2 Oct. 4, 2020 St. Charles Bor omeo Catholic Church

From the Pastor / Noticias del Párroco

One of the many lessons we have learned over the past six months is the importance of community. In the midst of quarantining, social distancing, and working from home,

many of us have experienced a sense of isolation and loneliness. In our faith as well, it is important that we have a community to support us.

None of us can live as disciples alone. Jesus called His fi rst disciples to be part of a community, and it is the same for us. As disciples, it is important for us to be part of a community of other disciples who can walk with us on the journey of faith. Our parish forms our faith community, but in a parish as large as ours, it is easy to feel like just another face in the crowd. Many parishioners have experienced the importance of community through participating in a retreat program such as CRHP or Emaus. These faith communities are good, but they often begin to fall apart after the initial retreat.

Back at the start of the year, I proposed a new initiative of forming Discipleship Families, small groups for faith formation and spiritual growth. Unlike a Bible study, which meets for the duration of the study and general focuses on a particular book of the Bible, or a retreat group, which again is often temporary and is primarily focused around preparing for the retreat, these Discipleship Families are intended to be ongoing groups. They are intended to be places where people can honestly discuss the joys and the challenges of living as disciples.

Though the initial plans for the Discipleship Families were delayed due to the pandemic, I have been meeting with the parishioners who will be helping as leaders of the families. Now, we are looking for parishioners to join the families. The Discipleship Families will meet twice a month. They will meet on different days and times, depending on the availability of the leaders and family members. For the moment, meetings will be held virtually, though the plan is to have in-person meetings once that can be done safely.

As mentioned above, the plan is for these families to be ongoing groups. However, recognizing that this is a brand new initiative, we are asking initial members to commit to being part of a family for six months. Hopefully you will want to continue afterwards. You can join a family as an individual, but we encourage you to join with your spouse and children as well.

You may be thinking, “Is this right for me?” You don’t have to be an expert in the faith or feel like you are the perfect disciple. If you want to grow in your faith and are willing to be part of a small community of other parishioners who support each other in their journey as disciples, then you are the kind of person we are looking for. Whether you feel experienced in your walk with Christ or feel like you are just beginning, you are welcome in our Discipleship Families.

If you would like to join one of our Discipleship Families, or if you have any questions, please contact Fr. Dotson (636-946-1893 or [email protected]). It is my hope that these Discipleship Families will be an amazing source of grace and spiritual growth for our entire parish.

Una de las muchas lecciones que hemos aprendido durante los últimos seis meses es la importancia de la comunidad. En medio de la cuarentena, el distanciamiento social y el

trabajo desde casa, muchos de nosotros hemos experimentado una sensación de aislamiento y soledad. También en nuestra fe, es importante que tengamos una comunidad que nos apoye.

Ninguno de nosotros puede vivir solo como discípulos. Jesús llamó a sus primeros discípulos a formar una comunidad, y es lo mismo a nosotros. Como discípulos, es importante para nosotros ser parte de una comunidad de otros discípulos que pueden caminar con nosotros en el camino de la fe. Nuestra parroquia forma nuestra comunidad de fe, pero en una parroquia tan grande como la nuestra, es fácil sentirse como una cara más entre la multitud. Muchos feligreses han experimentado la importancia de la comunidad al participar

en un programa de retiro como CRHP o Emaus. Estas comunidades de fe son buenas, pero a menudo comienzan

a desmoronarse después del retiro inicial.

A principios de año, propuse una nueva iniciativa para formar Familias de Discipulado, grupos pequeños para la formación de la fe y el crecimiento espiritual.

A diferencia de un estudio bíblico, que se reúne durante la duración del estudio y se enfoca en un

libro de la Biblia en particular, o un grupo de retiro, que a menudo es temporal y se enfoca principalmente en la preparación para el retiro, estas Familias de Discipulado están destinadas a ser grupos continuos. Están destinados a ser lugares donde las personas puedan discutir honestamente las alegrías y los desafíos de vivir como discípulos.

