 From the Pastor’s Pen
Justice for Immigrants:
The Time is Now
While our Church has been active in the struggle for just
and humane immigration reform for over a decade, in the
past year the U.S. Catholic Bishops, have emerged as one of
the strongest moral voices in the nation. We are now calling
upon you to join our Church in telling our elected officials
that they need to:
 Stop deportations of parents of U.S. Citizen children-keep families united;
 Pass Immigration Reform
 No more deaths at the border or in detention centers.
Here in our own Archdiocese, Yesenia Miranda, who is 11
years old and a U.S. citizen, watched ICE arrest her father in
her own home. He was then sent to a detention center and
deported. In her testimony to her Congressperson, Yesenia
acknowledges that her father is a good person who came to
St. Louis without papers so that she could have a better life.
Yesenia also stands in solidarity with all children who have
experienced her loss, writing, "We are humans and it is an
injustice to be separated from our parents." As members of
the Body of Christ through our Baptism, we need to stand in
solidarity with these children and their families and work to
end this injustice.
Last month at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast,
Cardinal Sean O'Malley repeated Pope Francis's call that,
"love and justice must motivate us to work for the transformation of our own hearts, so that we can transform the
world around us."
You can help NOW by calling the House of Representatives at 1-855-589-5698. The operator will ask for your zip
code, then ask them to give your Representative this message: Include a path for citizenship for undocumented immigrants and maintain family unity by preserving a family immigration system.
Pope Francis Speaks to our Hearts
We Are All Equal in the Church
What does the Holy Spirit do among us? He designs
the variety which is a wealth in the Church and unites us,
each and ever one, to constitute a spiritual temple in which
we do not offer material sacrifices but ourselves, our life
(cf. 1 Peter 2: 4-5). The Church is not a fabric woven of

things and interests; she is the Temple of the Holy Spirit,
the Temple in which God works, the Temple in which, with
the gift of Baptism, each one of us is a living stone. This
tells us that no one in the Church is useless, and if from
time to time someone says to someone else, “Go home, you
are not good,” this is not true. For no one is no good in the
Church; we are all necessary for building this Temple! No
one is secondary. No one is the most important person in
the Church; we are all equal in God’s eyes. Some of you
might say, “Listen, Mr. Pope, you are not our equal.” Yes,
I am like each one of you; we are all equal, we are brothers
and sisters!
Good News of Jesus Working
in our Borromeo Family
Congratulations to our OASIS Volunteers who were recently
honored at the Rigali Center for marking 5 years of service to
our Borromeo School children. Honored were Kathy Classen,
Betty Gutermuth, Kathy Fink, Mary Kantz, Doris Ohlms, Judy
Funke and John Weber.
Prayer of the Week
for our Holy Father
Lord Jesus Christ,
We ask Your abundant blessings on our spiritual
leader, Pope Francis. Send your Holy Spirit upon him
that he may be a brother to all of his faithful and a
true servant to Almighty God. Strengthen him daily
to complete the immense duties of the Church with
grace and compassion. Allow him to be a humble
leader who strives to bring peace, justice and truth
into our world. Above all, bestow upon our Holy
Father Your gifts of faith, hope and love so that he
unceasingly proclaims Your Holy Name.
Mother Mary and all the holy angels and saints
of God, we ask you to guide Pope Francis this day
and always.
Amen.
Spread the Gospel, the Good News
about Jesus and His Borromeo Family!
Your Brother in Jesus,
Father John
We offer our prayerful sympathy to Rich (and Pat) Hamilton on the death of his father Louis Hamilton, and to
Rosy Ramos on the death of her father Jesus Vazquez. May they and all the faithful departed rest in peace.

Gospel Reflection
Peter named Jesus as the Messiah in this gospel. Later
Jesus named Peter as the foundation of the earthly
Church and gave him the keys of power. Peter was to be
like the steward of a palace making decisions for the
Church community. God promised to stand behind Peter’s decisions.
Sometimes it seems like an awesome responsibility, but
children look to their parents on which they build many
things: their trust in other people, their hope, and certainly their faith in God’s promises. The way our children
see us respond to others, what they hear us say, and
what they see us do, will shape who Jesus is in their lives.
Taking a moment to pray for guidance and wisdom before we act or react to a situation may be just enough to
let Jesus in.

THANK YOU for the great love you show to our Borromeo
Family carrying on the work of Jesus and to those in need by
the generosity you display when you share your Treasure,
and all God’s gifts to you, given for others.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race.”
2 Tim. 4:7
Stewardship is not an easy life style. No one promised
that it would be. It is counter-cultural to most things in
the world today. However, putting God first in all
things, living a life of gratitude and being generous
with our time, talent and treasure brings tremendous
joy to those who are disciplined Fight the good fight
and keep the faith!
We pray that we continue to “fight the good fight” and “keep
the faith.”

