Dear Saint Charles Borromeo family,
October is here and, believe it or not, this is a very important month for our Church. This is the only month during the year when St. Charles has the opportunity to report the number of parishioners and guests who attend Mass both in person and online to the Diocese of Oakland.
Therefore, I am extending a special invitation to all parishioners by asking for your support in Mass attendance. Let us take this opportunity to invite friends and bring your entire family to St. Charles to worship. If you are unable to attend in person, please watch our online Mass videos. Let's extend our borders beyond the Tri-Valley by forwarding last Sunday's Mass video to anyone in the world who might find them to be helpful. I look forward to seeing you at Mass!
Meanwhile, be sure to read last weekend's bulletin, as it includes Amanda Swinkels' autobiography in article #10 of the summer series titled "Getting to Know the Leadership at St. Charles Borromeo."
Blessings, everyone!
-- Fr. Kwame

This year our presenters will guide and inspire us to strengthen our gratitude and generosity. All WINGS members will be gifted with a copy of Matthew Kelly’s “The Generosity Habit” to use for weekly reflection and generosity tips.
