Today as I write this bulletin it is St. Patrick’s Day, and in two days we have St. Joseph’s Day. Both men are so different in their approach to the Gospels and yet we can learn something very intentional about following the Lord and sharing it with others. At the same time, I would like to inform you of the sched- ule for the next couple of weeks for our Palm Sunday and Holy Week, and Easter. There is lots of chatter about different color tiers for our community. We have seen how things are changing. Even just today for the first time in a year we welcomed Tk, K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade present in our campus Of course distance learning continues for our kids at home for our parochial school. As your parish team, we are listening to the guidelines and protocols put forth by the county, as well as the Arch- diocese. We received the Archdiocesan guidelines last week, and they really do not change anything from what we are doing now (the only new recommendation is to use gloves when we distribute the Palms on Palm Sunday). It is kind of miraculous that everything they are encouraging us to do is what we are already doing now. During Holy Week and Easter, we expect many more people to come, and we hope to be able to safely accommodate as many as we can with the following schedule: March 28, Palm Sunday 8:00am Drive-In Mass and Distribution of Palms 9:30am - 12:00 Noon Drive-In Communion and Distribution of Palms 11:00am Livestream English Mass - no congregation present 1:00pm Livestream Spanish Mass - no congregation present Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of Holy Week: Mass at 8:00am Piazza TRIDUUM April 1, Holy Thursday Evening Mass of the Lords Supper: Livestream 5:00PM no congregation present April 2, Good Friday Stations of the Cross: Livestream 12:00Noon followed by The Celebration of the Passion of the Lord, no congregation present 3:00pm - 4:00 pm Drive-In Adoration of the Cross April 3, Holy Saturday The Easter Vigil in the Holy Night, 5:00pm Livestream - no congregation present April 4, Easter Sunday 7:00am Easter Mass, Drive-In 9:00am Easter Mass, Drive-In 10:00-11:30am Drive-In Communion 11:00am Easter English Mass, Livestream - no congregation present 1:00pm Easter Spanish Mass, Livestream- no congregation present We are very hopeful in the near future to go back inside our St. Charles Church with all the safety protocols and using the latest technology we have to secure our safety from disinfecting to air filters already in place. We are also looking at the real- ity that it doesn’t seem like the six feet distancing is going away anytime soon. (Although chatter is changing, but as before, we will be diligent following CDC protocols and being safe) Presently in our church, using proper social distancing, we can only hold 98 people. This is why I am investing some parish resources to create a dual space where we can have the Mass streamed simultaneously to the Piazza outside. This will allow an additional 60 plus new spaces out there available for our community. I know that many people are still hesitant about going inside the church and hopefully this will help us all meet in the middle. Got to be creative. Got to be alive! Our Centennial celebration continues full steam. Vince is doing a wonderful job. This week, I was interviewed for the nar- rative film about our centennial. You are welcome to contact Vince and add to the narrative story, please give him a call and share your story and pictures. We have been engaged as leaders and ministers with close to 200 volunteers and parish and school staff with One Mission, One Faith and One Parish. We are looking ahead to see what the Lord will grant us in new opportunities to be Intentional Disciples of Jesus Christ in our Church. The Flocknote platform has really been helpful for us to continue virtually our evangelization, sign up for groups especially during Lent to grow in our faith and practice our faith. Let us continue looking ahead to new horizons full of hope with the Lord. For the near future, we will continue to do the Livestream of Mass and they will remain in our Stcharlesborromeochurch.org website and our Youtube channel. Lord, grant us the wisdom to continue listening and being prudent and trusting in YOU. Let us prepare for the coming Palm Sunday and Holy Week and Easter. Please be assured of my prayers for each of you. Fr. José Magaña, V.F. Be at peace, God will provide Page Three St. Charles Borromeo Church March 21, 2021 Del Escritorio del Padre José….. Hoy, mientras escribo este boletín, es el Día de San Patricio y en dos días tenemos el Día de San José. Ambos hombres son muy diferentes en su enfoque de los Evangelios y, sin embargo, podemos aprender algo muy intencional sobre seguir al Señor y compartirlo con los demás. Al mismo tiempo, me gustaría informarles del calendario de las próximas semanas para nuestro Domingo de Ramos, Semana Santa y Pascua. Hay mucha charla sobre los diferentes niveles de color para nuestra comunidad. Hemos visto cómo van cambiando las cosas. Incluso hoy, por primera vez en un año, dimos la bienvenida a Tk, K, 1º, 2º, 3º, 4º, 5º y 6º grado presentes en nuestro campus. Por supuesto, el aprendizaje a distancia continúa para nuestros niños en casa para nuestra escuela parroquial. Como su equipo parroquial, estamos escuchando las pautas y protocolos presentados por el con- dado, así como por la Arquidiócesis. Recibimos las pautas de la Arquidiócesis la semana pasada, y realmente no cambian nada de lo que estamos haciendo ahora (la única recomendación nueva es usar guantes cuando distribuimos las Palmas el Domingo de Ramos). Es un milagro que todo lo que nos están animando a hacer sea lo que ya estamos haciendo ahora. Du- rante la Semana Santa y Pascua, esperamos que venga mucha más gente, y esperamos poder acomodar con seguridad a la mayor cantidad posible con el siguiente horario: 28 de marzo, Domingo de Ramos 8:00 am Misa en autoservicio y distribución de palmas 9:30 am - 12:00 mediodía Comunión en el auto y distribución de palmas 11:00 am Misa en inglés en vivo - no hay congregación presente 1:00 pm Misa en español en vivo - no hay congregación presente Lunes, martes y miércoles de Semana Santa: Misa a las 8:00 am Piazza TRIDUO 1 de abril, Jueves Santo Misa vespertina de la Cena de los Lores: Transmisión en vivo 5:00 PM sin congregación presente 2 de abril, Viernes Santo Estaciones de la Cruz: Transmisión en vivo a las 12:00 del mediodía seguida de La Celebración de la Pasión del Señor, no hay congregación presente. 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm Adoración de la cruz en autocine 3 de abril, Sábado Santo La Vigilia Pascual en la Noche Santa, 5:00 pm Transmisión en vivo - no hay congregación presente 4 de abril, Domingo de Resurrección 7:00 am Misa de Pascua, Drive-In 9:00 am Misa de Pascua, Drive-In 10: 00-11: 30am Comunión al aire libre 11:00 am Misa de Pascua en inglés, transmisión en vivo - no hay congregación presente 1:00 pm Misa de Pascua en español, transmisión en vivo, no hay congregación presente Tenemos muchas esperanzas en el futuro cercano de regresar a nuestra Iglesia de St. Charles con todos los protocolos de seguridad y utilizando la última tecnología que tenemos para garantizar nuestra seguridad desde la desinfección hasta los filtros de aire que ya están en su lugar. También estamos viendo la realidad de que no parece que el distanciamiento de seis pies vaya a desaparecer pronto. (Aunque la charla está cambiando, pero como antes, seremos diligentes siguiendo los proto- colos de los CDC y estando seguros) Actualmente, en nuestra iglesia, utilizando el distanciamiento social adecuado, solo po- demos contener a 98 personas. Es por eso que estoy invirtiendo algunos recursos parroquiales para crear un espacio dual donde podamos transmitir la Misa simultáneamente a la Piazza afuera.

  • Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register –901 Lawrence Avenue West
    REPORT FOR ACTION Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register – 901 Lawrence Avenue West Date: July 13, 2018 To: Toronto City Council From: Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division Wards: Ward 15 - Eglinton Lawrence SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council include the property at 901 Lawrence Avenue West on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The property is located to the west of Dufferin Street on the south side of Lawrence Avenue West. The property contains the Columbus Centre, which is the focal point of a landscaped setting at the heart of a campus of properties all with strong associations to the Italian community since 1972. The property also contains the former St. Mary's Training School and grounds operated by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd from 1941-1973. Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the property at 901 Lawrence Avenue West meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City applies when considering properties for inclusion on its Heritage Register. The property at 901 Lawrence Avenue West has been the subject of a redevelopment application which would result in the demolition of the Columbus Centre. The inclusion of 901 Lawrence Avenue West on the City's Heritage Register would identify the property's cultural heritage values and heritage attributes. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Inclusion on Heritage Register - 901 Lawrence Avenue West Page 1 of 37 RECOMMENDATIONS The Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, recommends that: 1.

  • Missionary Sisters of Saint Charles Borromeo - Scalabrinians
    In this first volume of the history of the Missionary Sisters of Saint Charles – Scalabrinians that covers the period of 1895 – 1934, Sister Lice Maria Signor dedicates herself patiently in giving an attractive and documented form, the historical path of the MSCS Congregation and does it under diverse aspects: social, economic, political, cultural, ecclesial and religious. It is evidenced her determination in looking at the elements to construct our history and to show how the existence of the MSCS Sisters Congregation, is a historic/missionary path of evangelic service to the migrants, that become the incarnation of the words of Jesus Christ: “I was a stranger and you welcomed me” (Mt. 25,35). “Seeds emigrate on the wings of the wind, plants emigrate from continent to continent, carried by the water currents, birds and animals emigrate, but more than all, man emigrates, now in a collective form, now in an isolated form but always an instrument of that Providence that presides over the destiny of humans and guides them, also by catastrophes, for the final goal, that of perfectioning man over the land and the glory of God in the heavens” (Scalabrini).

