Thirty-Third Sunday November 15, 2015
Dear Parishioners, Next weekend we welcome back home our seminarian Shalindra who will be speaking at all the masses about the Annual Seminary Appeal. It is through your generosity to this Appeal that no man is ever turned away from studying and discerning to be a priest.
Tuition for a seminarian working towards his B.A. in Philosophy is $32,975 per year. Undergraduate courses include classical language, literature and philosophy. The undergraduate program prepares seminarians for advanced Theological studies.
Tuition for a seminarian working towards his Mas-ter of Divinity and Master of Arts degrees is $34,925 per year. Graduate courses include Sacred Scripture, Moral and Systematic Theology, Homiletics and Sacraments. The graduate program equips seminarians with skills necessary to support parish life.
The following is from Bishop Senior
the Rector of St. Charles:
Dear friends in Christ,
Prominently, across
the top of the seal of the
Seminary is the word
Humilitas: the motto of our
patron, Saint Charles Bor-
romeo. At its core, humilitas,
or humility, is an attitude of
awareness of our absolute
reliance upon the goodness
of others ~ ultimately upon
the grace of God ~ for our gifts, our successes, our
very existence. Following the ideal of Jesus Christ,
the example of Pope Francis, and the legacy of our
patron, we strive to maintain and reflect that spirit of
humilitas in every aspect of Seminary life.
Allow me to share with you some of the ways in which
our Seminary is being transformed in grace today by
innovative programs, new partnerships, and a renewed
spirit of joy thanks to the recent visit of Pope Francis.!!
FROM MY HOUSE
TO YOURS
In the spring of 2014, an innovative partnership
was launched with Saint Joseph’s University (SJU). The
SJU Haub School of Business has developed a leadership
training program in the principles of Servant-Leadership,
for our seminarians in their third year of Theology. In the
spring of 2015, renovation of our theology buildings began
with new roofs on our student resident halls. As the new
academic year opened in August of 2015, we welcomed
seminarians from two additional religious congregations
who have selected Saint Charles as their Seminary. The
visit of Pope Francis to our Seminary in September has
been an incredible inspiration for all of us.
Our School of Theological Studies, under the lead-
ership of Father John Ames, has taken on renewed energy;
fidelity to the Magisterium and academic rigor have made
the Seminary’s STS a magnet for both lay and religious
students who want to challenge themselves to understand
more deeply their Catholic faith. The Seminary campus is
enriched also by the presence and pursuits of those pre-
paring for the permanent diaconate ~ men who feel called
to learn new ways of serving their communities and par-
ishes.
As Rector here at Saint Charles, in a spirit of
humilitas, I take immense joy in our mission of forming
servant-leaders after the heart of Jesus Christ for the
Church of today. As a member of the faithful of the Arch-
diocese of Philadelphia, you too share in this mission. Our
seminarians and students are preparing for the day when
they can serve the people of God in our parishes, schools
and charitable works. I welcome you to visit Saint Charles
~ bring your family and friends, and experience first-hand
the new momentum here.
Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary is worthy of your sup-
port. I encourage you to renew your commitment today
with a financial gift. Our seminarians and students need
you ~ and our communities and parishes need them!
Sincerely in Christ,
Most Reverend Timothy C. Senior
Rector
At this time you should have received your
Seminary Appeal Letter and pledge card in the mail. You are more than willing to drop it off in the collection next weekend to be mailed back to St. Charles. On behalf of all you do, thank you so much for your support and generosity to this Appeal.
God Love Ya! Fr. Reilly

FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING
NOVEMBER 22
The Liturgical Calendar ends the Church Year with the Feast of Christ the King and begins the
year with the first Sunday of Advent. This year we have chosen the Feast of Christ the King to
have a special blessing for all those children who will be receiving the Sacraments of Penance and
Holy Eucharist for the first time
and the Sacrament of Confirmation for the only time.
The blessing will take place during the 11:30 a.m. Mass
and everyone present will be asked to pray for these children
Immediately after 11:30 a.m. Mass ,
we are having an end of the Church Year social in the School Hall.
We are looking for donations of “breakfast goodies” or cookies, brownies, etc.
We also will be offering both an Advent and Christmas service project for individuals and
families. For Advent, we are putting together, with felt and popsicle sticks, a little “Crib for Christ” as a re-
minder for us to do good works and give our gifts to Jesus during
Advent. For our Christmas project, we will be putting together candy canes using pipe
cleaners and beads, for our parish homebound. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DONATING TO THIS SOCIAL OR
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL MARYELLEN AT THE RECTORY.
