LIFE IS CHANGED, NOT ENDED Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord Beatrice Slisz William T.J. Taylor Mary Ostrowski Vincy Lytle A Further Word from Father Carlin
In 2011-2012, St Charles Parish welcomed Matthew J
Byrne as a seminarian intern. Matt was very popular here and
he was ordained a priest in 2014 (a classmate of our Father
Ryan Mann.) Father Byrne has asked me to share some news
with you and to ask for your prayers:
“In recent years I have been dealing with epilepsy.
My condition has worsened and no longer responds to
medication. After extensive testing, doctors have recommended
brain surgery to correct a vascular malformation called
“cavernous angioma.” This aggressive surgery will take place
on Thursday, January 14.
“Please pray for my doctors, nurses, and caretakers.
May God manifest His mercy through them.
“Pray for yourselves. Because of my illness, the seizures,
and the effects of medication, I have not been able to serve more
effectively as a priest. I have had less and less to give away.
I want to return to your service.
“Pray for me. There are risks, Help me to remember the
love and mercy of God.”
If you would like to send a word of prayerful
encouragement or a get well card, here are the details:

ALL MARRIED AND ENGAGED COUPLES Couples of all generations are invited to a special Mass to

questions. No RSVP required — just come and celebrate!
January 10, 2016
Today’s celebration of the Baptism of the
Lord brings our Christmas celebration to an end. The
decorations will be stashed until next year; the
liturgical color will switch to green, signifying
“ordinary time” in the Church’s life.
This is the perfect time to acknowledge and to express
gratitude for the great generosity demonstrated by so many
St Charles parishioners in the last three months;
-----In October, we sponsored the Baby Bottle-Loose Change
collection to benefit WOMANKIND. Three years ago, we raised
$11,000. This time, the total was $15,380.73! That is tremendous!
WOMANKIND tells me that the St Charles total far exceeded that
of any other parish.
-----In November, St Charles parishioners donated more than six
truckloads during the Canned Food Drive to feed the hungry. We
were able to stock our St Vincent de Paul Food Pantry in addition
to the Emergency Food Kitchen at Our Lady of Peace Parish.
With the overflow, we helped several parishes on Cleveland’s West
Side.
-----On Thanksgiving Day, along with the other Catholic parishes
in Parma, we sponsored our First Thanksgiving Day Meal. That
will now be an annual event. The meal was a tremendous success.
More than one hundred volunteered to work and many others
made significant donations.
------In December, our Advent Giving Tree made it a Merry
Christmas at Zechariah House—Maggie’s Place, Providence
House, West Side Catholic Center, and Malachi House. Together,
those four institutions promote life values from conception until
natural death. All those packages in church, before the altar,
brought joy to so many when delivered.
-----“the good Sisters” thank St Charles parishioners for the
tremendous response to help their aged and ill Sisters. The
Sisters’ Retirement Fund Collection totaled $7,332.22
-----Thank you for the Christmas collection of $60,600.
-----Thank you to all who responded so generously during the
October/November appeal to increase their “My Fair Share”
commitment for 2016. The results will “kick in” during January.
We have been told to expect a 15 to 20% increase in the overall
offertory. During the campaign, no mention was made in church.
Each parishioner/family was free to make their decision in the
privacy of their home. It has been suggested that our Business
Office send quarterly reminders as to where we stand on our
annual “My Fair Share” pledge. We will look into that.
-----Additional “thank you’s” to our many liturgical ministers,
ushers, choirs, cantors, musicians, decorators, church cleaners,
sacristans, servers, and directors. The church looked beautiful
and the liturgies were inspiring.
Thank you to our Office Staff who kept things going and
to the Maintenance Staff for keeping everything clean and
comfortable.
The Sisters join with us priests in offering a special word
of thanks to those who sent us cards, nice notes, gifts, and those
wonderful things from your kitchens. As Bing used to sing: “May
your days be merry and bright!”
Parish Council will meet this Thursday, January 14, at
7:45pm, in the JPII Room of the Activities Center.