November 2009 PERSONAL GUIDES POWERED BY traveldk.com 1 Top 10 Attractions Milan and the Lakes Travel Guide Leonardo’s Last Supper The Last Supper , Leonardo da Vinci’s 1495–7 masterpiece, is a touchstone of Renaissance painting. Since the day it was finished, art students have journeyed to Milan to view the work, which takes up a refectory wall in a Dominican convent next to the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. The 20th-century writer Aldous Huxley called it “the saddest work of art in the world”: he was referring not to the impact of the scene – the moment when Christ tells his disciples “one of you will betray me” – but to the fresco’s state of deterioration.

Venerable Brethren and Beloved Children, Health and Apostolic Benediction. Representative on earth of that divine Master who while embracing in the immensity of His love all mankind, even unworthy sinners, showed nevertheless a special tenderness and affection for children, and expressed Himself in those singularly touching words: "Suffer the little children to come unto Me,"[1] We also on every occasion have endeavored to show the predilection wholly paternal which We bear towards them, particularly by our assiduous care and timely instructions with reference to the Christian education of youth. 2. And so, in the spirit of the Divine Master, We have directed a helpful word, now of admonition, now of exhortation, now of direction, to youths and to their educators, to fathers and mothers, on various points of Christian education, with that solicitude which becomes the common Father of all the Faithful, with an insistence in season and out of season, demanded by our pastoral office and inculcated by the Apostle: "Be instant in season, out of season; reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine."[2] Such insistence is called for in these our times, when, alas, there is so great and deplorable an absence of clear and sound principles, even regarding problems the most fundamental. 3.

  • St. Charles Borromeo Charles Borromeo Was Born in October of 1538
    St. Charles Borromeo Charles Borromeo was born in October of 1538. These were turbulent times for the Church which was in the midst of perhaps her greatest crisis. Christendom was divided. The medieval church was breaking up. Despite open revolt, reform seemed difficult even to imagine.1 The popular preacher John Geiler of Strasburg would declare, "Since neither pope, nor emperor, kings nor bishops will reform our life, God will send a man for the purpose."2 Charles Borromeo was such a man and, while we should not assert that he (or anyone else) single handedly reformed the Church, he was a unifying principal and a driving force behind the reform of the 16th century. He would, by virtue of his zeal for reform and his ecclesial position, play a pivotal role in the Catholic Reformation.3 He is, with Pope St. Pius V, St. Philip Neri, and St. Ignatius Loyola, considered among the four outstanding men of the Catholic reform.4 St. Charles was a reformer in the true, Catholic sense. His whole life centered on the reform of his beloved Church. He seemed destined by God to fulfill this great work.5 Surely then the following pages must focus on that aspect of his life that so consumed him. While the format will be essentially a biography, the focus will necessarily be his historical role in the reform of the Church. Charles Borromeo was born of a noble family of Milan, the third of six children. In his parents we may see the precursors of his own piety and drive for reform.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI TO CARDINAL DIONIGI TETTAMANZI, ARCHBISHOP OF MILAN, ON THE OCCASION OF THE 400TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CANONIZATION OF ST CHARLES BORROMEO LUMEN CARITATIS To my Venerable Brother Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi Archbishop of Milan Lumen caritatis. The light of charity of St Charles Borromeo has illumined the whole Church and, by renewing the miracles of the love of Christ, our Supreme and Eternal Pastor, has brought new life and new youthfulness to God’s flock, which was going through sorrowful and difficult times. For this reason I join with all my heart in the joy of the Ambrogian Archdiocese in commemorating the fourth centenary of the Canonization of this great Pastor on 1 November 1610. 1. The time in which Charles Borromeo lived was very delicate for Christianity. In it the Archbishop of Milan gave a splendid example of what it means to work for the reform of the Church. There were many disorders to sanction, many errors to correct and many structures to renew; yet St Charles strove for a profound reform of the Church, starting with his own life. It was in himself, in fact, that the young Borromeo promoted the first and most radical work of renewal. His career had begun promisingly in accordance with the canons of that time: for the younger son of the noble family Borromeo, a future of prosperity and success lay in store, an ecclesiastical life full of honours but without any ministerial responsibilities; he also had the possibility of assuming the direction of the family after the unexpected death of his brother Federico.