LADIES SODALITY ANNUAL
by Kristen Crow
After seeing the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and
Sandy, the Good Friday Tornadoes in 2011, the Oklahoma Tornadoes, and the other recent natural disasters
in our country, I thought, Is my neighborhood/town pre-
Monday, July 21
11:30am in the gym
pared if a natural disaster like these hit us here in St.
Charles?
I am working with Mrs. Hoffman to provide emergency response backpacks. The backpacks will be filled
with supplies for the faculty emergency response team.
While the school already has emergency supplies, the
backpack supplies would be used in a crisis such as an
earthquake, containing clipboards, batteries, dust masks,
tape, safety goggles, etc. I am asking for your help. I am
collecting monetary donations to pay for the cost of supplies for the backpacks.
Any donation would be gratefully accepted. Checks
can be made out to “SCB” with “Girl Scout Gold Award”
on the memo line. Donations can be turned in to either
the school or parish office.
Thank you so much for helping me with this project.
Your donations are a great help to making this project a
success.

In today’s Gospel we hear Jesus say:
“Whoever gives only a cup of cold water to
one of these little ones to drink because the
little one is a disciple—amen, I say to you,
he will surely not lose his reward.”
Last month, through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent
de Paul was able to bring the peace of God to the poor
by assisting 106 families, providing 323 meals at the soup
kitchen, and $5,230.80 for utility and rent bills, etc.
Thank you! For more info, call Joyce Cain 636-448-2021.

Our Parish’s
Jesuit Spiritual Foundation
The world is becoming more aware of, and attracted to,
the spirituality of Pope Francis, the first Jesuit pope.
The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, and its principles
and prayer methods provide a foundation for Jesuit
spirituality and outlook. Pope Francis exudes the joy of
knowing Jesus, and he views the Gospels in imaginative
ways, which both reflect important components of the
Spiritual Exercises. The Bridges Foundation, Inc. will
sponsor an Information Session for those wishing to
experience the Spiritual Exercises.

Communion. One of our priests would visit first, then

St. Charles Borromeo Religious Education
Registrations for the Parish School of Religion and Preschool during 8:30 Mass is underway now! Planning
over the summer helps us jump start the fall session. Classes begin August 17. Registration materials are available on our
parish website. From the home page, select “Religious Education”.
Classes are offered for students from three years old out of diapers through Confirmation preparation.
***Parents are reminded that children desiring a sacrament must attend one full year
of formal religious education prior to that Sacrament begin received.***
Parish School of Religion Overview
The Parish School of Religion provides religious formation for the families in our parish whose children attend public
school. Our program instructs children in our parish family as a community of believers in the Catholic faith. These instructions include faith-enriching experiences such as liturgies, prayer, sacramental preparation, Stations of the Cross, Living Rosary, discussions leading to moral awareness and community service and lessons on the rich teachings and traditions
of our Catholic heritage. Because parents are the primary educators and the home is the domestic church, they are involved at all levels through out the school year. Our parish offers the PSR program to assist parents in fulfilling their obligations as primary educators of our Catholic faith. The cooperation between parents and catechists results in responsible
behavior essential for the growth of the student as a contributing member of the Christian community.
Are you interested in Pre-school for ages 3 to 5 during 10am Mass?
If so, please contact Becca McCullough, [email protected] to discuss possibilities!

SCB Pro Life Ministry
Essay by Nathan Burke
Chastity is refraining from sexual intercourse, being
morally clean, and not having sexual relations before
marriage. The Church teaches us about chastity by helping us remember what God wants us to do. God tells us
to only have intercourse to produce life, not because of
a passion or desire for it. 1 Cor. 7: 8-9 says, “To the
unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them
to remain single as I do. But if they cannot exercise selfcontrol, they should marry. For it is better to marry
than to be aflame with passion.” When we listen to this
reading and do what God asks of us, we practice chastity. We violate chastity by committing sins of sexual
nature, especially at a young age.
If people have intercourse at a young age or before
they are married it can lead to an abortion. An abortion is ending the unborn child’s life. People choose to
have an abortion because they feel they can’t take care
of their baby, feel they wouldn’t have enough money,
they feel embarrassed or that they simply don’t want a
baby in their lives. Most of the time when people get
abortions, they start to feel guilt and regret because of
how they ended their baby’s life. Even if people are
having a baby, they can prevent an abortion by giving
the baby to an adoption center. Probably the best way
to prevent abortion is by practicing chastity and waiting
to produce life after marriage.
In conclusion, chastity is a very important virtue
everyone should practice. Practicing chastity is doing
what God wants us to do and shows respect to life.
Chastity is God’s way of saying respect every human life.
I believe in practicing chastity and respecting God’s great
gift of life. Practicing chastity blesses me, along with
everyone else, with true holiness, health and happiness.

