Dear Friends,
Please consider our Haiti Committee’s appeal this weekend to sponsor a child (or more than one) by offering them
a good Catholic education at our sister parish, Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Cavaillon, Haiti. See the enclosed flyer for
more information.
Registration for Gradeschool catechesis and Middle and High School youth groups is currently underway: you
may find the registration forms on our website or at the parish entrances. I strongly encourage parents to register all of
their children and teens for continuing formation in the faith. We also need volunteers to serve as catechists and youth
group leaders. For more information, contact Francesca Sayre, our Director of Religious Education & Youth Minstry.
We have a new resident priest at St. Charles: Fr. Alberto Frigerio of the Archdiocese of Milan in Italy will be living
here while he studies for a semester at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family in DC. He
will assist us with Masses and Confessions. We are glad to host a priest from the city where St. Charles Borromeo served
as archbishop!
I will be away next weekend on vacation, visiting my maternal relatives in New York City and environs. As a pop
song from the Sixties said, “See you in September…” I remain,
Your servant in Christ Jesus, Father Don
