$309 went to Mercy Residential Services this past weekend. There will NOT be a Parish Sharing recipient this weekend due to the Diocesan Missions collection.
Next weekend's recipient of parish sharing will go to Rochester Area Right to Life (RARTL). This organization is educational and political; it is set up with various subgroups in order to adhere to government regulations (no tax deduction for political activity). RARTL has been around for over 40 years. It works to defend life in the areas of abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia. Educational efforts include a newsletter, brochures (some of which are at the back of church), display tables at health fairs, churches, etc., a website, an oratorical contest, and this October will host the New York State RTL convention. Information is available on stem cell research (oppose embryonic, support adult). The organization is underwritten by interested individuals and groups. Their office is in Greece on Ling Road. Four parishioners are on the board/work for RARTL.
We Welcome You to St. Charles Borromeo Parish

LIGHTHOUSE CDS
Check out the Lighthouse Catholic Media
kiosks at the back of church for CDs, books,
booklets, and pamphlets. As we have just
passed Divine Mercy Sunday, check out the
materials related to that. One of the CDs is The Second
Greatest Story Ever Told. It is a talk by Fr. Michael
Gaitley, a priest of the Congregation of Marian Fathers of
the Immaculate Conception and the director of the
Association of Marian Helpers, a spiritual benefit society
with more than one million members. Fr. Gaitley talks
about Divine Mercy, the role of Blessed John Paul II in
Divine Mercy, and the crucial role that Marian
consecration can play in your life. This is definitely not a
dry speech!

Installment #27: From last week: Can we
return to the Liturgy and the works of Mercy?
Good idea.
Q. How can I prepare for the Masses of May?
A. May can be beautiful as we drive or walk to
Mass. Also, we may be coming for a special
celebration, like a First Communion, Baptism
or wedding. But there is no better way to
prepare for Mass than to read ahead of time
the scripture readings of the day. Our bulletin
gives us the readings for the weekend coming
up. And many of us have a missal with the
readings for every day.
Q. I am overwhelmed. Give me a little less to
chew on.
A. How about this: look at the readings for the
nine days between Ascension Thursday May
13 and Pentecost Sunday May 24. This is the
original novena, and it helps us imitate the
Apostles and Mary as they waited together for
the coming of the Holy Spirit. Ten minutes a
day will do it.
Q. What if I don't have a daily missal or
missalette?
A. Consider sitting or kneeling quietly for ten
minutes each day for the nine days. Too
much? Try three minutes a day. Give the Holy
Spirit a chance to talk to you. And share your
experiences with like-minded people. Bring a
car load of spirited people with you to Mass
next weekend which is Pentecost.
Remember to send me your thoughts and questions
by e-mail ([email protected]) or my mail to the
Parish Office to my attention.

FASHION SHOW WAS A
HUGE SUCCESS
- THANK YOU!
This year’s St. Charles Ladies Fashion Show &
Luncheon was a huge success. Everyone had a
wonderful time. Our profit was over $4,000 which
goes to help with the ministries of our Parish.
We want to thank all those who made it so successful
– our special guest Phyllis Contestable (aka Reverend
Mother), the models, Christopher & Banks and CJ
Banks, all who helped with the set-up, decorating and
take-down, the local businesses who supported the
show with advertisements and/or raffle prizes, those
who donated silent auction baskets and raffle prizes,
the Aquinas Institute students who helped, the Parish
staff for their support and help, the Fundraising
Committee for pulling it all together and of course,
all who attended.
Pictures from the 2015 Fashion Show can be found by
clicking the “St. Charles on Flickr” link on our Parish
website.
We look forward to seeing everyone at next year’s
Ladies Fashion Show.
