through reflection on her life and ministry, she feels called to a different ministry hence she has accepted the new position of Pastoral Associate at the Catholic Community of Pleasanton effective September 1, 2022.
To say that Hannah would be greatly missed at our liturgical celebrations is a huge understatement! Not only her sacred music ministration, but we will miss her entire adorable family who has been a part of our Saint Charles Borromeo family.
As we grieve this huge loss, let us also be grateful for what Saint Charles has been blessed with through Hannah, the new ministry Hannah is being called to, and pray for her success. Therefore, mark your calendar for Sunday, August 28 after 11:30 a.m. Mass to come and celebrate a Farewell luncheon for Hannah.
In the coming weeks, Hannah will be working with me in search of a new Music Director.
Meanwhile, click HERE for last weekend's bulletin, which includes Bob Lindberg's introduction in article #2 of the summer series titled "Getting to Know the Leadership at St. Charles Borromeo".
Blessings, everyone!
-- Fr. Kwame

How are we doing? What are we Feeling? In today’s world of stress and suffering, there is a thirst and hunger for healing, hope, and joy.
Pandemics, Politics, and Pain, OH MY! San Damiano welcomes long-time master catechist, pastoral associate for children’s programs, and spiritual director, Margaret Riley, along with OCP composer, singer/storyteller, and humorist, Jesse Manibusan.
On August 20, 2022, Margaret and Jesse will lead a day-long hybrid retreat, cultivating compassion and hope. Through song, prayer, silence, group sharing, and listening, we’ll discover new ways to hold space for the good news and the difficult news; the blessings and burdens of life, and how compassion and self-compassion, are the way of Jesus. All are welcome. Come as you are!
