Dear St. Charles Parishioners...

Survey Results:

I offer my thanks to everyone who participated in our survey regarding a new parish directory!

We had a good response, and an overwhelming majority feel the need for the directory. Your feedback is invaluable and helps us improve our services. We truly appreciate the time you took to take the survey, as it will help us to move forward. Thanks again!

Teenage Baptism:

Congratulations to the teenagers and their families on receiving the sacraments of initiation—baptism and First Holy Communion—during last Sunday's 11:30 a.m. Mass! May this sacred event mark the beginning of a journey filled with spiritual growth, love, and guidance. May the light of faith illuminate your path, bringing joy, peace, and blessings. I also thank Deacon Dave Cloyne, who prepared the teens and their families for this momentous faith event.

Baptism: Caleb Abdelaziz, Ethan Gilkison, Colby Greiner, Cameron Soares, Savannah Soares and Shelby Ford.

Received into Catholic Faith: Anabella Ortiz, John Gilkison, and Giselle Gonzalez.

Once again, welcome, and congratulations!

First Holy Communion:

During the 11:30 a.m. Mass on Saturday, May 4, 2024, about 19 children will receive Jesus in the Holy Eucharist for the first time. This will be a joyous occasion for the children, their families, and our Church.

May this special occasion be filled with love, joy, and blessings as you deepen your faith and embark on this sacred journey together. I wish you all a lifetime of spiritual growth and fulfillment. God bless you abundantly!

I also thank Debi Rose, Pauline Galvan, and all the teachers who helped to prepare our children for this important occasion.
