Please note this Sunday, July 18 is the last Sunday we will be also streaming the Sunday Mass on Zoom.
Most remote participants now attend via YouTube (where the picture quality is higher than Zoom). Instead of having someone dedicated to administering the wait room and monitoring the Zoom meeting, we would like to focus on other needs in the parish.
Our Online Community Mass is streamed live via YouTube. You can watch the Mass live at 11:15 AM on Sundays by visiting our YouTube channel or https://www.stcharlesbklyn.org/youtube/. Recordings will be available on our YouTube channel for later viewing.
This streaming change pertains only to our Sunday Mass. It does not affect our interactive parish events, such as the weekday prayer groups and book clubs, which are and will continue to be available on Zoom.

Summer Faith Sharing Is Back, Sundays at 5 PM
Our Sunday faith sharing is back for the summer. 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 meet each Sunday at 5 PM on the parish Zoom channel through the end of August. All are welcome, especially first time participants.
Mission Appeal Next Sunday
Next Sunday, July 11, we will be visited by a missionary from the Little Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi. Their ministry focuses serving those in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, especially the homeless, street children, the orphans, children with disabilities, children living with HIV-AIDS, refugees, elderly, youth, single mothers and those affected by the pandemic, which is currently surging in Africa.
The Little Sisters ask for our prayers and financial support of their ministry for the marginalized children who have been impacted greatly by COVID-19 pandemic. If you would like to contribute, you can do so through our online giving site, https://stcharlesbklyn.weshareonline.org/ws/opportunities/LittleSistersofSaintFrancis.
Below is more information about the Little Sisters of St. Francis.
Letter to the Ephesians: Focus of Fr. Smith’s Commentary This Summer
Last summer, the Parish Scripture Commentary in our weekly emails examined St. Paul’s “Letter to the Romans.” This year, the Second Reading from next week to the end the summer will be from his “Letter to the Ephesians.” This is an interesting letter with many insights for today.
Governance Committee for Parish Leadership Structure
Shape the future of our parish! We are recruiting volunteers to participate in an ad hoc Governance Committee to decide issues regarding parish leadership. In particular, the committee will meet just a few times on Zoom between now and September 30 to develop a plan regarding the number of members of the Parish Pastoral Council and Finance Council, the term limits of those members and our lay Trustees, and how to apply the limits to the current membership.
If you are willing to serve in this important, but not time-consuming, role, please contact the rectory by this Friday, July 2.
