On October 28, 12 new members were welcomed into our community in Baptism. This was the largest number of baptisms ever held at St. Charles at one time: according to Fr. Ed, the previous record was 11 in the late 1800’s. Congratulations and blessings for them, their families and their new godparents. All photos by Guy Noe.

St. Charles Borromeo Church works to express our Catholic faith through building a diverse community which bears witness to the power of God’s love. Inclusion is central to this, and individuals with disabilities are invited to fully share in the rich sacramental life of the parish. St. Charles Borromeo Church seeks to build upon these efforts and further celebrate the various gifts and abilities of its members. Our parish celebrated Inclusion Awareness Day on Sunday, October 14, 2012.
Two parishioners serve as Parish Advocates for Persons with Disabilities, and received training through Catholic Charities of Brooklyn and Queens, Parish and Community Outreach and Services. These Advocates, Phil Murray and Ashleigh Thompson, liaise with Father Ed and Parish Pastoral Council to ensure that meaningful sacramental participation is available to all parishioners. Phil and Ashleigh are available to meet with parishioners with disabilities in person, over the phone or by email to explore ways that St. Charles Borromeo can better meet the needs of members and neighbors. Contact the rectory to schedule an appointment.
