I am grateful for the members of our Parish Pastoral Council. In the last six months,
the members have been helpful to me in pastoral planning not only with our current
activities but as we plan for our future. Through thoughtful discussions, concern for
the common good of all, and faith in the action of the Holy Spirit, the Parish Pastoral
Council is helping to shape the vision and direction of our parish as we move
forward.
I am delighted to share with you the Vision Statement that has been emerging from their long
hours of study and discussion at Council meetings and between Council meetings. I present the
Statement to you as a way to seek your input and comments. You will notice that it is written in
the first person as a way to emphasize the need for all parishioners to take responsibility for its
fulfillment.
Father Mark and I welcome your comments in person, by e-mail ([email protected]; [email protected])
or on the blog-site (ponderingpadres.blogspot.com).
Just as your voice has been instrumental through your participation in the US Congregational Survey
to initiate this Statement, your voice is critical in finalizing the work.
It is my vision that St. Charles Borromeo (SCB) offers welcome to all who seek a deeper
friendship (relationship) with the living God through the Roman Catholic Tradition;
It is my vision that all parishioners are treated with respect and dignity and are accepted for
their gifts and limitations;
It is my vision that (all) the ministries of SCB, especially the liturgical ones, encourage and afford
opportunities for active participation in all our liturgical services;
It is my vision that our parishioners know one another by name and gather joyfully for (worship)
prayer, support, learning, and social activities;
It is my vision that we honor the senior members of our faith Community, by encouraging and
offering opportunities for them to share their experiences, strengths, and hopes to our younger
families;

Father's Day Prayer
God our Father,
you govern and protect your people
and shepherd them with a father's love.
You place a father in a family as a sign
of your love, care, and constant protection.
May fathers everywhere be faithful to the
example shown in the Scriptures: steadfast
in love, forgiving transgressions, sustaining
the family, caring for those in need.
Give your wisdom to fathers
that they may encourage and guide their children.
Keep them healthy so they may support a family.
Guide every father with the Spirit of your love
that they may grow in holiness
and draw their family ever closer to you.
Amen.

$241.95 went to Saint’s Place. Ministry
of Fr. Tom Brown is this weekend’s Parish Sharing recipient.
Camp Smile, sponsored by the Webster Lions Club, is a camp for blind children and has been in operation for over 35 years. Participants are in the age range of 5 to 18 and would generally be turned away from other camps. They are predominantly from Monroe County. Counselors at the camp, assigned on a one-to-one basis, are the eyes for the children. There are two 2-week sessions in July with about 25 campers per session. The camp is run as a day camp but does include one overnight. Camp activities include crafts, swimming, fishing trips, nature walks, roller and ice skating, riding tandem bikes. In the past, our donations have been used to purchase equipment for the camp. Next weekend we will make another donation to Camp Smile from our parish sharing.

It is my vision that our friendship with the living God is deepened with SCB encouraging
and offering opportunities for study, reflection, and action. To this end, I envision the
former school building being designated as a MINISTRY CENTER that also houses the
ministerial staff offices;
It is my vision that SCB take a leadership role in reaching out and evangelizing in the
Eastern Greece/Charlotte (EG/C) wider community;
It is my vision that we offer to eligible parishioners a formation program in order to be involved in
SCB parish ministry as a volunteer;
It is my vision that we encourage our young men and their families, through planned activities, to
consider a vocation to the ministerial priesthood;
It is my vision to have a vibrant Youth Ministry that offers opportunities for all youth to become
acquainted with the Christian life in the EG/C wider community;
It is my vision that SCB collaborate wherever possible with the other Christian Communities in our
area to offer Christian human services.
I pray that our Heavenly Father will continue to bless the work of our hands and hearts as we walk
together as the faith community of Saint Charles Borromeo.

Lighthouse CDs Our display of CDs in the kiosk and in
the back of church literature racks
includes around 30 different titles. We have many
new ones. One such is The Shadow of His Wings.
This is the story of Fr. Gereon Goldmann, who was
drafted into Hitler's army while he was still a
seminarian, and later assigned to the dreaded S.S.
Throughout World War II he remained faithful to his
Catholic convictions, proclaiming the Faith to his
Nazi countrymen. From his wartime ordination to
his construction of a prison chapel, this thrilling
true-life adventure is an inspirational testimony to
God's providence and power of prayer.
Check out the materials available at
the back of Church.

ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT THE CATHOLIC FAITH?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and Children is a process designed by
the Church for adults and older children to receive the sacrament of Baptism, Confirmation and First Communion. The goals are to give a complete overview of Catholic teachings and to begin to deepen a Christian spiritual life centered in the Sunday Scripture readings. The sacraments are received at the Easter Vigil Mass.
Are you:
a person who has not been baptized and would like to
learn more about the Catholic faith with the possibility of becoming Catholic?
a baptized Christian of another denomination who
would like to learn more about and possibly join the Catholic church?
a baptized Roman Catholic who has never received
Eucharist or Confirmation and would like to complete their sacraments?
a child over the age of 7 who has never been baptized
or has been baptized in another Christian faith or has been baptized Catholic and has never received Catholic instruction.
RCIA & RCIC offers an environment of support and guidance as you discover how God is working in your life. Is this process for you? Do you have a friend or neighbor who may be interested? For more information, please contact Sr. Miriam at 663-3230.
