Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time, September 18, 2011

Borromeo Unity Day “You could feel the Holy Spirit making us all one!” I heard and could feel how everyone was so uplifted who joined in the Unity Day Mass and BBQ—around 700 people all mixing and getting to know different people—each of whom are a blessing/gift from God to us all. A huge thank you from my heart to each one of us who pray and work to bring greater unity to our beautiful Borromeo family. A special word of thanks to so many people who gave freely and graciously of their time in the preparation and fulfill-ment of our Unity Day celebration: Brenda Galloy Joe & Gerri Kloeppel Manuel Guerrero Tom & Mary Harrison Carrie Kremer John & Mary DuBois Mary Baumann Dave & Julie Marsek Becca McCullough Chris Burgoyne Steve Cave Rogelio & Cristobal Guerrero Rafael and Toni Hernandez Richard Veit Dana Saale Jose & Guadalupe Damian Dick and Becky Albrecht Tom Callahan Jim Cope Kelly & Claire Dulle Benjamin Leon Mitchell and Colin Schaedler Cindy Haehnel Elvira and Arely Aragon Cecelia Shirley Dan Kelly Ashley Duran Marianne Rauch Veronica Lopez Linda Hart Veronica Bernal Luz Quiros David Bourn & Carol O’Connell Genaro Estrada Daniel Estrada Harriette Wayne Kathy Anderson Sandy Boschert Tim Haehnel Beth Norviel David Rodriguez Juana Ortiz Barbara Linson Amy Comparato Adolfo Zamores Selena Zamores Lucinda Lepe Maria Fuentes Oscar Fuentes Cristina Garcia Aracely Garcia Juana Ortiz Juan Fuentes Nereyda Silverio Dionicia Zamudio Mateo Montes Juan Saldana and el coro the Matachina dancers Mary Kutchback, the soloists and our adult choir To those of you I might have missed, please know that I am so grateful for all the love you shared in helping to plan for the day. God love each of you!

Stewardship Sunday WOW! What a Blessed Year God gave us in the 2010-2011 fiscal year. First, I praise God and thank you for our Spiritual Growth and Report: 80 Baptisms and 11 new Catho-lic sisters/brothers along with so many Sacramental celebrations and students and new members—131 households! Secondly, God working through your generosity and active support of Jesus’ Work through our Borromeo Family is in-spiring. Take a look at the Annual Financial Report later in this bulletin. You provided substantial increases in Sunday Offerings and Matching Gifts and Tuition which allowed us this year to hire Mary Kutchback for Ministry with our Seniors and Homebound as well as another full time teacher in school as a

learning coach for all the students, and more maintenance hours. We also chose not to raise tuition at all for this current year even though costs keep rising, such as salaries and bene-fits. Thirdly, check out the total report on the Capital Cam-paign up to now. You all have brought these buildings to the best shape since new. This past year’s projects were: Church Roof $44,896 Church Carpet/Marble $22,220 School Window Caulking $25,590 Parking lot new asphalt & crack filling $9,097 4 New Awnings $800 New Rectory siding/soffits (old was rotted) $6,752 New School Water Heater $12,000 And look for your name in the Appreciation Donor Book on the beautiful wooden stand in the Narthex! We need everyone who is able to continue donating in the Monthly Capital Improvement Envelopes for these and other improvements which will be inevitable: Church Windows and sealing of upper blue ones to stop water leakage $70,000 Gym Roof needs sibercoating $7,000 Gym AC compressor $5,000 Gym floor needs replacing ??? (Our SCB Athletic Association will help with this) God is truly providing so much of our Borromeo Minis-tries and work of Jesus ongoing here in St. Charles through you!

We All Miss Pat Johnston I am still in shock and so sad over our losing Pat. He was so gifted and caring and helpful—a true gift from God. My heart and prayers go out to Jill and their daughters Emily and Madeline and to our Choir, whose pain I cannot imagine. Thank you, Lord, for the times and praise we shared with Pat (and with each member of our beautiful Borromeo Fam-ily). Thank you, Lord, for your boundless mercy on us all.

Parish Picnic in Two Weeks! We are all so grateful to our chairpeople who are so beau-tifully organized. What we really need now are many WORK-ERS! I hope everyone signs up to help, and it’s easy!

Pray-ers Needed! Have you tried giving an hour of time to pray to our Lord Jesus during Eucharistic Adoration? It is truly more a gift and grace of Jesus to you than you to Him.

Eucharistic Adoration at St. Charles Borromeo is held the 3rd Monday of each month (September 19) from 8:30am to 6:30pm, and we especially need an individual or two for the hours of 10-11am and 4-5pm. Please call Carol Pappas at 928-6722 or cap63303@yahoo.com.

