We Welcome You to St. Charles Borromeo Parish
Thank you for joining us. We are glad you have chosen to worship at St. Charles this weekend. Are you interested in becoming a member of the parish? If you need more information or would like to register, please call Mary Eggleston at 663-3230 x107 or contact her by e-mail at [email protected].
No Parish Sharing recipient this past weekend due to the diocesan collection for the Churches in Central & Eastern Europe. This weekend’s Parish Sharing recipient is Water for South Sudan.
St. Charles Borromeo has a St. Vincent de Paul Society (SVDP) whose basic ministry is to help the poor obtain necessary furniture and household goods. Potential clients are interviewed to asses their needs and also to connect them to other community assets. People in Eastern Greece and Charlotte are eligible for assistance. We have had bulletin announcements in the recent past asking for item donations to this group. They also collaborate with the SDVP group from St. Frances Xavier Cabrini parish. Next weekend’s parish sharing will be donated to our group.

Father Ted’s Catechism for Seniors... by Rev. Edwin Metzger
From last time: Come to Mass, listen and share.
Q. Homeless people in the city of Rochester are on
my mind, and I am happy to hear that Deacon Dan
Callan and others are reaching out and practicing
Jesus' command 'to love your neighbor as
yourself'. God's love and justice is visible in our
community. I still wonder about how much God
really cares about human beings when I learn
about people who are killed by terrorism, violence
and the millions who are displaced and homeless.
What does the Catechism say about a good and
powerful God?
A. Quite a bit, so much so that I bet you'll moan and
groan when I tell you. I'm going to re-read (and
why don't you?) paragraphs 309 to 314 in the
Catechism. Remember, you can read these on
your computer as well as in your well-used paper
back edition. The section is called (GOD'S)
PROVIDENCE AND THE SCANDAL OF EVIL. In
paragraph 324, it could be summarized like this:
The fact that God permits physical and even moral
evil is a mystery that God illuminates by his Son
Jesus Christ who died and rose to vanquish evil.
Faith gives us the certainty that God would not
permit an evil if he did not cause a good to come
from that very evil, by ways that we shall know
fully only in eternal life.
Q. Do you call that an answer? Give me a break.
A. I will. Have a hot dog, hamburger and frozen
custard, find a shady spot, and pray about that for
15 minutes, or more if you doze off a bit. As you
pray, tell God how frustrated you are with violence
and homelessness, then give him equal time by
listening to what the Spirit, Son and Father say to
you. Jot down your prayer, and look at it as you
prepare for weekend Mass. After Mass, take
another break.

LIGHTHOUSE CDS
Check out the Lighthouse Catholic Media
kiosks at the back of church! Our offerings
include many different CDs, books, and
pamphlets. The purpose of all the materials is
to help Catholics learn and live their faith and to pass it
on!
Matt Fradd is a gifted evangelist who speaks to over
50,000 teens and young adults every year. His talks are
both engaging and intellectually deep, keeping
audiences engaged throughout. Through this passionate
and entertaining story (God, Are You There?), Matt
relays how God’s existence can be grasped by reason
and how everyone must wrestle with this question.

SAVE THE DATE!!!!
Upcoming Men’s & Women’s Retreat at Notre Dame
2016 Retreat Theme: “Our American Catholic Heritage: Past, Present and Future:”
Women's Retreat: September 30-October 2
Now is the time to put the date on your calendar and
consider joining us for the Women’s retreat on
September 30- October 2. It is a special time to get
away from the tasks, the surroundings and trappings
of everyday life that keep us so busy, we forget to
carve out that time for growing in our faith and
spending quality time with Our Lord.
The suggested cost is $150* (single room), $120 ea.
(shared double room w/shower), and $200 (double
room/single occupancy).
To reserve a room or for more information call: Call
Mary Gardner at 227-0691 or
Donna LaDuca at 342-3234. Please leave a message
if no answer.
*Please Note: Notre Dame has a policy that retreatants can pay whatever they are able to pay for their retreats.
The inability to pay the suggested rates should never be seen as blocking someone from coming. This is a
Ministry and we want you to be here.
You can also look at the Notre Dame Retreat House web site (http://notredameretreat.org/) for pictures and
more information on this great facility. Rides to the retreat can easily be arranged.
Men's Retreat: September 23-25
Please join the men of St. Charles on our annual
retreat at Notre Dame Retreat House, Friday evening
through Sunday noon, September 23 through 25.
Now is a good time to mark your calendar and make
a reservation. The deadline for reservations is
September 18, as long as space is available.
The conferences at the retreat will center on how
Catholicism came to America; how Catholicism has
evolved, shaped and influenced us as a nation and
individually; and the importance of Catholicism to us
now and in the future.
If you would like to register or would just like more
information, with no obligation, please call Ed
Holden (621-8243) or send an email
([email protected]). Please leave a message if no
answer.
