Please leave donations in the marked containers at the entrances to the church. Thank you for helping us feed the needy. Merici Chapel We re always making a list for something, grocery shopping, kids going back to school, going on vacation, planning a party, etc. On one of those lists did you put make a visit to the chapel? Why? Doesn t that seem important? It should come before all other things in life! Give it some serious thought!! Those of you who are a little older and came to the Catholic Faith as adults might have received your education in the Faith in a variety of ways. One could have been personal instructions with a parish priest; another could have been attending a Convert Class. I remember, as a young priest, offering both options. For the last thirty years or so, those who are interested in joining the Catholic Church usually participate in the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA). RCIA is an eight month experience. Here at St Charles, RCIA is held on Monday evenings at 7:00pm, beginning in mid-september, and concluding on Holy Saturday in April. Father Ryan Mann coordinates St Charles RCIA. Evening sessions focus on prayer, beliefs of our Faith, and Catholic practice and tradition. Throughout the eight month RCIA journey, all the pastoral staff members offer various presentations. Who attends RCIA? Lots of nice folks! Some have been married to a Catholic for a while and want to share their spouse s faith, others are planning marriage to a Catholic; some have been baptized in other Christian faiths, some are not baptized; some have had substantial training in another church; some have had little or no experience of church. No commitment is expected upfront; as Jesus once invited people to come and see! To register, or just to find out more about RCIA, call Father Ryan at 440-884-3030. Please share this information with someone you know who might be interested. Our Adult Faith Coordinator, Brian Pelcin, begins his fifth year with us this month. Brian met with me and shared the many programs and activities that he will offer this year. As usual, they all sound great. One, in particular, really stands out. This is a DVD series by Jeff Cavins and Sarah Christmyer entitled Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible. Each presentation lasts 75 minutes. Brian will offer this program on Tuesday mornings and then repeat it on Wednesday evenings. Unlocking the Mystery begins September 5/6 and will continue until October 24/25. Details to follow in upcoming bulletins. Karl Kaiser was a long-time faithful and active parishioner; sadly, he died last year. He had served, for many years, as Chief Usher at the former 10:30am Mass. Karl loved music; his father taught piano in the old East Side St Timothy area and then in later years here in Parma. Karl particularly enjoyed, he told me, the great music program we have at St Charles; he spoke often, and always in a complimentary way, about our many choirs and musicians. Karl s executor visited me recently and gave the parish a $20,000 gift to be used to maintain the excellent music program at St Charles. So here s a Tip of the St Charles Appreciation Hat to the memory of Karl Kaiser and a word of thanks and appreciation to Tom Holzheimer, our Music Director, and to all those who work with him, that prompted this generous bequest. AM1260 The Rock, Cleveland s Catholic radio station, provides quality Catholic programing that is faithful to the teachings of our Church; broadcasts inspire conversion of heart and a deepening of our Faith and all the time builds up the Body of Christ. So tune in, 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. For a program guide, or just to learn more about the station, visit www.am1260therock.com or call 216-227-1260.
