Daily Evangelization

St. Charles Borromeo Church February 17, 2019

Church Fire Update #5: Work has begun in

earnest, cleaning the walls of our church. It is a

massive and painstaking job. The two questions I am

asked most frequently are “Have they caught the

person(s) who started the fire?” The answer is “Not

yet!” Law enforcement officials at all levels (local, state, and

federal) have been most helpful and are following up on several

leads. The second question is “How long will it take to finish the

clean-up job?” And the answer is “We don’t know!” We do

hope to “return to normal” by Holy Week and Easter. Keep

those fingers crossed! I will continue to share with you any

news I hear. “What I know, you will know!”

Just a reminder: Monday to Friday daily Masses (7:00am

and 7:00pm) and Tuesday and Thursday (8:30am) are in the

Borromeo Room, first floor, Parish Activities Center. Friday

8:30am Mass is in the Corrigan Gym. If there is NO SCHOOL

on a Friday (due to snow or cold cancellation or no classes

scheduled that day) the 8:30am Mass will be in the Borromeo

Room

Here’s a final reminder about this Monday’s February 18,

Ladies Guild Day of Recollection. Our guest speaker will be

Sister Mary Ann Flannery. Men and women are welcome to

attend. Join us for a Continental Breakfast, served from 9:00 till

10:00am. Bring a brown bag lunch or enjoy a meal for a $2.00

charge. It all will happen in the Lower Parish Hall. You’ll be

on your way by 3:00pm. That’s Presidents’ Day--there’s no

school; so the Charles Avenue parking lot is all yours.

The 2019 Catholic Charities Campaign is well underway.

If you did not fill out a Charities envelope at Mass last weekend,

please do so today. You will find Catholic Charities materials at

the end of the pews. You may give a one-time gift, or pledge

over a ten- month period. Return your completed Catholic

Charities pledge form in the regular offertory; we will forward

all materials to the Charities Office. Remember, "the one in need

may be Christ indeed.” Thank you for your continued generosity

to the many causes that support the corporal works of mercy, in

our parish, in our neighborhood, and in our Diocese.

Last fall, several parishioners asked about a Summer 2019

Irish Tour. The number of those who eventually signed up did

not meet the minimum number required, so the Summer 2019

Tour is not going to happen. However, Summer 2020 is another

matter. On Saturday, August 29, 2020, the University of Notre

Dame and the U.S. Naval Academy will face-off at a football

game in Aviva Stadium, Dublin. We are now planning an Irish

Tour for that time. We did this in 2012, when Notre Dame last

played Navy in Dublin, and we had ninety-five fans accompany

us. (About thirty-five opted to attend the game.) Tentative dates

would be the last two weeks of August 2020 OR the last week of

August and the first week of September 2020. Check your

calendar and we will talk more about it this summer.

Ward Two Parma City Councilperson Debbie Lime has done

an outstanding job in coordinating the “Polish Village” concept

in our neighborhood. Anything that strengthens this area

certainly benefits all of us. This Saturday, February 23, from

5:00 till 7:00pm, plan to attend the “International Taste of

Polish Village” scheduled for our Lower Parish Hall. Call 440-

532-1823. I am told only a limited number of tickets are still

available.

Merici Chapel… We spend so much time in our

lives planning & preparing for special events,

weddings, graduations, birthdays, birth of a child.

Our most important goal as Christians is prepar-

ing for our Eternal Home. In a few short weeks,

Lent begins, so it’s not too early to start & think what we are

going to do to make this Lent more spiritual & faith-filled.

A good place to start is a weekly visit to Merici Chapel &

start our plans with Jesus.

All Men & Women are invited to attend the…

LADIES GUILD DAY OF RECOLLECTION

(President’s Day)

Guest Speaker: Sister Mary Ann Flannery, S.C.

There is a parish collection of new or gently used eye

glasses through next Sunday, February 24. Collection

bins will be set up in the entrances to the church. The

glasses will be donated to the West Side Catholic Center.

Any donations are appreciated, and they will go a long way

to help those in need. Thank you.

LENTEN BOOKS AVAILABLE Back in Advent, we made available copies of a

seasonal prayer reflection booklet entitled, “The

Little Blue Book.” These are published by the

Diocese of Saginaw and contain helpful daily

entries to serve as an aid to prayer. Anyone

interested in a copy of “The Little Black

Book” (Lent 2019) are asked to stop at the Parish Office.

Quantities are limited.

Join us Wednesday, March 27th (7-9pm) St. Charles Borromeo Parish Activity Center (John Paul II Room)

To learn what NOT to do, and what you CAN do to draw your loved one back to the Church.

“Drawing Your Loved One Back to the Church”

How many of us know someone who was raised Catholic but has lost their faith? Perhaps it is your adult child? Perhaps it is a sister, brother, parent, good friend, or a colleague? We want to reach out to them, we want to invite them home. But we are met with a range of hearts. Some are hostile. Others are apathetic. Many are unwilling to have a conversation.