With faith and love we entrust the soul of our beloved Pat Johnston to the mercy of God. In taking on the position as choir director in November of 2000, he not only led the choir but the congregation as well in praising God in music and song at our 10am Sunday Masses and all the major liturgical feasts and holy days. We certainly appreci-

ated his vocal talents when he took the mic, and his trumpet and flute playing filled the church with beautiful music. He was not only a talented musician, but a genuinely nice guy. We offer our prayerful sympathy to his wife Jill and their daughters Emily and Madeline. Funeral/memorial arrangements have not yet been determined.

“’ You too go into my vineyard.’” MATTHEW 20:4

In today’s Gospel we see how much Our Lord wants us to be co-workers with Him. Just as the Master went out repeatedly to invite more workers into his vineyard, so Our Lord continually calls us to participate more fully in the Church. Life on earth is short. How many times does God have to call us, before it is too late? Even the workers who entered the vineyard late were paid well. Do we want to be left standing alone in the marketplace for all eternity because we failed to fulfill our jobs as Christian stewards?

Invited to be God’s co-workers, we pray that we may joyfully participate in the work of the vineyard by sharing our time, our talents and our treasure.

Parent Support Network

September 22, 7:00 p.m., Bicentennial Room

Are you seeking support from parents with a child like yours? This network seeks to offer spiritual support, resources, and sharing for parents of children who have a physical, mental, educational, or emotional disability. Maybe your child is experiencing difficulties from autism, physical dis-abilities, adoption, divorce, or family illness. Perhaps you have lived and learned from these situations and want to share your knowledge with other parents. We are a group of parents desiring to have a place to share our thoughts, feelings, and needs and to give each other support in dealing with situations we may have in any part of our lives! We want to establish a network of sup-port and resources to help us be better parents in our Chris-tian community. Join us as we gather in September to start this network. Confidentiality is a given! What is shared in this network of parents will stay with the network! Join us on September 22 to help us kick off this faith-based network. Babysitting provided!

Welcome to St. Charles Borromeo Parish!

St. Charles Borromeo School

Dear Parishioners:

During this coming week our students in grades 3-8 will be taking the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, the standardized test used by the Archdiocese to help teachers, parents, and students assess growth in academics and areas in need of improvement. Unlike our colleagues in public schools, these tests are not used to measure the effectiveness of the school itself. The intent has always been to be one tool of many that we use to formulate a picture of student progress. Please offer your prayers of support for our students this week as they do their best to complete the tests.

I want to thank all of you who use your Target Red Card to apply to St. Charles Borromeo School. Last week we re-ceived a check for over $1,000 for last year’s rewards! Thank you so much! If you aren’t aware of the program, please inquire at Target how you can sign up. It costs you nothing and the benefit to us is great! We are so blessed to receive the benefit of a number of rebates and incentives such as the Boxtops for Education, Campbell’s Soup labels, and recycling of paper, to name a few! We are always grateful for your support!

God bless, Mrs. Ann Hoffman

Marriage in Christ has been promised between: Shaelah Whittaker and Jason McCartney

What is the RCIA?

A Journey in Faith

RCIA stands for Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. It is the process by which adults who are not Catholics are welcomed into the Christian Family in the Catholic Church.

Who is it for? All are welcome to join in the Journey in Faith. Many ordinary parishioners find the sessions helpful to develop their knowledge of their faith and their understanding of its traditions.

Perhaps you are married to a Catholic and wish to find out more about your spouse’s faith. Perhaps you are al-ready a Catholic and wish to grow more in your faith. Or perhaps you aren’t Catholic but have thought about becoming a Catholic. The RCIA Journey in Faith is for all of you!

Becoming a Catholic is not just a matter of learning and accepting a number of beliefs. It is a process of growth

and conversion. This is why it is called a “Journey in Faith.” It involves personal growth, as well as growing into a particular Catholic community or parish. For this reason each parish in the Catholic Church is responsible for its own RCIA process.

The Door is Open—All Are Welcome RCIA evenings are open to all who wish to find out more about becoming a Catholic, regardless of the desire to be baptized or confirmed at the end of the process.

Sponsors Those who want to enquire more seriously into becom-ing a Catholic will need a sponsor, who will pray for and support the enquirer in the journey in faith. The sponsor is meant to be a fellow pilgrim on the journey, and must be a Catholic. The sponsor may be a spouse or friend. However, if the enquirer does not know anyone suitable, the parish will be happy to suggest someone.

When and Where? Tuesdays at 7:00pm in the Bicentennial Room. Please contact Becca McCullough, Director of Reigious Educa-tion, 636-946-2916 or beccamc@borromeoparish.com.

RCIA: A Journey in Faith

Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time, September 18, 2011

SCB Religious Education Today we welcome the return of Children’s Liturgy of the Word during the 8:30am Sunday Mass. Children’s Liturgy is geared for children in grades K thru 4 and is designed to help children better under-stand the readings and the Gospel each Sunday at Mass.

