WEDDING MUSIC

If you are planning a wedding in the near future and would like to arrange for music, please, call the rectory two months prior to the wedding, and leave a message for Paul Light, our Music Director at (718) 987-2670.

For your convenience, we offer the opportunity to make your envelope payments electronically through WeShare. Go to our website (www.stcharlessi.org) and click on the WeShare link to join.

In light of the recent easing of COVID-19 re-strictions by New York State, mask require-ments are no longer mandated at Mass for vac-cinated individuals. If you are not yet comfort-able with this eased restriction, we have sec-tioned off part of the church for those who would like to continue to wear a mask and maintain 6 feet social distance.

If you have not already done so, please consider making a donation to the 2021 Cardinal’s Ap-peal. Thus far, we have reached 80% of our goal. For your convenience, there is a link on our web-site to make your donation. Envelopes are in the vestibule of the church.

There will be no book club meeting for the month of August. The next meeting will be held on September 16th at 4:00 PM. The September selection is “A Keeper” by Graham Norton. Elizabeth Keane returns home to Ireland after he mother’s death. Her home is packed with use-less junk and is a mess. However, she discovers a stash of letters...and ultimately the truth. This compelling family drama covers many issues that families encounter and stories behind them. If you are not on the email list for the book club, please call the rectory for the meeting location and further information.

New members are always wel-come to join our choir. If you are interested in becoming a member, please call the rectory and leave your name and phone number. Thank you.

9/11 COMMEMORATION We will have a short concert and “reading of names” before the 1:15 Mass on September 12th to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Sep-tember 11, 2001. After the Mass, we will have benediction at the 9/11 memorial on our church grounds. If you would like to have a loved one who was lost on 9/11 remembered at this Mass, please call the rectory with your loved one’s name.

WE PRAY...WE CELEBRATE...WE REMEMBER

And let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

BEREAVEMENT GROUP

The Bereavement Group meets every Thursday evening at 7:30 PM in the rectory. The time of grief can be a time of much con-fusion and many adjustments. Participation in a group often provides an opportunity to share concerns with others. Whether you suffered a loss of a loved one recently or in the past, you are welcome to attend our weekly meetings. This group will begin meeting in September (exact date to follow)For further information , call 718-987-0658.

St. Michael the Archangel is the patron saint of po-lice officers and military personnel. In Catholics writings and traditions, he acts as the defender of the Church and chief opponent of Satan and assists per-sons at the hour of death. The world can use prayers against the wickedness of Satan. Below is the Prayer to St. Michael. St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacra-mentally,

Come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there

And unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you.

Amen.
