Dear Saint Charles Borromeo Family:

We are already in full swing with this year's space adventure themed Vacation Bible School. Each day our children are learning about Jesus' love, enjoying outside games, and building new friendships.

Join me and pray that this weeks' VBS strengthens relationships, opens hearts, and brings the children, their families, and our volunteers closer to the love of Christ.

May God bless all of the children,

- Fr. Kwame

PS On behalf of our Faith Formation staff, I would like to thank the Knights of Columbus for their generous donations in support of St. Charles' Vacation Bible School.
