Saturday, August 15 is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Since it falls on a Saturday, it is not a holy day of obligation this year. We will celebrate a 9 AM Mass that day at St. Charles Borromeo.

On the first Sunday of each month, parishioners will meet in church before the Sunday 9 AM Mass to pray the rosary together. The rosary will start at 8:30 AM, but you are welcome to begin praying with us any time you arrive. Don’t worry if you do not have rosary beads, we can provide you with a set. Join us next Sunday before the 9 AM Mass.

Join us next Sunday, August 2, after the 9 AM Family Mass for Prayers for World Peace Sunday. We will pray a decade of the rosary followed by two prayers for peace.

Join us next Sunday afternoon, August 2, for online faith sharing. We join together to pray, reflect on the Sunday readings, and discuss our faith. It is a low-key gathering and there’s no need to read in advance or join every week.

We will meet Sunday, August 2 at 5 PM on the parish Zoom channel. All are welcome, especially first-time participants.

On July 1, at 2:40 p.m., with the help of four ardent adorers, St. Charles Borromeo Parish completed its 250 Holy Hours of Adoration in Commemoration of 250 years of our Nation’s existence. Thanks to ALL who have participated throughout the season.

The night before, over twelve pilgrims came and stayed after Adoration and Vespers to break open the Sacred Scriptures, drink coffee, enjoy fellowship, and pray. We will continue to meet Tuesday nights (6 p.m.) and urge anyone looking for deeper communion with Jesus through shared faith to join us!
