St. Charles Borromeo Church           January 3, 2016

This day goes by many names. The most popular is “Epiphany Sunday.” But it is also sometimes called “The Feast of the Three Kings,” “Little Christmas,” or “Twelfth

Night.” It is also a popular custom, especially in Eastern European traditions, to celebrate a House Blessing. For some years, we have offered that opportunity. Chalk will be blessed at today’s Mass. Take a piece of blessed chalk home with you and follow the prayer form below.

Epiphany Family House Blessing

Select a family member to lead the blessing of your home. Gather as a family, inside the house, around the main door. Pray together: “LET US PRAY: O Lord, Almighty God, come to bless this home. May it be a shelter of health, chastity, victory over sin, humility, goodness, mildness, obedience to your commandments, and thanksgiving to God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (You may sprinkle holy water in the house at this time.) May this Epiphany Blessing remain for all time on this dwelling and upon all who live and visit here. We ask this through Christ Our Lord! AMEN! Then, over the door, use your blessed chalk to inscribe these numbers and letters. (Various family members may each add a letter or a number.)

20 + K + M + B + 16

The letters stand for the traditional names of the Wise Men; Kasper, Melchior, and Balthasar. The numbers are of this New Year 2016. May each St Charles parishioner BE a blessing to others and may each visitor BRING a blessing to your home!

Hungry? Why not stop at the Pancake Breakfast this Sunday morning after the 7:30, 9:00, and 10:30am Masses. It all happens in the Lower Parish Hall, compliments of St Charles Youth Group. Menu? Pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, fresh fruit, coffee and juice. See you there!

LIFE IS CHANGED, NOT ENDED Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord

2016 FIRST STEP PROGRAMS:   

CONTINUING EDUCATION REGARDING MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE IN THE 

CATHOLIC CHURCH DURING THE HOLY YEAR, THE JUBILEE OF MERCY 

During this Holy Year, the Jubilee of Mercy, we are called to renew our relationship with God and the Church. Attempting to pick up the pieces of one’s life after the tragedy of divorce is an area that can impact a person’s relationship with God and the Church. One of the significant issues that a person faces is their place in the Church. Does the Church still care about me even though I am divorced? Am I allowed to go to Mass? Can I receive communion? How can the Church help me heal? If I decide to marry again, what do I have to do?

The Tribunal of the Diocese of Cleveland, especially during this Jubilee of Mercy, offers its First Step Program in order to help individuals deal with these questions in order to renew and/or strengthen their relationship with God and the Church. This program is offered to help everyone, especially those who have experienced divorce, learn more about Catholic teaching regarding marriage, divorce, and remarriage. Representatives from the Ministry to the Divorced Office of the Department for Marriage and Family Ministry will also be present to explain the resources they offer to the divorced.

Everyone is welcome to: Deepen knowledge of the Church’s teaching on marriage… Learn about the Church’s ministry to the divorced/separated in the Diocese… Hear about the annulment process and how to submit a case… Discover a path to healing after divorce in order to strengthen and/or renew a relationship with God and the Church

In any endeavor, taking the “first step” is always the most difficult. The First Step Program helps individuals to navigate the path of healing and closure. Please refer to the Tribunal website (www.dioceseofcleveland.org/tribunal) for testimonials about the program from past participants.

The schedule for the general meetings in 2016 is:

Tuesday, 8 March 2016, at St. Peter Parish, Lorain, at 7:00 p.m. Thursday, 19 May 2016, at St. Noel Parish, Willoughby Hills, at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, 13 September 2016, at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish, Cuyahoga Falls, at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, 18 October 2016, at St. Ambrose Parish, Brunswick, at 7:00 p.m.

Note that the Diocese of Cleveland no longer requires any fees for this process.

For more information check our website: www.dioceseofcleveland.org/tribunal
