Homily – 13th Sunday Ordinary Time
Growing up, I grew up in a very strict European household.
Actually, it was a very strict Sicilian household.
And for those of you who know strict Sicilians. It’s strict.

Homily – 12th Sunday Ordinary Time (Fr. Smith)

Fr. Bill’s Farewell Cookout
Fr. Bill’s final Sunday Mass as pastor of St. Charles Borromeo will be tomorrow, June 25. Please join us following the 11:15 AM Mass (around 12:30 PM) for a gathering outside the church on Aitken Place to celebrate Fr. Bill’s six years with us and to express our gratitude for everything he has done to transform our parish. We will have a cookout with burgers, hot dogs, bratwurst, veggie burgers, and more as well as children’s activities.
Rain Location: In the event we cannot celebrate outside due to rain, we will celebrate in the back of the church. Currently, rain is expected to start tomorrow in the late afternoon. Let’s pray that forecast holds and we can gather outside on Aiken Place.
