Once we have a list of volunteer greeters, a sign up

list will be available on a monthly basis. If you are

interested or would like more information, please

Are You Thinking

About the Catholic

Faith?

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…

- Matthew 28:19

One person at a time through faithful witness and

personal invitation! Share our Christian joy with

another:

who has not been baptized and would like to

learn more about the Catholic faith, and possibly

considers becoming a Catholic,

who is baptized Christian of another

denomination who would like to learn more about

the Catholic faith,

who is a baptized in the Catholic Church who has

never received Eucharist or Confirmation and

would like to complete the sacraments of

initiation, or

a child over the age of 7 who has never been

baptized in another Christian faith or has been

baptized Catholic and has never received

instruction on the Catholic faith.

Invite them to consider going through the Rite of

Christian Initiation for Adults and Children (RCIA

and RCIC). Through this process of prayerful support

and guidance, they will be fully initiated to the

Catholic faith by receiving the sacraments of baptism,

Eucharist and Confirmation. For more information,

contact Fr. Edison at 663-3230 x 102.

Flu Shot Clinic St. Charles Parish will be hosting a CVS Pharmacy Flu Shot Clinic on Wednesday, October 2 from 8:30 am - 12:30 pm in the Gym. CVS will handle all insurance billing for payment of your flu shot. Please be sure to bring your Health Insurance card(s).

Catholic Scripture Study for 2013-14

St. Charles Borromeo parish offers its 8th year of in-depth Cath-olic Scripture Study International studies. This year we will be

studying three Old Testament books: Joshua, Judges, & Ruth.

Joshua is the story of God’s chosen people being brought into the Promised Land, after Moses brought them within sight of the Promised Land. The book of Judges, written by the prophet Samuel, contains the history of what passed under the govern-ment of the judges who ruled Israel before they had kings. The book of Ruth, also written by Samuel, records the story of the Gentile Ruth, a convert to the faith, who married the great grand-father of David, and thus was one of those from whom Christ sprung according to the flesh. She was an illustrious figure of the Gentile church.

The course consists of 28 class sessions that begin in Septem-ber 2013 and end in May of 2014, with suitable breaks for holi-days and school recess. Each class will be offered in duplicate separate sessions–one on Sundays starting at 9:30 am. The same class is also offered on the following Thursday from 6:30 to 8 pm. Participants can attend either the Sunday or Thursday classes.

Registration (after Masses rear of church): August 31/September 1, September 7/8. Classes begin Sunday, Septem-ber 15 at 9:30 am, OR Thursday September 19 at 6:30 pm. All classes will be held in Room 8 .

Study materials cost: $50
