Card donations may also be dropped off in the Parish Office from April 21 st to the 29 th. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE CARDS IN THE CHURCH.

This weekend, April 29, is a Fifth Sunday of the month. Following our long-standing parish custom, there will be a second collection at Mass today for the St Vincent de Paul Society of St Charles Borromeo Parish. Last Sunday, April 22, was First Communion Day. Congratulations to our second graders and to their families. Thank you to all who helped to prepare our First Communicants for this happy day. Our Special Education Program will celebrate First Communion this Wednesday, May 2, at the 7:00pm Mass. Today, Sunday, April 29, we welcome Cleveland s new bishop, Nelson Perez for his first official visit to St Charles. Bishop Perez will celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation at 2:30pm for our eighth graders and for this year s Adult Confirmation Class. Welcome, Bishop Perez! Congratulations to long-time and faithful St Charles parishioner Gary Cirino, who will be awarded the St George Emblem in recognition of his many years of work with our Scouts. This prestigious award recognizes Gary s significant contribution to the spiritual development of youth in the Scouting program. The Award will be given this Sunday afternoon at St John Cathedral. And speaking of Scouts, congratulations to St Charles Boy Scouts Andrew Soos, Jimmy Fano, Joshua Koces, and Nathan Tohati who earned the Ad Altare Dei Award; St Charles Scouts Brandon Umstead, Steve Gademer, Joe Miklosovic, Jacob Koces, and Matt Marko have earned the Pope Pius XII Award. Next Sunday, May 6, is Polish Constitution Day. The celebrant of the Sunday 10:00am Mass will be Father Robert Ramser, a son of Cleveland s St Stanislaus Parish currently serving as parochial vicar at St. Ambrose Parish in Brunswick. St Charles is at the center of Parma s Polish Village. Anything that helps and strengthens the neighborhood is good for St Charles Parish. Many thanks to our local hard-working City Councilperson, Debbie Lime, who promotes so well the Polish Village concept. Attend the Sunday 2:00pm Parade on Ridge Road (from the Circle to Snow Road) and visit the Party on the Parking Lot at our Credit Union, 5839 Ridge, beginning at 3:00pm on Sunday. On Sunday, May 13, at the 12:00noon Mass, we will thank Sister Denise Marie for her twenty-five years of faithful and loving service at St. Charles Borromeo Parish. The leadership of the Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland has directed that Sister Denise Marie must assume a new ministry--sister must live and work at the Ursuline Motherhouse in Pepper Pike. So Sister is preparing to leave St Charles and take on her new responsibilities next month. This transfer was unexpected by all of us and certainly very disappointing, but faithful to her vow of obedience Sister tells me she is doing her best to carry out the wishes of her superiors. Make sure you clip-and-keep the May Parish Activities Calendar found in this bulletin. It has been a long, tough, cold winter.

SAINT CHARLES BORROMEO 2018 2021 PARISH COUNCIL CANDIDATES Please review the candidate statements below in preparation for the Parish Council Election next weekend (May 5 & 6). You will be asked to vote for no more than four candidates. As a husband, happily married to Melissa (nee Borsz) and a father of two Wildcats, Maddie (3rd grade) and Luke (1st grade), I am grateful for this Parish which has helped mold me into the man I am today. Melissa and I chose St. Charles after moving to Middleburg Hts. nearly 10 years ago, and are constantly rewarded with a vibrant parish community that is exceedingly selfless. An opportunity to pay that generosity forward is one that I take seriously, and would be thrilled to undertake. Currently I attend and volunteer at PTU events, organize the Post Cana nights, and help coordinate volunteers for the Carnival. As an active school parent, engineer, and former president/director of a local non-profit, I believe my diverse set of experiences and skills would serve the parish well. I have been a parishioner of St. Charles Borromeo for the past three years, and in that time, I have enjoyed seeing and participating in the many opportunities the parish provides for faith enrichment. I seek your vote for Parish Council so I, too, can contribute in the development of these important offerings. In my day-to-day life I am an IT Supervisor for a major paint and chemical coatings company, giving me experience working with others, managing finances, and representing the diverse needs of various teams. These attributes, when combined with my deeply-held passion for our faith, will enable me to effectively identify and represent the interests of our parish community. If elected for this position, my ultimate objective is to grow in my faith through working with others in our parish, and, in whatever way I can, help others also grow and deepen in their faith as well. I have a son, daughter-in-law and two amazing grandsons who live in Powell, Ohio. I have been a parishioner at St. Charles Borromeo for 21 years. I have assisted Sr. Denise with the Youth Group Retreat meals and the annual graduation social. I currently belong to the St. Vincent De Paul Dismas Ministry and the Holy Name Hot Meal programs. I am proud to be part of St. Charles Borromeo and am excited for the opportunity to serve on Parish Council to help St. Charles Borromeo in any way that I can to improve, grow and thrive. Thank you for your consideration. I have been a parishioner for 5 years. Both of my children attend St. Charles school; my daughter in second grade and my son in kindergarten. I was raised in Our Lady of Good Counsel parish and attended high school at Magnificat. I practiced as a chiropractic physician for 10 years and upon completion of my MBA, I transitioned into an administrative role assisting primary care physicians in the management of their private practices. The gifts that I can bring Parish Counsel include an extensive background in marketing and retention-based programs, financial analysis and organizational structuring. I have been assisting with organizing of the carnival volunteers and volunteering to assist the PTU with various events. I would welcome the opportunity to share more of my talents with the parish. I am a lifelong resident of Parma and parishioner at St. Charles. I graduated from St Charles school as did my daughters and two of my granddaughters. Since retiring as a nurse two years ago, I became interested in volunteering in the parish ministries. I am currently a member of the Dismas Ministry, St Vincent de Paul Society and the Cyrenians. I have strong roots to St. Charles parish and would consider it an honor to serve on Parish Council.
