This Thursday, October 18, is the feastday of St Luke, author of the Third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles.

To remember St Luke, next weekend, October 20/21, at all our Masses we will celebrate the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. Those of advanced age or those dealing with serious or chronic illness are encouraged to be anointed. In the old days this Sacrament was called Extreme Unction and it was the last sacramental experience before death. In recent years, our understanding has deepened; even as we pray for relief from our illness, we also join our sufferings with those of the Lord. If you plan to be anointed next weekend, please sit toward the front of the church; a member our parish Worship Commission will assist you.

9 SAINT CHARLES BORROMEO PARISH 5891 Ridge Road Parma, Ohio Phone: (440) Fax: (440) Website: Dear St. Charles Parishioner, Thank you for being a part of our St. Charles Borromeo Parish family. We appreciate all that you do for our parish by sharing your God-given gifts of time, talent and treasure. Your active participation in the life of our parish helps us to fulfill our vision and mission. It is once again time to renew your membership in St. Charles Borromeo Parish. Belonging to a parish is an important matter and we should make a conscious decision each year to remain a registered member. Fifteen years ago, our Parish Council and Finance Council, together with Fr. Carlin, held 45 Town-Hall meetings to discuss how each parish family could support our community of faith. Based on feedback from these meetings, we designed the My Fair Share approach to parish membership and support. Parishioners stated loud and clear that those who ask to be members of St. Charles are expected to help with the work the parish does and each one should do, their fair share. To renew your parish membership for 2019, please complete the enclosed My Fair Share 2019 pledge form (also available on the parish website) and return it to the Parish Office by Monday, October 22. To help our Finance Council budget for the upcoming year, please indicate how much you hope to donate to the parish in 2019, and select a payment option. This is not a binding pledge ; just an estimated total of what you are able to contribute. If you select the credit card or automatic withdrawal payment options, our Business Office will arrange the details with you. Within your family pledge form, please provide any updated contact information so that we may update your Parish Census record. This includes your current address, phone/cell number(s) and current address(es). ST. CHARLES BORROMEO PARISH MISSION STATEMENT We, the community of Saint Charles Borromeo Parish, inspired by the richness and diversity of our Christian heritage, and sensitive to the needs of one another, commit ourselves to the formation of an ongoing, vibrant, faith-filled Catholic community. The parish community of Saint Charles Borromeo will be characterized by an atmosphere of shared responsibility, opportunities for spiritual development, enriching liturgical celebrations, educational growth and social outreach. In addition to sharing the treasure of your financial support, parishioners are also asked to share their time and talent by volunteering to help with worship, service or education ministries of interest to them. For more information on available opportunities, see the parish website: Thank you for your generous support and participation in My Fair Share. Families that have not returned their pledge form by October 22 will receive a follow-up communication until a response is received.
