The Church dedicates the month of November to praying for all the faithful departed, that God may hasten their period of purification in order to arrive in heaven - “May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.”
Let us also ask this month for St. Charles Borromeo’s intercession, the patron saint of seminarians, that Christ may inspire young men whom He is calling to the priesthood to respond generously and courageously.

-
There will be a communal Rosary prayed after school at 2:35 in the chapel Monday through Thursday for those interested.
Rosaries for CCHS: Parents, please consider signing up for a day to pray the Rosary for the spiritual needs of all of those at Charlotte Catholic High School - the students, teachers, administration and chaplain. Click here to sign up.
Praying for our Chaplain: A CCHS parent wanted me to share the following with you all regarding praying for our chaplain, Father Reid, and all his priestly efforts to build the kingdom of God, including at our school:
"Please join other Charlotte Catholic High School parents in praying a holy hour for Father Reid’s intentions as our school chaplain, vicar of education and St. Ann’s pastor and for the conversion of souls. We will pray the Rosary and other prayers requested by Father Reid and have time for quiet prayer as well.
Weekly Rosary Intentions: Normally, the rosary is prayed daily after school at 2:35, Monday - Thursday, and is open to students and faculty. It is prayed for specific intentions weekly, always generally keeping in mind the entire CCHS community. This week, our intention, inspired by Black Catholics Month, is for healing in our country regarding racism, that God would open hearts in our country to recognize the dignity of all people regardless of their race and eradicate any perceived or real hostility between people of different racial backgrounds.
