Hello, St. Charles Borromeo Family:
Today is election day! I want to remind you to drop off your ballot at an official drop box or vote in person at your assigned polling place. Vote centers will remain open until 8:00 tonight. Your vote counts!
On another topic, I look forward to seeing you this Thursday evening, November 10, for the second session of my new Adult Bible Study Series. Be sure to join me on Zoom at 7:00, when we will explore “TORAH: How Our Faith Began.”
For those who participated in last week's Adult Bible Study, you may download the HANDOUT for SESSION #1, which will also be used for Session #2. For those who could not attend last week, you may watch the video here.
Lastly, if you missed my article “I Believe ... in the Resurrection of the Body” in last week's bulletin, you can find it here.
Blessings, Everyone!
-- Father Kwame

Letter of Appreciation from Fr. Joshua
Greetings from Ghana!
I have arrived safely in Accra and have since returned to work.
This letter comes to thank you, the cherished parishioners of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Community, for giving me the opportunity to offer pastoral service among you. I appreciate your community spirit, faith, lively liturgies, and sense of kindness and love.
I have learned a lot from you and, hopefully, have also shared experiences of my faith journey to enrich yours.
With a heart full of gratitude, I ask the good Lord to bless one and all, and may our mother always intercede for us.
Yours in service of the Divine Word,
Fr. Joshua Awienagua Gariba

"The Story Behind Dress A Girl"
When one thinks of Dress A Girl Around the World, one cannot help but think of Suzanne Beck. They are synonymous. Suzanne is the Bay Area Ambassador for Dress A Girl.
After an unexpected life-changing event, Suzanne relied on prayer to get her through the difficult months and find a creative way to minister to other people. Her prayers were answered by way of a Dress A Girl website she just happened to stumble across. She gathered a few friends and led her first sew fest in May 2011.
Today, there are over 300 women involved in making simple dresses for little girls in third-world countries.
Suzanne is a freelance proofreader for Catholic Answers, an online media ministry serving Christ by explaining the Catholic Faith. Suzanne holds a master’s degree in theology / theological studies from Augustine Institute, and a bachelor’s degree in biology from Indiana State University.
