Listen to St. Charles Borromeo Sunday Homilies on our website... stcharlesonline.org Merici Chapel We all keep saying how fast time is going can t believe Christmas is here and gone 2017 is gone look how big the kids have grown! We look back at important events in our lives and say, I can t believe it s been that long already since. Before any more time swiftly passes, try and make special time for Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration. At the end of time, all that will matter is how much time you spent with Jesus while here on earth. Last Monday s Feast of the Baptism of the Lord brought an end to our Christmas celebration. The liturgical color has changed from white to green (the color of the new life we have in Christ) I hope that your holidays were holy, happy, and healthy. The generosity, hard work, and dedication of so many during the last several weeks deserve some formal thanks, so here s a Big Tip of the St Charles Appreciation Hat to: As always, St Charles Music Ministry, under the direction of Thomas Holzheimer (now in his twenty-sixth year with us) provided wonderful music. Thank you for bringing together the various choirs, instrumentalists, soloists, handbells, and sounds of the season. Mara, Dave, Carey, Dave, and Rose, worked their magic as well. Thank you to our many liturgical ministers who volunteered so willingly for special schedules and dealt with large crowds: ushers, Extraordinary Ministers, lectors, and servers. Thank you, Maria, for keeping the army of volunteers on track. Thank you to the eighteen parishioners who gave our church a thorough cleaning on Monday, December 18. I could smell that Murphy s Oil Soap for days! Thank you to Mrs Hamer, Mrs Zickes and Sister Patrick Marie and to St Charles First Graders for their wonderful telling of the Christmas Story at the 6:00pm Vigil Mass.
