We are offering to you a chance to purchase a t-shirt especially designed for our ministry. We can wear it at all events in which our ministry participates, including 40 Days for Life, our monthly prayer vigil at Planned Parenthood, and when we serve meals at Covenant House. Order one for yourself and for members of your family! Please note, the ladies style shirts run very small, so I advise to order 2 sizes up from your regular size. Attached is the order form in pdf format listing styles available, prices, and ordering information, and digital representations of the shirt front and back (the dark blue areas will not be on the actual shirt). Order forms and payment can be returned to Tanya Ory, 75 Rosedown Dr. Destrehan, LA 70047, or the Church Office no later than September 7, 2017.

In an effort to bring education, outreach, and activities that are meaningful to members of our team and the larger parish, we have posted a survey to ask what is important to you. The results of this survey will help our team schedule and plan future events and activities. Please take a moment to respond; it is very brief. You can reach the survey here: http://www.scbrespectforlife.org/what-do-you-think.html. There are also a number of events taking place in the next two months. Please see our Upcoming Events tab. You can reach it here: http://www.scbrespectforlife.org/upcoming-events1.html. If there is an event you are interested in and go to, please take pictures, if appropriate, and let us know what you learned, saw, and heard. Your experiences can touch and change the hearts of others, and we would like to give you the opportunity to share your experiences.

Please note that the chapel behind the sanctuary glass wall is for infants and their guardians only. Its intended use is to allow those young families an opportunity to attend Mass with the entire family. Everyone else should celebrate in the communion of the Body & Blood of Christ with the rest of the congregation in the main church.

If you have always wanted to know about your faith, this is where to go. It is very important, in fact, it is necessary to know something about why you say what you believe. We as Catholics are members of the Church Christ founded. Do you understand the Mass? Why do I have to confess my sins to a priest? Why do we ask the intercession of the saints? Do you know why? To deepen your life with Christ access FORMED, it is a great gift we have at SCB. Come to know your faith as an adult Catholic Christian so as to deepen your life with Christ. We have an obligation to know our faith so as to "instruct the ignorant," as the works of mercy command us. Also, join us in our adult education program. The next program is on the Eucharist which will be announced soon. Usually we meet on Thursday nights. TBA! Learn your faith! Parishioners, enter code eee6b0 Please click above for more information

In the year of Mercy, SCB Elementary and CCD have adopted St. Alphonsus School in Denham Springs. 95% of their students, faculty, and staff lost homes and vehicles in the recent floods. Our students are connected to theirs for joint classroom projects. Our parents are also helping with hot lunches and a continuous coffee station for the staff. We are collecting Gift Cards for them to help ease the burden. Most of all, our students are happily doing God’s work by making the Corporal Works of Mercy come alive. Whatever you do for the least of my brothers, that you do unto Me.

Several years ago, we established the St. Charles Borromeo School Endowment Fund.

Would you like to contribute? * Direct Donations always accepted; add “School Endowment” to our check’s memo line * Consider leaving a gift in your will * Call the parish office or the school office for more information.
