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.

Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Ephesians 2:13-18
July 18, 2021
Last week we began our reading of “The Letter to the Ephesians” by examining the majestic opening blessing. We suggested that we view it as an overture previewing many of the letter’s themes. Today, we will look at what it means to be chosen and how this is accomplished through the “blood of Jesus.”

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.
15th Sunday Ordinary Time – Homily (Fr. Gribowich)
Good morning, everyone.

Now, this is kind of a little surprising because usually when we think of people who have authority, they have somehow earned it, meaning that they have the proper amount of education, the proper amount of skills.
They may even have a certain type of social status or financial status that gives them street creds, credibility to have authority over others.
