Dear Saint Charles Borromeo family,
Be sure to read last weekend's bulletin, as it includes Debi Rose's autobiography in article #7 of the summer series titled "Getting to Know the Leadership at St. Charles Borromeo."
I would like to remind everyone that you are invited to attend a presentation by Dr. Normelena Rios, MD tonight at 7:00 p.m. in Borromeo Hall. Normelena's presentation, "The Importance of Mental Resiliency and Connections to the Church and Community," will be of interest and help to many of us. Come to learn about mental resiliency and the ways that our faith community is here to support you and your mental health!
Finally, we will be holding communion services during the week of Monday, September 19, through Friday, September 24, as I will be out of town during that time.
Blessings, everyone!
-- Fr. Kwame

One Mind, One Heart: Unified Consciousness:
The 2022 theme for the World Community for Christian Meditation (WCCM) is Unified Consciousness. This is not merely an intellectual or abstract issue, because the survival of humanity may well depend upon the evolution of our consciousness. The mind of Christ within each of us is the same mind that contains all of us. The meditator experiences this in real time by being able to see herself in others and others in herself. In this silent retreat, Laurence Freeman will explore the personal healing involved in unifying ourselves and others.
This retreat will also serve as an introduction and a deepening of the practice of meditation.
