From the Desk of:
Holly O'Hagan
Communications Manager
Hello, St. Charles Friends:
I look forward to seeing everyone during our Thanksgiving Mass this Thursday at 10:00 a.m. As in previous years, we invite you to submit a sentence or two about this year's events for which you are grateful. During Mass, our lectors will proclaim each of your thanksgivings, in community, as a way to celebrate God's many blessings.
Although the Men's Club will not be hosting a Gin Fizz reception this year, we pray that this enjoyable tradition of fellowship will resume next year. In the meantime, their secret recipe has been revealed and is included below.
Lastly, on behalf of Fr. Kwame and the St. Charles staff, I would like to extend our deepest gratitude to you, our loving and faithful community! We wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and many blessings in this coming year.
God bless,
--Holly O'Hagan

Take a tag from the tree or category boards in the church and select from a variety of gifts (for all ages) or gift cards to purchase and donate. Alternatively, you may donate by check or online to purchase gifts for the tags not taken or returned.
Your generosity will support the following seven recipient groups:
- AN = Angel Network families struggling to make ends meet (provided by Child Welfare Specialists at Livermore schools)
- GV = Residents at Goodness Village, the tiny home community for the formerly unhoused
- CCEB = Client families from Catholic Charities East Bay
- DM = Children of those incarcerated at Santa Rita Jail
- TVH = Registered families supported by Tri-Valley Haven
- AVILLA = Residents of Avondale Villa Convalescent Home
- VCARE = Residents of Vineyards Health Care Convalescent Home
Each tag is labeled with valuable information. PLEASE READ THE TAG CAREFULLY, purchase the item(s) listed on the tag, and follow the instructions for how and when the gift card or wrapped gift is to be returned.
Do not misplace ornament tags. This is the only way to guarantee that gifts are presented to the correct recipients. Recommendation: Shop online or take a picture of the tag with your phone before going shopping. This will allow you to leave the tag safely at home.
