On behalf of all of the members of our St. Joseph Altar Society Ministry, we extend deep appreciation and gratitude to our St. Charles Borromeo parishioners and family. The Altar this year was a great success. We served hot food for the first time this year and served about 250 people. We visited the homebound this year and delivered shoebox altars lovingly created by our 3rd grade students. All left over food - pasta, red sauce, casseroles, cakes, cookies, canned goods, bread and fresh vegetables were delivered to Bridge House and Grace House. These facilities were deeply grateful for the generous donations. None of this is possible without the loving support of our parish. We thank you and can't wait to present it again next year.

For generations beneath these ancient oaks SCB has nurtured God's children by shaping their minds and souls to become leaders while practicing their Catholic faith and valuing Catholic teachings, traditions and legacies. Please see the attached to see how you can invest in the SCB School Endowment.

Did You Know... the children of our parish are praying for homebound parishioners by name? School and CCD classes will offer powerful prayers each day for the specific intentions of those parishioners served by SCB Eucharistic Ministers to the Homebound. In turn, they only ask those parishioners to pray for them too. We happily accept requests so if you know of someone who needs our prayers, call the parish or school office to let us know.
