Education Committee Meeting this Monday night (November 12) at 6:30 PM. 

Pastoral Council Meeting this Monday night (November 12) at 7:30 PM.   

Diocese Annual Appeal:     Forty-Six (46) pledges/gifts totaling $8,903 have been received as of November 7.  The Diocese Annual Appeal is completely unrelated to the We Belong to Christ Capital campaign pledge cards we had earlier in the year.   An explanatory letter for this Diocesan Annual Appeal with brochure and pledge card was mailed Monday, October 1^st, to each parishioner.  Our target goal is reduced this year to $7,769 because St Charles has a Catholic School.  However, any amounts exceeding the target are fully rebated back to the Parish.  Last year these rebates totaled over $5000, helping meet parish expenses.  Thus, we again need pledges/gifts to significantly exceed the diocese target goal.  We hope to conclude this pledge campaign prior to Advent.  We ask you to pray over your decision.  Stewardship is a matter between you and God.

St Charles Parish Steak Fry and Auction December 1:  We will be holding a parish fundraiser and fellowship night at the Retreat Community Center on Saturday, December 1^. This will include a Steak Fry, Auction, and Music!  The fundraiser is in support of the general parish fund. The Steak Fry will run from 5 to 8 PM with the auction beginning at 8 PM.  We are in need of items for the auction such as baked goods, antiques, crafts, theme baskets, new tools, hunting items, etc.  No white elephant items please.  To reduce re-handling, we plan to receive the donated items during the day (Saturday, December 1).  The Parish Council is holding a further planning meeting Monday November 12 at 7:30 PM. Volunteers are needed for this event, and if you are able, please come to this meeting.  Advance Tickets are now available – please take and sell to the larger community, relatives, former parishioners, and school alumni.  We hope to make this an annual event.

CCD and Confirmation Classes will continue this Wednesday, November 14 at 6:45 PM at the school.

Christmas Decoration/Wreath Sale:  Thank you to everyone for a successful Christmas Decoration/Wreath sale.  The sale contributed $1,390 towards the St. Charles 7^th & 8^th grade Art trip and Retreat to be held in the spring of 2009.  Wreaths will be ready for pick up after Mass on Saturday/Sunday, November 17 & 18^th.  Other items will be ready for pick up December 1 & 2^nd.

Cemetery Memorial for Father Schulte:  The Cemetery Committee is soliciting donations for a Memorial to Father Schulte.  A beautiful Memorial Stone & Carving has been ordered for installation in the Spring at a cost of $9,000 and will add to the beauty and sacredness of the Cemetery.  Donations can be mailed to the parish or included in the collection basket identified as for the Memorial.  Total donations to-date:  $4245.  Any donations in excess of $9,000 will be used for perpetual care. 

RCIA Candidates:  Anyone interested in fully joining the Catholic Church (Baptism, and/or Confirmation), please contact Father Roy at the rectory.

Adopt A Door Program:  Thanks to all who donated to the Adopt a Door Program.  The classroom doors are in and look beautiful.  Next, we would like to replace the three bathroom doors.  Because of the type of closure they have, the cost will be $900 each.  Anyone interested in helping out can contact Lori George at 608-648-2024.  These doors are scheduled to be installed just after the first of the year.  Thanks everyone! Note: Free - anyone wanting the old five classroom doors, call Carrol at the school at 689-2642.

Church Bulletin:  Please forward your information for the church bulletin to the St. Charles School office by Wednesday of each week at 689‑2642 or stcharle@mwt.net