Aunque los planes iniciales para las Familias de Discipulado se retrasaron debido a la pandemia, me he estado reuniendo con los feligreses que ayudarán como líderes de las familias. Ahora, buscamos feligreses para que se unan a las familias. Las Familias de Discipulado se reunirán dos veces al mes. Se reunirán en diferentes días y horarios, dependiendo de la disponibilidad de los líderes y familiares. Por el momento, las reuniones se realizarán virtualmente, aunque el plan es tener reuniones en persona cuando eso se pueda hacer de manera segura.

Como se mencionó anteriormente, el plan es que estas familias sean grupos continuos. Sin embargo, reconociendo que es una iniciativa nueva, pedimos a los miembros iniciales que se comprometan a formar parte de una familia durante seis meses. Con suerte, querrás continuar después. Puedes unirte a una familia como individuo, pero te alentamos a unirte con tu cónyuge e hijos también.

Puedes estar pensando: "¿Es esto adecuado para mí?" No tienes que ser un experto en la fe o sentirte un discípulo perfecto. Si quieres crecer en tu fe y estás dispuesto a ser parte de una pequeña comunidad de otros feligreses que se apoyan entre sí en su camino como discípulos, entonces eres el tipo de persona que estamos buscando. Ya sea que te sientas experimentado en tu caminar con Cristo o sientas que apenas estás comenzando, eres bienvenido en nuestras Familias de Discipulado.

Si deseas unirte a una de nuestras familias de discipulado, o si tiene alguna pregunta, comuníquese con el P. Dotson (636-946-1893 o [email protected]). Espero que estas Familias de Discipulado sean una fuente asombrosa de gracia y crecimiento espiritual para toda nuestra parroquia.

Join Us in 30 Days of Prayer Before the Election

This Sunday marks 30 days before the November election. Fittingly,

Oct. 4 is also the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of peace. In our current political climate, we invite our SCB parish community to commit to 30 days of prayer for peace and unity in our community and our nation; civility in our political discussions; empathy and respect for all other people, even if we disagree politically; and a well-formed conscience driven by the Gospel when making our voting decisions.

Sign up at http://bit.ly/scb30days to commit to 30 days of prayer with our SCB parish community. You will receive a daily email reminder to pray along with resources to help you in this endeavor.

“If two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father” (Matthew 18:19). We hope you will join us!

En nuestro clima político actual, invitamos a nuestra comunidad parroquial de SCB a comprometerse a 30 días de oración por la paz y la unidad en nuestra comunidad y nuestra nación; cortesía en nuestras discusiones políticas; empatía y respeto por todas las demás personas, incluso si no estamos de acuerdo políticamente; y una conciencia bien formada impulsada por el Evangelio al tomar nuestras decisiones de voto.

Regístrese a http://bit.ly/scb30days para comprometerse a 30 Días de Oración con nuestra comunidad parroquial de SCB a partir del 4 de octubre. Recibirá un recordatorio diario por correo electrónico para orar junto con recursos para ayudarlo en este esfuerzo.

Cash & Tech RafflesThe Picnic is not just an opportunity to gather—it is also the parish’s biggest annual fundraiser, enabling us to live our faith

through diverse ministries and provide an affordable Catholic education to hundreds of St. Charles children. Because we are unable to offer rides, game booths, and our traditional Chicken and Roast Beef Dinner, our Cash Raffl e and Tech Raffl e have become two of our primary fundraising opportunities.

We are asking parishioners to consider the amount they would have spent on ride, booth and food tickets, and increase their raffl e ticket purchases by at least that amount. Then, we are asking you to consider how much time you would have volunteered to the Picnic, and use that time to sell raffl e tickets to others outside our parish community. Thank you!

Tech Raffle - $5 per ticket or $20 for fiveGrand Prize – Insignia 55" Class LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TVSecond Prize – Google Nest Hub Max with Google AssistantThird prize – Swagtron T882 Electric Self-Balancing Scooter

Cash Raffle - $25 per ticket or $100 for fiveGrand Prize – $2,000

Second Prize – $1,500Third prize – $1,000

You can buy raffl e tickets online at http://bit.ly/scb2020picnic, or paper tickets will be available at the Parish Offi ce or the church vestibule. Bought tickets can be returned at Sunday Masses, the Parish Offi ce or through school. Drawings on Oct. 11.