10 things most people don’t know about Pope Francis
from Catholic News Service
When then-Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina was elected pope on March 13, 2013,not many people outside South
America had heard of him. Now, just one year since his March 13, 2013 election, there are still many things most people
do not know about the 265th successor of Peter. Among the interesting things about our pope:

Has a way with birds:
Pope Francis expertly handled
a white dove and a green parrot during different general audiences in St. Peter’s Square. According to the
pope’s sister, Maria Elena Bergoglio, the future pope
had a parrot when he was in the seminary. And because he loved to play jokes, she said, “I wouldn’t
put it past him that he taught the little beast a swear
word or two, instead of how to pray.”

Has colorful work experience on his resume:
In addition to having worked sweeping floors in a factory
and running tests in a chemical laboratory as a teenager, the pope also used to work as a bouncer. Later,
when he was no longer kicking troublemakers out of
clubs, he taught high school literature and psychology, which, he said, helped him discover the secret to
bring people back . . . to church.

Was a Jesuit Oskar Schindler:
When then-Father Bergoglio was head of the Jesuit province in Argentina,
he ran a clandestine network that sheltered or shuttled to safety people whose lives were in danger during the nation’s murderous military-backed dictatorship. According to witnesses, the future pope never
let on to anyone what he was doing, and those who
were helping him find rides or temporary housing for
“guests” never realized they had been part of his secret strategy until years later.

Is a homebody with missionary zeal:
Even though he
has traveled extensively, the future pope considers
himself “a homebody” who easily gets homesick.
However, he wanted to join the Society of Jesus because of its image as being “on the frontlines” for the
Church and its work in mission lands.

Has an achy back:
When the pope was 21, the upper
half of his right lung was removed after cysts caused a
severe lung infection. While that episode never
caused him further health problems, he said his current complaint is sciatica. The worst thing to happen
in his first month as pope was “an attack of sciatica,”
he said. “I was sitting in an armchair to do interviews
and it hurt. Sciatica is very painful, very painful! I
don’t wish it on anyone!”

Was
the strongest contender behind then-Cardinal
Joseph Ratzinger in the 2005 conclave. If the Argentine had been elected pontiff then, he would have
chosen the name John after Pope Saint John XXIII
and taken his inspiration from “the Good Pope,” ac-
cording to Italian Cardinal Francesco Marchisano.
However, during the 2013 conclave, Brazilian Cardinal Claudio Hummes told the newly elected pope,
“Don’t forget the poor,” and that, the pope said, is
when it struck him to take the name of St. Francis of
Assisi, “the man of poverty, the man of peace, the
man who loves and protects creation.”

Starts his day at 4:30 a.m.
“I pray the breviary every
morning. I like to pray with the Psalms. Then, later,
I celebrate Mass. I pray the rosary,” he has said. His
workday includes reading letters, cards, documents
and reports, as well as meeting cardinals, bishops,
priests and laypeople. He eats lunch between noon
and 1pm, then rests for about 30 minutes before returning to work. But his favorite part of the day is
Eucharistic adoration in the evening, when he often
falls asleep in prayer. “Between 7 and 8 o’clock, I
stay in front of the Blessed Sacrament for an hour in
adoration. But I pray mentally even when I am waiting at the dentist or at other times of the day,” he
said.

Can juggle a lot of plates:
Jesuit Father Juan Carlos
Scannone, the pope’s friend and former professor of
Greek and literature, said the pope is “a one-man
band” who can juggle many different tasks at the
same time. “Once I saw him writing an article on the
typewriter, then go do his laundry, then received
someone who needed spiritual guidance. Spiritual
work, a technician and a manual laborer all at the
same time and with the same high quality,” the priest
said.

Travels light:
When he boarded the papal plane for
Brazil last July, people were stunned the pope was
carting around his own carry-on bag. What’s inside?
“It wasn't the key for the atom bomb,” he told journalists. “There was a razor, a breviary, an appointment book, a book to read, I brought one about St.
Therese, to whom I have a devotion. I have always
taken a bag with me when traveling—it’s normal.”

Had
his “Hog” help the homeless: Pope Francis
briefly owned what became the most expensive 21st
century Harley-Davidson motorbike in the world.
Though he prefers walking and cheaper car models,
Harley-Davidson gave him a brand new Dyna Super
Glide last June that the pope autographed and put up
for auction, raising a hefty $326,000 for a Rome
soup kitchen and homeless shelter.
