Dear St. Charles Parishioners:
On behalf of the St. Charles staff and parishioners, I would like to thank Reverend Valentine Iheanacho, MSP, a member of the Missionary Society of St. Paul, for presiding over last weekend's Masses. I also offer many thanks to Mary Hengl, Jim Lucas, and the parishioners who helped to ensure Fr. Valentine was warmly welcomed and cared for during his stay.
Last but not least, thanks to everyone who donated to the Missionary Society of St. Paul that Fr. Valentine represents!
Second Collection - Retired Priests Fund
This Saturday & Sunday
Throughout the diocese of Oakland, a second collection will be taken this weekend to support the "Priest Retirement Fund." While the day-to-day responsibilities of many parish pastors may not last forever, all retired priests continue to serve God!
We have been blessed to have many retired priests visit St. Charles Borromeo and preside over Mass. Supporting this collection is a way to thank the priests and honor them for their service. All donations are appreciated. Thank you for your generosity!
God Bless,