Online Silent Auction - Donations NeededThis year's silent auction will be online, and we will have more details soon on participating in the auction. Until then, we need items for the auction! Your generosity in donating items allows us to raise much needed funds for our many ministries!

How Can You Help with the Silent Auction?• Can you or your company provide a product or service? A gift certifi cate or other goodies? • Do you have access to a timeshare? • What is sitting in your basement or garage that isn’t getting used? Beer signs, sports memorabilia, unused gifts?• How about your neighbors or family members?

To arrange a donation dropoff or pickup, please contact Jon Ewanio (314-497-0051 or [email protected]) or Gregg Jost (314-807-0386 or [email protected]).

In today's Gospel, Jesus once again speaks to

the priests and elders with a parable. In this parable, the landowner leases his vineyard to tenants and sends his servants to collect the portion of the harvest that the tenants owe to him. Several times the servants are sent to collect payment, and each time they are beaten and killed by the tenants. Finally, the landowner sends his son to collect his rent. The tenants, believing that they will inherit the vineyard if the landowner dies without an heir, plot together and kill the landowner's son.

After telling the parable, Jesus questions the chief priests and elders about what the landowner will do to the wicked tenants. They all agree that the landowner will kill the wicked tenants and give the land to new tenants who will pay the rent.

In telling the parable, Jesus is clearly

drawing upon Isaiah 5:1-7, which is today's fi rst reading and one that the priests and elders would have known well. The Pharisees would have understood that the vineyard represented Israel, the landowner represented God, the servants represented the prophets, and the bad tenants

represented the religious leaders. Yet Jesus nonetheless explains that the Kingdom of God will be taken from the unbelieving and given to the faithful. The chief priests and elders have condemned themselves with their answer to Jesus's question.

This Gospel reminds us of the importance of listening to God's word. God speaks to us in many ways—through Scripture, through our Church tradition, in our Church's teaching, and through modern-day prophets. Are we attentive and receptive to God's word to us through these messengers?

PRO-LIFE MARCH: Unfortunately, this year due to the pandemic, we will not be attending the march for Life in Washington, D.C. Instead, there will be programming in St. Louis. On Wednesday, Jan. 27 we will gather at “launch” sites for a guest speaker, teen witnesses, prayer and more! On Saturday, Jan. 30, we will attend a rally (hopefully in-person). More details to come. The cost is $25 due Oct. 1. It includes the 2 events and a giveaway item. We will still be selling poinsettias this year. Contact Kristin if you are interested in attending the march events ([email protected]).

Archdiocese of St. Louis Virtual Catholic High School NightsMonday, Oct. 5 | Wednesday, Oct. 14

sessions from 7-7:40 p.m. and 7:50-8:30 p.m.

Families should go to websites of the schools they would like to explore to receive instructions to register and receive a link to view each school's presentation for one of these four nights. See a list all Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese and more information at http://bit.ly/archstlhsnights.

We are called to bring the best of ourselves and our faith to the public

square—and yet today, many shy away from such involvement because our national and local conversations are fi lled with anger and harsh language, often directed at people themselves. As Catholics, we must model a better way.

Civilize It: Dignity Beyond the Debate is a non-partisan call to focus on the dignity of all people, even those with whom we disagree, and to put faith in action. This election year pledge civility, clarity, and compassion. Read more at http://bit.ly/civilizeitpost.

Estamos llamados a llevar lo mejor de nosotros mismos y nuestra fe a la

plaza pública y, sin embargo, hoy en día, muchos evitan esa participación porque nuestras conversaciones nacionales y locales están llenas de ira y lenguaje duro, a menudo dirigido a las personas mismas. Como católicos, debemos modelar una mejor manera.

"Civilize It" es un llamado no partidista para centrarnos en la dignidad de todas las personas, incluso aquellas con las que no estamos de acuerdo, y poner la fe en acción. Este año electoral prometa cortesía, claridad y compasión. Lea más en http://bit.ly/civilizeitpost.
