Friends,
At our parish gathering on Wednesday night (which was a wonderful time of joy, community and connection), I shared how I randomly got on the intercom at the school the day previous and said, “My dear children, this is God. And it is 10:45 AM and you are loved!” As soon as I finished the announcement, I heard joy and laughter explode
in many classrooms. As I roamed around campus after making the “announcement from God”, many of the students were coming up to me and saying, “Hi God!” I thought that was so funny! I hope this brought joy and laughter to others as much as it did to me. Mind you, I have no illusions about the fact that there is only one God and it is definitely not me.
Besides the laughter and joy of the situation, there is so much truth to the fact that we are loved by God and we have an incredible responsibility to share that with each other. That is what the Eucharist is all about! Becoming what we receive! And the love that died for us on the cross, Jesus Christ, is the love that we are to be for each other. Again, I am so blessed by this community and how we roll out the red carpet for anybody who walks into our church and on this campus. I am so proud to serve here and I am undeniably blessed by your hearts expressing Eucharistic love in word and action daily. I see and hear the stories all the time about how you make the love of Christ real for each other. So, from my heart to yours, thank you!
CONCERT- Please come and enjoy a Christian concert by Kevin Toqe on Friday, October 22 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM in my backyard. You will be blessed and refreshed!
May the love of Saint Charles Borromeo community continue to grow!
+Fr John

All Saints Day
The Feast of All Saints, Nov 1st, falls on a Monday this year, so it is not a Holy Day of Obligation this year. However instead of our usual Monday Communion Service, Fr John will celebrate Mass that morning at the usual 8:00 AM. Please join us to celebrate all the good souls in heaven!

All Soul's Day
We will celebrate All Soul's Day on Tuesday, Nov 2nd with our 8:00 am Mass. If you wish a departed friend or relative remembered in our All Souls Novena, please complete an All Souls envelope, found in all the pews, and simply drop it in the collection basket on one of the next few Sundays. You can also drop off the names at the Parish Office.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And let the perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Your campaign support makes an incredible meaningful difference in the students’ school lives and truly impacts their experience here at SCBA. Your trust and faith in our leadership, our faculty and staff are deeply valued and appreciated.

The Tiernan Family
Patrick and Kimberly have been happily married for 16 years and consider each other and our children the greatest blessings of our lives. Patrick is a pilot and works as a Captain at Southwest Airlines and as a Colonel in the US Marine Corps Reserves. Patrick has proudly served in the Marine Corps for 23 years and counting. Kimberly worked as a CPA with a large firm for 15 years, but now focusing on our family as our most important priority.
We have been blessed with 5 children. Kourtney is 9 years old and in 4th grade. Joshua and Cade are twins. They are 8 and in 2nd grade. Lauren is 6 and in 1st grade. Brooke is 4 and in preschool.
We are actively involved in St. Charles Borromeo parish and academy. Patrick is the current Parent-Teacher Group president as well as the treasurer for the Pt. Loma Council of the Knights of Columbus, a fraternal organization that raises money and performs service for the church, school and needy community members. Kimberly leads the parish welcome ministry, welcoming newcomers to our community, and serves on the parish finance council, helping our church be good stewards of our blessings. It is our goal to raise kind and productive adults, who love God and each other. As a family, we love family walks, bonfires, beach days, surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, bike rides and books.
We are grateful to our St. Charles family (parish & school) for welcoming us and loving us even when we are loud and messy and real. This beautiful parish community is an answered prayer! We always feel loved at St. Charles.
