Dear Parishioners,
• Small Faith Sharing Groups
This weekend, everyone will have the opportunity to join an existing or new Small Faith Group! During the Lenten season, small faith groups will be diving into and discussing “A World Undone” by Fr. Mike Schmitz.
We invite you to experience this book by joining a group of friends and discussing the Catholic faith. Belonging to or leading a small faith group helps keep our faith at the forefront of our daily lives. Make sure to sign up at one of the back tables within the Church this weekend and start your small faith group today!
• Coffee and Donuts will be Served This Sunday with a new name, new volunteers, and a new schedule!
Thanks to parishioner Kevin Lalor and a new group of volunteers, "Family Fellowship Sunday" (formerly known as "Coffee and Donuts") will be held after 7:30 and 9:30 a.m. Masses this Sunday.
These events are planned to occur monthly when possible. 11:30 a.m. Masses will be included if volunteers sign up to help. 7:30 a.m. volunteers are also needed.
If you would like to join the new volunteer group, please contact Kevin, as he will be most appreciative!

Hello, Everyone:
Our recent appeal to attract new volunteers was a great success thanks to the efforts of many people, including staff members Angela Schweig, Amanda Swinkels, Holly O'Hagan, Mary Hengl, and Jim Oliver.
I would particularly like to thank the ministers who generously gave their time to be recorded for the brief videos presented during Mass on the weekends of January 18-19 and 25-26.
These ministers included Charlotte McGee, Pat Goard, Gwen Harsch, Jim Lucas, Maria Gamulo-Owen, Sandie Hernbroth, Terry Mastrantonio, Diane Meredith, and David Hartman.
If you missed seeing any of the videos, you can select them individually from this page. Alternatively, you can click here (or on the images below) to view each of them in succession, beginning with the Music Ministry video.
Blessings,
Shannon
P.S. - I also want to thank all of you who signed up for a new ministry. I know it can be challenging to add anything new to our already busy lives. Your generous offers to share your time and talents are truly appreciated. Together, with God's help, we can do great things for our St. Charles community and beyond.
For anyone who would still like to sign up for a ministry, there are sign-up forms in the vestibule of the church. You can also fill out THIS FORM and turn it in to the parish office or to the sign-up form basket in the vestibule.
