“Fortnight for
Freedom” Festival
June 21—July 4
“It is painful to think that in some areas of the world it is
impossible to profess one’s religion freely except at the risk
of life and personal liberty. In other areas we see more
subtle and sophisticated forms of prejudice and hostility
toward believers and religious symbols.“
Pope Benedict XVI
Please visit the DOR website for updates on activities in our
Diocese, particularly the Fortnight for Freedom Festival at
Notre Dame Retreat House, June 21 to July 4.
“Did You Know…?”

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, contact Sr. Miriam at 663-3230 x104.

Reminder for Hospital Visitation
We try to visit all of the hospitals our parishioners are
in at least once a week. In recent months, the
hospitals have been changing over to all electronic
systems. If you or a family member are going to be
at any of the area hospitals, please call the Parish
Office so we know you are there and can visit you.

Annual St. Charles / Fr. Heindl
Golf Tournament
Sunday, August 19, 2012
Deerfield Country Club
Registration Forms are available at the
entrances of Church.
This is a special year to celebrate the legacy of
Fr. Elmer Heindl. An Armed Forces Reserves Center
has been built in Ft. Benning, Georgia.
This center will be dedicated September 8, 2012
in memory of
“Lieutenant Colonel Chaplain Elmer W. Heindl”
Proceeds from the tournament will benefit parish
ministries of St. Charles Borromeo.
LIGHTHOUSE CDS
Check out the Lighthouse Catholic
Media kiosks and literature racks (4
locations) at the back of church. There
are many choices of CDs and now
books have also been added to the mix. Although
there is a suggested donation, fundraising is not the
reason that these items are available. They are there to
help us grow in our understanding and exercise of our
faith. Also, they are to pass on as an evangelization
tool for others.
Dr. Scott Hahn, a former Presbyterian minister,
tackles the issue of the Papacy in Why Do We Have a
Pope? There are 2 CDs from discussions with Pope
Benedict XVI: Light of the World and Salt of the
Earth. A Father Who Keeps His Promises is a book by
Dr. Hahn on God's covenant love in scripture. This is a
small sampling of what is available.
