ATTENTION EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS, LECTORS, & ALTAR SERVERS Copies of the new Liturgical Ministry Schedule are available in the Church Sacristy, Parish Office, and online at rotundasoftware.com/ministry/charlesborromeo R.C.I.A. The process whereby an individual is transformed by the Holy Trinity into Christ's body, the Church, and therefore, is Catholic. If you or someone you know is not Catholic but would like to fully accept Christ s invitation to live in my love, please contact Fr. Ryan Mann here at the parish or email him at FrRyanMann@gmail.com. Classes begin September 11 th and will continue on Mondays through Easter until Pentecost. Our traditional Happy New Year greeting is most familiar around January 1. In truth, for our parish, the New Year begins now: new officers assume their leadership roles, parish organizations re-group, the kids come back to class (and one grade higher), sports teams re-assemble, and we resolve to make it a good year. One of the most important activities to get underway for the new year is our Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). That s the process for adults to enter the Catholic Church. Here at St Charles, our dynamic parochial vicar, Father Ryan Mann, coordinates the RCIA team of priests, deacons, religious, and laity. RCIA sessions begin Monday, September 11, at 7:00pm, John Paul II Room, second floor of the Parish Activities Center. Each Monday evening session lasts about ninety minutes. RCIA concludes on Holy Saturday when the candidates are baptized or make a Profession of Faith, receive First Eucharist, and are confirmed. RCIA is for those not baptized, or for those baptized in another Christian faith, who want to learn more about the Catholic Church. Typical RCIA participants might be those who are planning marriage to a Catholic, those who have been married to a Catholic for some time, those who have a child receiving First Communion in the spring, or for someone who has been thinking for a while about joining the Church. No formal commitment is expected at this time. Just come and see as the Gospel says. For more information about this year s RCIA, give Father Ryan a call at 440-884-3030. Please share this information about RCIA with family, friends, or neighbors who might be interested. St Charles Cyrenians tackle a variety of tasks that we call the corporal works of mercy. During August, they ask for your donations of peanut butter and jelly. The Cyrenians make P B and J sandwiches that are distributed to the homeless in Cleveland. If you provide the fixin s our Cyrenians will pull it all together.. Please leave your peanut butter and jelly donations in the bins found in the church lobbies. St Charles Borromeo Education Foundation Board members met last Thursday for their quarterly meeting. St Charles Parish Finance Council met last Thursday, October 24, for their bimonthly gathering and reviewed the books and statements in preparation for the Annual Report to the People scheduled for the weekend of September 9/10. There is a September Parish Activities Calendar in this bulletin. Please clip-and-keep it as a handy reminder of the many things planned for St Charles in the upcoming month. On a personal note, many thanks to all of you who sent a note, a card, an e-mail, a phone message, or showed concern in any way while I was recuperating from my recent hospitalization. Your prayers and kind words have meant the world to me and have helped a great deal in getting me back on the tracks. I am feeling better, I still get a little tired, but I am up-and-around and getting some work done.

Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time August 27, 2017 THEOLOGY ON TAP HEIGHTS Every FIRST Wednesday of the month, young adults in their 20 s and 30 s are invited to gather at Nighttown in Cleveland Heights (12387 Cedar Road, Cleveland 44106) at 7PM to hear an engaging speaker reflect on some aspect of the faith while enjoying a pint and some tasty food! Each night kicks off with a social, which includes complementary appetizers and a cash bar, followed by a speaker. Admission is only $5. Our next speaker on Wednesday, September 6th will be Dr. Beth Rath, professor of philosophy at Borromeo Seminary in Wickliffe, OH. So often, people perceive an insurmountable war between faith and reason, religion and science, theism with rationalism. This perceived dichotomy is a lie. Come hear Dr. Rath defend the claim that the Catholic Church is, and always has been, The Cradle of Modern Science and the Guardian of Reason. Don t miss this brilliant speaker and amazing topic! Theology on Tap is a great way for young adults, college students, and newly married couples to go deeper in their faith and connect with other young Catholics in the area. For more information, please contact Fr. Patrick Schultz (216) 3210024 pschultz@communionofsaintsparish.org
