Dear St. Charles Parishioners...

• 7 Church Pilgrimage:

St. Charles will participate in a 7 Church pilgrimage this Saturday, March 9, and everyone is invited. The Pilgrimage will begin at 9:00 a.m. at St. Isidore in Danville and end at St. Raymond Church in Dublin at 5:00 p.m. The segment at St. Charles is expected to begin at 1:00 p.m. As we visit each church, we will reflect on Jesus's seven last words. This pilgrimage is sponsored by St. Raymond’s Catholic Church
Fil-Am Ministry.

• Daylight Savings Time:

It’s almost time to "Spring Forward!" Remember to set your clocks forward one hour on this Saturday night to ensure that you don't arrive one hour late for Mass on Sunday!

• Four Pairs of Headphones in the Church:

Jim Oliver tells me we have four pairs of new headphones available in the Church. Some already know that the reverberation from hard surfaces in the building makes it difficult to understand the spoken word. The headphones provide clear sound and greatly improve speech intelligibility. These headphones can be found at the A/V desk. Contact Jim with any questions, and feel free to give the new headphones a try!

• Fish Taco Friday - NEW LOCATION!

I invite everyone to continue to attend and enjoy Fish Taco Friday, which begins at 5:00 p.m. at St. Micheal's Church in their parish hall.

• Family Rosary:

Join us on Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the Chapel for our weekly Family Rosary. This is a beautiful experience that will strengthen your relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.

• Holy Week Reminder:

This year's Holy Week is right around the corner! Be sure to mark your calendars for March 28 – 31, as we will come together to celebrate Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday as a community in God’s spirit.

Yours in Christ,

--- Fr. Augustine Joseph
