Join in our 13^th Annual St. Charles, Custom House, and Brooklyn Queens Catholic Charities toy drive.
Our Parish is one of four “super collection” sites for Brooklyn Queens Catholic Charities. All items collected from our parish are added to the donations that Custom House Restaurant patrons contribute to provide joy to children on Christmas morning.

You can donate toys, diapers, and baby layette items in the boxes at the back of the church. Donations will be on display at Custom House on Saturday, December 14 during the afternoon before being picked up by Catholic Charities for distribution during the week.

For the seventh year, we are working with HeartShare St. Vincent’s Services (HSVS) to provide gift cards for young people leaving foster care. You can give online, stcharlesbklyn.org/christmaschildren, or drop off a check in the collection box or with the rectory.

Our 175th Anniversary Banquet is this Sunday, November 10. The ticket sale has now ended.

We are looking forward to celebrating fellow parishioners, present and past pastors, and friends of the parish.

Location: 55 Cranberry Street  (lower hall of Assumption Church)

On Saturday, November 2, we will celebrate a memorial Mass for All Souls’ Day at 9 AM.

St. Charles Borromeo has been the foundation of this community’s faith life for 175 years. Under this roof, we cried at weddings, mourned at funerals, and laughed together at parish gatherings.

Send us your memories. We are planning a slideshow for our 175th anniversary banquet. We are looking for more photos to include. We have a good selection from 2009 to the present, but are interested in the years before 2009. We’d appreciate it if you take out your photo albums, scroll your digital photos, and send us your favorite moments from St. Charles Borromeo Church and School.
