Dear Friends, 


Jesus is famous for his parables. This week he teaches us about the stuff that really matters. Join us this weekend: 5:00 pm Saturday and 10 am Sunday in the church or on Zoom. COVID Precautions: A reminder that masks and hand sanitizer are always available when you come to church, allowing you full opportunity to follow current state/county recommendations. Or, if you prefer, you can worship via Zoom. The Zoom link for Mass is always: https://zoom.us/j/98155735623 or dial in by phone at 253-215-8782, Meeting ID: 981 5573 5623.

Care for Creation. St Charles is joining with other parishes around the nation in signing this open letter calling for congressional climate action. This effort is sponsored by Catholic Climate Covenant. Learn more about our parish Care 4 Creation team.
 
******************
3 Ways Catholics Can Respond to Gun Violence. 1) Pray: Prayer and good thoughts aren’t enough, but it reminds us that our response to violence must always be grounded in the love and mercy of Christ. 2) Reflect: Discern how you are being called to action by reflecting on Jesus in the Gospels, the teaching of the Church, and the lives of the saints. 3) Act: Find ways, big and small, to take actions that are doable for you but that also challenge you to grow deeper in faith and show more boldly the credibility of your Christian witness. Make a commitment to do small things with great love. Learn more here; scroll down to the theme: Act.
