Weekend of February 17, 2019

Ninth in a series of sixteen articles that help explain the meaning of the Mass.

From the earliest days of the Church there have been collections of money during the Liturgy. The collection is one of the ways we make a return to God for all He has done for us. St. Paul advised his congregations to care for the poor, and he told the rich churches to send money to the poorer churches. As time went on, the people brought to Church all the things needed for the Mass – bread and wine for communion, money for the upkeep of the church buildings, food for the poor, and support for the Church’s ministries. The people brought money, food, animals, and a share of their crops as symbols of their labor. All of this was collected during Mass. Today, it is much more practical to limit our gifts to bread, wine and money. Whatever our gifts, we give freely, tithing from our wealth, knowing that God’s generosity to us will not be undone, and remembering the greatest gift of the Body and Blood of His Son, Jesus. As the gifts are brought forward and prepared, we too prepare ourselves to receive Jesus! All that we are, we place with the gifts that are brought forward. In the early days the priest washed his hands after handling all the various foods and animal gifts. Today as the priest washes his hands, he prays in silence to be cleansed from his sins. This should be the prayer in ALL our hearts!!!


Baptism Preparation Class The next Baptism class will be March 3 in Nazareth at 1pm. If you have questions, please call the parish office, 722-3413, for more information. Women’s Guild On Tuesday, March 5, the Women’s Guild Board will meet at 6pm in the Conference Room. The Women’s Guild business meeting will be on Monday, March 11 at 6pm in Hall B.

Altar Scene The Altar Society will hold their next monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 12, at 10am in Nazareth. Please bring a food item for St. Vincent de Paul food p a n t r y . I m m e d i a t e l y following the meeting members will go out and eat at Pizza Inn.

WOMEN'S ACTS RETREAT SIGN-UP There are a small number of spots available for the next Women’s ACTS Retreat to be held here at St. Charles church June 27 to June 30. This retreat was to be held the week after Hurricane Harvey flooded the retreat center, and those who had previously signed up were given the first opportunity to re-register. If you are thinking of joining us, please look for the green forms in the back of the church or come by the parish office. The price of the retreat is $170 but a limited number of scholarships are available. Please pray about this opportunity being offered in our very own parish.
