Our fifth Lenten Friday Fish Fry is

March 20. It’s a great meal at a reasonable price

sponsored by our PTU. Dinners are served—and are

available for take-out—from 4:00 till 7:00pm in the

Corrigan Gym.

We will continue to offer the Sacrament of

Reconciliation after our Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning

Masses both this weekend and next weekend. Due to the lengthy

reading of the Passion, we will not hear confessions on Palm

Sunday. Our final bout of Lenten Confessions will be Spy

Wednesday of Holy Week, April 1 at 11:00am—12:00Noon,

3:00—4:00pm, and 7:30—8:30pm

Our “SOX in the boX’ collection

will conclude on Palm Sunday weekend. If you haven’t done so

already, please leave your gift of new sox in the boxes found in

the church and hall lobbies. Even though the temperatures are

finally a little bit warmer, the homeless poor will still thank you

for a pair of clean, dry, warm sox.

Did you order a corned beef sandwich from Boy Scout

Troop #221 last week? Pick up your meal after Mass this Sunday

morning.

St Charles parishioners currently in the eighth grade

are preparing for Confirmation--scheduled for Sunday April 19

with Bishop Roger Gries. Next Saturday, March 21, is Spirit

Day. Our Confirmation candidates will experience this Retreat

Day to help them prepare for this Sacrament of Christian

Maturity and Commitment. Keep our eighth graders in prayer

that day. Thank you to all on the Retreat Team who will make

next Saturday such a special time.

Remember to check the video screen monitors (thank

you Carnival 2014!) in the church lobbies when you come to

Mass. There you will find a listing of the newly baptized as well

as the names of those who have gone home to God. There is also

word about major parish plans and offerings, plus lots of other

news.

Parma’s Catholic Pastors meet monthly for an

exchange of ideas. One proposal that we have been discussing is

organizing a Thanksgiving Day Meal for those who would be

alone that day as well as for those who cannot afford to provide a

holiday meal for themselves. The plan would be to offer the meal

at one Parma Catholic parish but to have volunteers from all of

the Parma Catholic parishes assist. The meal would be served

from Noon till 2:00pm. Those who offered the meal could then

get home to their families.

Would you be interested in helping with a Thanksgiving

Day Meal? If so, call our Parish Office (440-884-3030) and

leave your name and phone number. We will consider the

response and move forward from there.

Wow! Thank you for the many nice notes, phone calls,

e-mails, texts, and mentions about this year’s Lenten Parish

Retreat. It was all positive feedback. Those who attended really

enjoyed—and benefitted—from Father Mike Woost’s reflections

on the Sacred Three Days of Holy Week. Lots of credit goes to

Father Terry Grachanin (Father Woost is Father Terry’s big

“hero.”) and to music minister Tom Holzheimer—both handled

the details.

Happy St Patrick’s Day!

Merici Chapel… Do you love Jesus? When is the

last time you had an uninterrupted conversation

with Him? Jesus has a loving heart and He’s a

good listener. Make a visit to Merici Chapel. Tell

Him how your Lent is going and life in general.

Show Jesus how much you love Him by making time for Him in

your life.

NORTHEAST OHIO

MEN’S FELLOWSHIP CONFERENCE

March 21st, 2015 As men, life can be stressful and exhausting, numerous eyes look

to us to be ―strong‖ and ―wise‖ and the pressure of them and the

responsibilities of life can often feel like too much. Therefore, I’d

like to invite you and challenge you to give Christ and the

Church one full day of your life. Saturday, March 21st, 2015

is the Northeast Ohio Men’s Fellowship Conference. This confer-

ence is meant to provide the context where Christ can bring the

true Father’s love and life into your heart and provide that divine

energy to love those whom you are close to. Please do not shirk

the responsibility to be a man that builds a culture of life and love

instead of one of ego and isolation. For more information visit

the website www.cmfneo.com. ~ Fr. Ryan Mann
