It’s time well spent.

Monday, September 7, is Labor Day and

the final holiday of summer 2015. (Remember “the

good old days” when kids went back to school on

the Tuesday after Labor Day?) So this Monday there will be a

holiday schedule at St Charles. There will be two daily Masses

on Monday: 7:00 and 8:30am; no evening Mass is scheduled.

The Parish Office will be closed on Monday. If you need

something from the Office (gift certificates for your Labor Day

cook-out?), please stop after Mass today.

As promised, now that summer vacation is “officially

over,” the 10:30am Hall Mass will resume next weekend,

Sunday, September 13. It has been my practice, since I became pastor in 1987,

to provide an Annual Report to the People on the weekend after

Labor Day. I have asked members of the Parish Finance Council

to offer a few reflections on our financial situation. That will be

next week, after Communion, at Mass.

Mark your calendar for the Pancake Breakfast

scheduled for next Sunday, September 13, after the 7:30, 9:00,

and 10:30am Masses. St Charles Youth Group promises a warm

welcome, great service, and a tasty breakfast of pancakes,

scrambled eggs, sausages, fresh fruit, juice, and coffee/tea, all in

the Lower Hall.

For twenty-two years, St Charles Parish has been

blessed with the ministry of Sister Denise Marie. Just one year

ago, Sister D shared some exciting news with us: Sister would

investigate the possibility of establishing a new religious

community of women. There was a great deal of background

work that first had to be done: legal concerns, canon law consid-

erations, and tax issues. All those tasks have been completed.

This month, Sister Denise—and several like-minded

young women--will begin an experience of community life in a

“house of discernment.” This is not yet a formal or separate

religious community, but it is an important step along the way.

Many people have donated needed items and Knights of

Columbus members have painted and made repairs to the former

convent at St Hilary Parish in Fairlawn. Sister Denise and the

young women have chosen to move in there.

Sister Denise will remain on the pastoral staff at

St Charles, but in a limited capacity. We will remain grateful for

whatever involvement Sister has with us.

We wish Sister Denise Marie and her pioneer

companions the very best and we assure them of our prayers as

they move forward. Their formal name is “Franciscans of the

Little Way.” Both St Francis of Assisi and St Therese the Little

Flower are patron saints of Sister’s undertaking.

St Charles Parish Pastoral Council will meet this

Thursday, September 10, at 7:45pm, in the John Paul II Room,

second floor, of the Parish Activities Center. Council’s Executive

Board (President, Vice-President, Secretary, and yours truly) met

on Wednesday, August 26, to plan the agenda and to discuss this

year’s Council activities and calendar.

The Laity Formation Board (Rich & Diane Liptak, Tom

& Linda Michalakes, Adam & Melissa Gecewich) for this year’s

seminary intern, Matt Cortnik, will meet on Thursday,

September 10, at 6:30pm, in the Rectory Dining Room. Matt is

scheduled to arrive at the parish this Wednesday and he will be

with us until April.

Congratulations and God’s blessings to Erin & Tristan Etherton

on the Baptism of their daughter, Lilly Della; to Jessica &

Andrew Fryger on the Baptism of their son, Maxwell Patrick.
