First Communion Celebration Next Weekend
The First Eucharist children, with the help of their parents and families, have been learning what it means to be a member of a Eucharistic community. Next weekend, they will be coming to the Table of the
Lord for the first time at the 4:30, 9:30 and 11:30 Masses. It is truly a time of joy for them and for us, as we are all touched by sacramental celebrations. They remind us that we are part of the Body of Christ and that we share in this sacred meal. Please keep the children and their families in your prayers this coming week as they prepare for next weekend’s celebration.

$298.73 went to Andrew Center.
Daystar will be will be this weekend’s Parish Sharing recipient.
During the month of May, a special month for the Blessed Mother, our tithing emphasis will be on mothers and children. Our tithing recipient for next weekend will be the Women's Care Center, a Catholic lay ministry located on Lake Avenue (by Charlotte Furniture). They provide counseling, self-administered pregnancy kits, a listening ear to all who come or call. They make referrals to doctors, service agencies, and also for post-abortion counseling. Chastity information is shared with unmarried clients who have a negative pregnancy test. WCC was formed in 1990. Last year they became affiliated with the American Life League. St. Charles has a long history of association with this ministry...baby showers, gifts from the Advent Giving project, and more than $8,500 of parish sharing.
