The guidelines for Catholics on fasting and abstinence are as follows: Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59. Those who are bound to fast may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted if necessary to maintain strength according to each one’s needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted. Abstinence from meat is to be observed by all Catholics 14 years or older on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and on all Fridays of Lent. The determination of certain days as obligatory days of penance should not be understood as limiting the occasions for Christian penance.

It’s that time of the year again and we will begin RCIA for the upcoming year. Anyone interested in exploring the possibility of becoming Catholic or inquiring about the Catholic Church is invited to join us for RCIA. RCIA stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. It is the process by which the non-baptized and those baptized Christians of other faiths wishing to become Catholic can be brought into full communion with the Catholic Church through the sacraments of initiation - Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation. It is also for any adult baptized Catholic, who has not yet celebrated the Sacraments of Eucharist and/or Confirmation. RCIA will begin on Wednesday, August 28th at 7:00 pm. We will be meeting in the St. Luke meeting room next to the Borromeo Room. If you are interested in finding out more about the RCIA and joining us this year, please contact Ron Schumann at 504-909-6209, email proenginr@aol.com, Deacon Michael Stohlman at 504-994-0448, email MHStohlman65@gmail.com, or call the church office.

DID YOU KNOW… Fr. Jared Rodrigue, parochial vicar at Mary Queen of Peace, is an alum of SCB having graduated 8th grade in 2005. He was in 5th grade when our beloved Pastor Fr. John Phuc tragically died accidentally while fishing. Like all of us, Jared was devastated but unlike all of us, he had a plan; to become a priest. When his 5th grade mind asked "Who will be our priest now?"... God answered. Ironically, he is currently in his first priestly assignment serving with Pastor John Tran who is the cousin of Fr. John Phuc. From Fr. Jared: "SCB is home. It was a place for asking questions about who I was and who God is; a place for answering those questions while discovering my own gifts and talents; and a place for learning just how my gifts and talents fit into God's plan. SCB is a place for forming saints...and a home for all those striving so to be."

We are called to minister to the sick. Part of our ministry to the sick includes providing those who want to pray the rosary with a rosary for them to keep. In an effort to have an ample supply of rosaries for patients in hospitals, nursing homes and hospices, we are asking for your support. The need is great and the resources are few. We are in need of rosaries made of rope, cord or nylon; we prefer they do not have metal or glass parts because of potential harm to a patient. If you can help, please bring them to the Parish Office or you can send them to: Deacon Jeff Tully Archdiocese of New Orleans 1000 Howard Ave. 9th floor New Orleans, LA 70113

We are looking to create a list of adults, 18 and older, to provide babysitting services during events at St. Charles Borromeo. Each event requires adults for babysitting, but teens are welcome to help as well. This is also a great opportunity for them to get service hours. Adult babysitters will be reimbursed accordingly based on our attendance. Events may range from one to several hours. Please contact Brandi Leblanc at (504)931-3306 if you would like to be added to our list of babysitters. Interested adults need to be current on their Safe Environment Training. **When this ministry is offered, we depend on RSVP’s from parents to enable us to plan on the number of children we should be prepared to babysit (snacks, games, etc)
