Peace my friends,
1. You are good and generous. I am energized by the millions of ways you love. You have been generous in your love and giving and you continue to be so. Gracias! Grazie! Merci! Next Sunday, March, 14th at the 9 am mass is commitment Sunday. You and I will again be Blessed by the BEST to give for the Kingdom of God that never ends! You will receive a brochure in the mail this week for your stewardship commitment. Simply fill it out and we will collect it as mass on Sunday, March 14th. God has been so, so good to us. Just look at the JOY and welcome of our community. Please pray about what Jesus wants you to give and follow his lead. Let us pray to be good stewards; that we will use all our money for HIs Kingdom and Glory. Thank you!
2. Enjoy this funny clip re. Confession! And no, I’m not looking for M&M’s.
3. Last Sunday’s homily was about AWE. Even with all our technological advances, we have lost our sense of wonder. We are created for AWE and nothing else will do. We are purified by the AWE of the Eucharist and we go out to purify the world with that same AWE. I leave with you now Rabbi Joshua Abraham Heschel Prayer for AWE:
“Dear Lord, grant me the grace of wonder. Surprise me, amaze me, awe me in every crevice of your universe. Delight me to see how your Christ plays in ten thousand places, lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his, to the Father through features of men’s faces. Each day enrapture me with your marvelous things without number. I do not ask to see the reason for it all; I only ask to share in the wonder of it all.”

Blessed by the Best Program
This week you will receive a brochure introducing our Blessed By the Best Program. Our community spent the last several months responding to the historical crisis in so many ways. I’m proud to be to part of the St Charles Borromeo Church community. On Commitment Sunday, March 14, I invite everyone to join together and participate in securing our parish’s future. I ask that you please review this brochure and prayerfully consider how you and your family can help St Charles Borromeo Church by financially supporting our ministries, furthering our mission, and reinforcing our future.
We ask that all faithful parishioners complete a Commitment Card. A card will be included in the brochure mailing for you to:
· mail to the church using the pre-addressed envelope included in this mailing.
· or bring your card to Mass next Sunday.
electronic Commitment Card.
The back of the Commitment Card has a place for you to include any prayer intentions you wish to share. We welcome all intentions and they will be prayed over during Prayer of the Faithful at Mass. If you'd like to jump ahead of the game, we have provided a link below to an electronic card. Your commitment is only a click away!
Our goal is 100% participation! Thank you for your generosity and support of St Charles Borromeo Church!
Father John