“At one point, children were brought to him so that he could place his hands on them in prayer. The disciples began to scold them, but Jesus said, ‘Let the children come to me. Do not hinder them. The kingdom of God belongs to such as these’” (Matthew 19:1-14)

The priest dismisses the children at the beginning of Mass to the catechist. The children and catechist pro-ceed to the cafe where the children hear the readings, the Gospel, and an explanation in words that they understand. The children then return to Mass at a time when the interruption of the congregation can be minimized, for instance, during the collection.

There are many reasons that our Liturgy of the Word for Children program is so beneficial. An attempt is made to make the Liturgy of the Word more comprehensible to the children. Parents can listen more attentively to the Liturgy of the Word. The children can be given explanations of ways to live the Good News they just heard. The children become more a part of the Word, because they now better understand the readings and the Gospel. The program allows the par-ish another opportunity for catechesis.

Our Children’s Liturgy Catechists are: Mary Shelburne Carrie Kremer Monique Winkler Beth Norviel Katy Smith Linda Rathz Angel Taylor Anita Karase Maureen Prinster Aimee Koester Kari Wilson Tricia Hermann PSR in the Park! Look how we celebrated Unity Day last Sunday. Mrs. Saale teaches First Grade around the picnic blanket; our parish’s First Communicants connect their paper chain links together; and children held the chain during the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Ladies of our Parish—this is for You! Women’s Fellowship continues on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays from 6am to 8am in the St. Charles Room of the café. Women in our parish are invited to participate in the Bible study: Women in the New Testament. This study has 8 lessons, and as we learned from our previous gathers, we need time to reflect and discuss these lessons. So, we will take about 8 months to complete the study—answering half the questions each time we meet. This study will lead us into discussion and prayer about expectant faith, what it means to be touched by Jesus, and the meaning of discipleship through the lives of the women who lived in the first generation of Christianity. For more information call Carrie Kremer, 922-2564 or Becca McCullough 946-2916. The fall gatherings are September 24, October 8 and 22, November 12 and 26 and December 10! And Come As You Are is expected! No lipstick? - no problem. Too early? - we serve coffee! No time to do your hair? - we love hats! If you miss a week, or can’t commit to every week, we would still love to have you join us when you can—extra materials are avail-able for “drop ins.”

Welcome to St. Charles Borromeo Parish!

Getting Ready for the New Roman Missal Beginning November 26/27 A time for renewed attendance and participation and love for our Mass

“You are my rock and my fortress; for your name’s sake lead and guide me.” ~~Psalm 31:4

CRHP was an amazing experience. It was the first time in my life I actually felt the Holy Spirit working right in front of me! Watching and listening to people who have had Jesus touch their lives so deeply, opened my heart to so many opportunities with God I often overlooked. CRHP has made me a more patient mother, wife and person. It has changed the way I deal with life’s every-day occurrences. I am so grateful for the opportunity to attend! —Katie Hicks, CRHP7

CRHP fue una experiencia maravillosa. Fue la primera vez en mi vida que realmente sentí al Espíritu Santo actuando frente a mi! Mirando y escuchando a la gente a quienes Jesús toco sus vidas tan profundamente, abrió mi corazón a muchas oportunidades con Dios que muchas veces pase por alto. CRHP me ha hecho mas paciente como madre, esposa y persona. Ha cambiado la manera como yo en-frento lo que ocurre cada día. Estoy tan agradecido a la oportunidad de participar! —Katie Hicks CRHP7

Agradacemos a Javier Orozco de la Oficina del Ministerio Hispano de la Ar-quidiocesis de San Luis por su interés y presencia. Tenemos que sentir un gran aprecio y orgullo por nuestra parroquia San Carlos Borromeo, por la inter-acción de distintas culturas, por el deseo de conocer-nos más. Gracias, Señor, por todo. Un integrante del Consejo Parroquial compartió que en la Misa, en el momento de platicar con una per-sona de otro idioma, él habló con una mujer, inten-tando usar un poco de Español. Él preguntó a la señora si era nueva en la parroquia. Ella contestó, que no, que ya lleva 10 años en la parroquia. Él dijo, yo también, y esta es la primera vez que nos miramos. Buscaremos mas formas de compartir, de conocernos y de integrarnos mas en la comunidad de St. Charles Borromeo que Dios nos ha regalado.

P. Donaldo

Your Spiritually Adopted Baby… DAY ONE

At the moment the father’s sperm and mother’s egg unite a new and unrepeatable human being comes into existence, complete with his own unique set of DNA. Although he is only one cell, everything about this little person is already present: color of eyes, blood type, the height he will grow to be, color of hair—everything! He will play a role in his family and his community—a role only he can play! Nothing is added after conception to make him a complete human being. He already exists; all he needs is nourishment, a safe, warm environment, and most of all—love. His parents don’t even know he exists yet. Pray for them to safely bring their baby to birth so he can fulfill the mission God has for him.

Ladies Sodality News
