We need it in order to understand ourselves, personally and collectively. The pieces of our histories may not have always been the most positive, honest, exemplary, dignified, proud and best moments of our lives, but they are ours. We have to acknowledge, remember, accept, and often heal them. We cannot forget them or pretend that they never existed. As horrible as the atrocities of events like Auschwitz, brutal injustices committed throughout the human journey, or personal painful experiences in our own stories, we need to remember. These times when humanity in general or people in particular have lost their way are times that need to be reconciled and redeemed.

If we lose the memories, we will make the same mistakes again. The human soul needs a strong sense of affirmation, direction, and clear purpose. Without these essentials, we will easily run amuck and repeat the sins of our past. God’s voice throughout history has spoken precisely about this! We are reminded through the voices and example of many prophets and witnesses not to make the same mistakes again, come back to center, discover the purpose given to us by God, maintain a sense of proper direction, seek healing for wounds and be reconciled to our Creator.

Baptism is so incredibly important for the salvation of humankind, not only eternally but MASS SCHEDULE here and now. Our existence depends upon it. It gives us the affirmation we need from God by gifting us with the same intimate relationship Jesus had with the Father. We are Saturday (St. Anne): 4:30pm blessed with the direction and clear purpose we need in order to be productive stewards Sunday (St. Charles): and faithful Christians. Baptism calls us to remember, accept, and deal with the sins and 8am, 10am, & 12pm inequities of our past regardless of how hurtful and serious. We consciously choose to turn away from them and put on the new life of Christ. To do this well, we must look hard

and long at our sins and failings, listen to what they are saying and learn from them. If we Weekday Masses ignore the past, collectively or personally, or pretend that it never happened, we will never Monday & Wednesday: grow. We will surely die. 8:30am (St. Charles) Tuesday & Friday (except 1st Friday): People need to hear the message, lived and spoken, 9:00am (St. Anne) delivered by the baptized members of the Body of Christ. It is an essential message of hope that is layered with visions First Friday: 8:30am (St. Charles) of justice, peace, reconciliation, redemption, blessing, and First Saturday: 8am Holy Hour & healing. It is a message that helps us remember what has 9am Mass (St. Charles) gone before, the graces and the sins, and bring ourselves by God’s help where we need to be. We are called to do much more than sit home behind our closed doors. We have a CONFESSIONS: message to deliver. Are we ready to do so? 3:00pm Saturdays at St. Anne 6:30pm Tuesdays at St. Charles ©LPi

Hello from the 4th Grade! Welcome back all! We hope you had a beautiful Christmas break and Happy New Year! The 4th Graders and I were ready to get back into the swing of things. All of them have been working really hard on their reading and comprehension through Accelerated Reader. They are determined to meet their personal goals! In Math, we wrapped up multi digit multiplication, and are now working on division. They are also working very hard on memorizing those multiplication facts, 100 facts in 2 ½ minutes. Recently, in Science we have been talking about ecosystems and how all the different parts depend on the others. They are also working on their ecosystem project, which showcases their chosen ecosystem and then they will present their facts about it to the class. Finally, in Social Studies, we are wrapping up Chapter 4 which focuses on the Southeast region of the United States. Enjoy your weekend and remember to take that time to sit down & enjoy a book. Happy reading everyone!
