End of Year Donations
As you approach the end of 2009 looking for charitable donations to lower your taxes please remember Saint Charles Borromeo Church. Your gift will allow us to continue the work of “spreading the Good News”!
Income Tax Charitable Donation Statements
We can provide end of the year statements of yourcontributions to St Charles Borromeo if needed for your income tax. I.R.S. regulations permit us to provide statements of contribution for cash offerings only if those donations are made in an envelope and we record them weekly. Sometimes we are asked to provide statements of contributions for cash placed in the basket on a weekly basis. This can only be done if those cash offerings are made in an envelope and recorded by the counting group each week.

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures
The Web site committee is looking for Baptism, Confirmation and Wedding pictures which they could place on our web site from time to time. We have wonderful pictures of the Church but some pictures of Sacramental reception would be helpful. Please e mail your pictures to [email protected] .
Help Needed
Our Parish Vocation Committee and our Bulletin Board Committee need a “few good volunteers” to help with their important work. The Vocation committee works with the Diocesan Vocation Office to promote a greater awareness of the Call to Service while the Bulletin Board group try to visually highlight events in the Parish.
Homeless Shelter Volunteers
Assumption Church is planning to host a homeless shelter from January 4 through February 5. They need volunteers to cook, open up and stay overnight. This important and rewarding ministry will not be possible unless sufficient volunteers step forward. If you want more information or will help contact Tom Amon at [email protected] or Patrick McEntee at [email protected] or Kathy Reynolds at [email protected] (RE: homeless shelter).
Weekly Envelopes
Your donation envelopes will no longer be mailed to your house (or apartment). Soon we will be displaying the boxes of envelopes in the entrance of the Church for you to pick up.
This economy will save us on postage and provide you with certain reception of your envelopes for 2010. More information will follow before the boxes of
envelopes are displayed.
