ST. CHARLES 2020 CHALLENGE GRANT We have a NEW and exciting opportunity to earn a Challenge Grant for St. Charles School for $11,250 to use toward helping more families with financial aid next year! Now you can DOUBLE your impact because all donations will be MATCHED dollar-for-dollar! This matching grant was recently offered to us by CSCOE (Catholic School Center of Excellence). CSCOE understands that many families may need more financial aid than they have in past years. If we raise $11,250 this summer, then CSCOE will match this amount up to $11,250 to be used toward scholarships for families in need. This is an opportunity to support our school, our families, and take advantage of this generous matching grant from the Schulze Family Foundation. St. Charles has the opportunity to grow our mission and our enrollment even through these difficult times. This is an all-or-nothing grant! We have until August 31, 2020, to raise $11,250 and receive the matching grant amount. If we fall short, we will not receive the matching grant. We are confident we can meet and exceed this goal demonstrating we are truly invested in our community and our children’s future. Please prayerfully consider contributing what you can at this time. Any amount will help us reach our goal! Thank you in advance for your support for St. Charles School! Sacraments & Liturgy

PRAY THE ROSARY: Pope St. John Paul II said that, "To pray the Rosary is to hand over our burdens to the merciful hearts of Christ and His mother." Our world is greatly burdened and in need of great hope and salvation.

As St. Charles parishioners and more deeply, as Catholics, we have many reasons for tremendous hope. One that can be made so very public is the recitation of the rosary with beads in hand. Perhaps you don't even realize how many Catholics are in your neighborhood. Starting this weekend, join the whole community of believers by publicly praying for your neighborhood. Every Sunday, sometime in the afternoon or evening, we encourage you to grab your favorite beads, put on your walking shoes and get out onto the sidewalks! If we all go at a similar time you will not only provide a substantial witness and sign of hope for your non-Catholic neighbors, but you will be encouraged by how many Catholics live in your neighborhood!
Begin your rosary walk sometime during the 3:00 pm hour every Sunday
Walk alone or with friends or family
Pray quietly or aloud
Keep your beads out
Share hope and give a smile
Build your local culture into one of faith, hope, charity and life!
