Greetings, Everyone:
Gratitude for Our Beautiful Christmas Concert:
Last Sunday Evening's "Hope for the Holidays" Christmas concert was exciting, sounded wonderful, and received rave reviews. John Angotti and his band, along with our Adult Choir and Teen Vocalists, provided us with beautiful and inspiring music for the Advent season. I offer my thanks and gratitude to all of them.
In addition to thanking our choir and teen vocalists, let us all thank our Music Director, Angela Schweig, for organizing and programming this spectacular event and preparing our choir and vocalists. Angela reports that your donations have fully funded the event, so I also thank everyone who contributed.
Meanwhile, we look forward to John Angotti's return to St. Charles, as Angela has arranged for John to lead our 2025 Parish Mission, scheduled for March 24 and 25. Be sure to mark your calendars!
Enjoy "Donuts With Santa" After Sunday's 9:30 a.m. Mass:
Be sure to bring your children to Sunday's 9:30 a.m. Mass. Afterward, stop by the Keeley Center Foyer for a glazed, or old-fashioned donut, and attempt to take a cute picture of your children with Santa.
God bless,
-- Fr. Augustine Joseph
