Adult Faith Formation ~~ The Mass Coming in January

For Catholics, the Mass is probably the most familiar part of our faith. But sometimes, familiarity makes us take something for granted or prevents us from going deeper.

Join us as we walk through the Mass with Bishop Barron in an adult study program beginning in January. With Bishop Barron as our guide, we will see how the Mass brings us out of the fallen world and into the heavenly realm. We’ll come to realize that the Mass is the most privileged and intimate encounter with our Lord, Jesus Christ here on earth. We will meet two Saturdays a month, after 5:00 Mass, in the parish hall. A light supper will be provided, followed by the program (approximately 60 minutes). Come and see that there is more to Mass than you ever realized! Dates are:

• January 8, 22

• February 5, 19

• March 5, 19

• April 2

Please contact Karen Leffel with any questions or to register – kwalshleffel@gmail.com Please register by December 19, so we may plan accordingly.

Knights of Columbus Coats for Kids: We requesting donations of NEW coats for kids Kindergarten through High School. Coats may be left in the box at the back of the church following weekend masses through December 12th. All collected coats will be provided to the children of our community who are in need. Your support and donations are needed and appreciated. Eve Mlodynia and Freddie Meditz are spearheading this effort. Peanuts: Peanut orders are due by December 1st.

Healing Prayer LORD, You invite all who are burdened to come to You. Allow Your healing hand to heal me. Touch my soul with Your compassion for others. Touch my heart with Your courage and infinite love for all. Touch my mind with Your wisdom, that my mouth may always proclaim Your praise. Teach me to reach out to You in my need and help me to lead others to You by my example. Most loving Heart of Jesus, bring me health in body and spirit that I may serve You with all my strength. Touch gently this life which You have created, now and forever. Amen.

Helping Hands Ministry Thanksgiving Meals

This Thanksgiving, we will be providing food to 55 families in need in our county. Twenty-two (22) of the families can shop for food themselves, so we are delivering a $50 Food Lion Gift Card to them.

We are preparing for each of the 33 remaining families a bag of food, which will include a freshly cooked rotisserie chicken, a frozen pie and boxed and can goods for their Thanksgiving meal, along with a $25 Food Lion Gift Card.

For anyone who can help us, we will be bagging the boxed and can goods this Sunday, November 21 at 1 p.m. in the St. Charles Parish Hall.

On Wednesday, November 24, I will be picking up the freshly-cooked rotisserie chickens at BJs at 11 a.m. and Al Paschall will be picking up the frozen pies at Food Lion at noon. We will meet at the Parish Hall between 12:30 p.m. and 12:45 p.m. with these last minute goods and be ready to send off at 1 p.m. volunteers to help us make the deliveries.

If you are able and available to help deliver a few bags of food, please let me now so I can prepare the lists:

• text me at 757-695-4884 or • email me at joan.natali@outlook.com • no later than Tuesday, November 23 at 5 p.m. It always helps to have two people per vehicle, one to

drive and the other to navigate to each family's residence. Thank you to all who have helped, by donating your time, money or both to support this ministry!

DECORACIONES DE ADVIENTO / NAVIDAD PARA LA IGLESIA

El Padre Michael solicita su ayuda después de la misa de las 10:00 a.m. de este domingo, para trasladar los árboles y las coronas desde el sótano del Salón Parroquial a la Iglesia. Los árboles están en cajas y son incómodos de transportar, lo que requerirá dos personas por caja. Hay cuatro cajas que deben moverse junto con las coronas. Necesitamos voluntarios para ayudar a instalar los árboles y colocar las luces. Toda ayuda es bienvenida.

CABALLEROS DE COLÓN Abrigos para niños: solicitamos donaciones de abrigos NUEVOS para niños desde el jardín de infantes hasta la escuela secundaria. Los abrigos se pueden dejar en la caja en la parte trasera de la iglesia después de las misas de fin de semana hasta el 12 de diciembre. Todos los abrigos recolectados se proporcionarán a los niños de nuestra comunidad que los necesiten. Necesitamos y agradecemos su apoyo y donaciones. Eve Mlodynia y Freddie Meditz encabezan este esfuerzo. Maní: Los pedidos de maní vencen el 1 de diciembre. Si tiene alguna pregunta o necesita un formulario, comuníquese con Michael Flanagan. Tarjetas de Navidad: Las tarjetas de “Mantenga a Cristo en Navidad” están disponibles en la parte posterior de la iglesia después de la misa.

Noticias de educación religiosa ... Se necesitan catequistas

Si desea unirse al equipo como catequista y desea recibir capacitación en Virtus, comuníquese con Kevin y Karey Fallon al 757-784-1965.

Cena de la suerte de la olla de Adviento Es hora de comenzar a pensar en las recetas favoritas que desea compartir. Nuestra cena de Advent Pot Luck será el domingo 5 de diciembre a las 5PM.

Formación en la fe para adultos ~~ La Misa Próximamente en enero

Para los católicos, la Misa es probablemente la parte más familiar de nuestra fe. Pero a veces, la familiaridad nos hace dar algo por sentado o nos impide profundizar. Únase a nosotros mientras caminamos por la misa con el obispo Barron en un programa de estudio para adultos a partir de enero. Con el obispo Barron como nuestro guía, veremos cómo la Misa nos saca del mundo caído al reino celestial. Nos daremos cuenta de que la Misa es el encuentro más privilegiado e íntimo con nuestro Señor Jesucristo aquí en la tierra. Nos reuniremos dos sábados al mes, después de la misa de las 5:00, en el salón parroquial. Se proporcionará una cena ligera, seguida del programa (aproximadamente 60 minutos). ¡Ven y comprueba que hay más en la Misa de lo que te imaginaste! Las fechas son:

• 8 y 22 de enero • 5, 19 de febrero • 5 de marzo de 19 • 2 de Abril

Comuníquese con Karen Leffel si tiene alguna pregunta o para registrarse: kwalshleffel@gmail.com Por favor, regístrese antes del 19 de diciembre para que podamos planificar en consecuencia.
