Dear Saint Charles Borromeo family,
I would like to extend a special invitation to all parishioners and guests to join us in our first annual Open House, this Sunday, October 16 after each Mass. The offices in Keeley center have been rearranged to accommodate the new location for Mary Hengl, our office manager. Our staff, Catechists, and ministry leaders are eager to show off their new locations and decorated spaces. Stop by for a tour and delicious Hors d' oeuvres. We look forward to seeing you there!
Meanwhile, your Mass attendance is still extremely important. Please help in supporting the Mass counts for October. 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 reach 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!
Last by not least, be sure to read last weekend's bulletin, as it includes Carmela Chy's autobiography in article #10 of the summer series titled "Getting to Know the Leadership at St. Charles Borromeo."
Blessings, everyone!
-- Fr. Kwame
