Let us again look at what the Catechism of the Catholic Church has to say about Priesthood… 1118 The sacraments are "of the Church" in the double sense that they are "by her" and "for her." They are "by the Church," for she is the sacrament of Christ's action at work in her through the mission of the Holy Spirit. They are "for the Church" in the sense that "the sacraments make the Church,"35 since they manifest and communicate to men, above all in the Eucharist, the mystery of communion with the God who is love, One in three persons. 1119 Forming "as it were, one mystical person" with Christ the head, the Church acts in the sacraments as "an organically struc-tured priestly community."36 Through Baptism and Confirmation the Priestly people is enabled to celebrate the liturgy, while those of the faithful "who have received Holy Orders, are ap-pointed to nourish the Church with the word and grace of God in the name of Christ."37
1120 The ordained ministry or ministerial priesthood is at the service of the baptismal priesthood.38 The ordained priesthood guarantees that it really is Christ who acts in the sacraments through the Holy Spirit for the Church. the saving mission entrusted by the Father to his incarnate Son was committed to the apostles and through them to their successors: they receive the Spirit of Jesus to act in his name and in his person.39 The ordained minister is the sac-ramental bond that ties the liturgical action to what the apostles said and did and, through them, to the words and actions of Christ, the source and foundation of the sacra-ments.
1121 The three sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Orders confer, in addition to grace, a sacramental character or "seal" by which the Christian shares in Christ's priesthood and is made a member of the Church according to different states and functions. This configuration to Christ and to the Church, brought about by the Spirit, is
indelible,40 it remains for ever in the Christian as a positive disposition for grace, a promise and guarantee of divine protection, and as a vocation to divine worship and to the service of the Church. Therefore these sacraments can never be repeated. Taken from the www.Vatican.va website

sary that you know how to sew. We will begin again meeting on January 15 in 2018. We meet every Monday from 9:00am to 11:00am with the ex-ception of the Monday that Ladies Club meets.
A Holy Land Experience! Treat yourself or a loved one to an adventure of a lifetime–a pilgrimage to the Holy Land with a Catholic Bible scholar, historian, and New York Times best-selling author as your guide. Directed by Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio (known as “Dr. Italy” on Catholic radio and TV), the trip departs on April 16, 2018 and returns on April 26, 2018. This trip, with wonderful times of prayer, liturgy & music daily under the spiritual direction of Fr. Tim Nolt, promises to be a fascinating journey into a deeper life in Christ and richer understanding of the Bible. For more information online, visit www.goholyland.info or call Cyndi from the Crossroads Initiative at 214-882-7262. Act now--the remaining places are going fast!
St Charles and Our lady of the lake will be teaming up to have a parish festival which will be held next year. If you would like to lead or serve on the committee to organize and plan the festival please contact the office at St Charles.
Square Dancing: Beginning this Tuesday, January 9, 2018, we will have
square dancing in Lee Hall every week with Jim Hayes, a professional square dance caller. The event will begin at 7:00 after the Communion Service or Mass. If you like to dance, come join the fun.
Discontinuation of Flowers at Weekend Masses: We are glad to all those who had volunteered or participated on the provision and preparation of Flowers at the weekend Masses. We know that often the flowers are provided in memory of our departed loved ones and anniversaries, but as of now we do not have any volunteers to handle this, therefore, we cannot be discouraged. Remember, it is between you and God. You can book Mass for your departed loved ones, anniversaries and others. You may make donations for the candles use to celebrate Masses or other things used at Mass. Please our Church also need donations for Christmas and Easter altar flower decorations. Thanks and God bless you! Parish Office.

“A Sacrificial Gift"
How can I determine how much is a
"sacrificial gift"? One way to deter-
mine a sacrificial gift is by relating
your gift to your income. Some people
reach into their pocket to see what is
left from Saturday night.
As a good steward, you are being
asked to consider donating one hour
(2 1/2%) or two hours (5%) of your
weekly income. As circumstances
change, increase gradually toward
the ideal of 10% to your church and
other charities. Some will be able to
do more while others may need to do
less.
There are two important points: first is that your gift be a sacrifice and sec-ond is that you relate your donation to your income. If your income is $1000/week or $4333/month then a weekly sacrificial gift would be 2.5% = $25, 5% = $50 and 10% = $100.
PARISH MINISTRIES...come and be with us.
Share the Harvest Don’t forget our “Share the Harvest Food Wagon” at St. Charles and the “Box” at OLOL. When you are out do-ing your grocery shopping please con-sider picking up an extra item or two and bring when you come to Mass. Also cash is five times as good. Every $1.00 given buys $5.00 from the food bank. Thank you for your generosity. God Bless You.
