1st Annual St Charles Parish Steak Fry & Fellowship/Holiday Party – Parishioner Volunteers Needed! Our Parish is holding a Fundraiser and Holiday/Fellowship night at the Retreat Sportsman Club, this Saturday, December 1^.  The Steak Fry will run from 5 to 8 PM, followed by a live auction including a Fishing Boat, Tools, Crafts, Homemade Pies, and Antiques.  Also a silent auction, gun raffle, Live Music, other activities and refreshments continue to midnight.  Dinner Tickets are $10 and are good for a $100 drawing at 10:30 PM (must be present to win).   Auction items are needed such as baked goods, antiques, crafts, theme baskets, new tools, hunting items, etc.  No white elephant items please.  To reduce re-handling, please bring the donated auction items directly to the Retreat Sportsman Club beginning early Friday afternoon and all day Saturday, December 1.  The Parish Council is holding a final planning meeting tomorrow (Monday) November 26 at 7:30 PM. Volunteer Sign-Up Sheets are in the Vestibule – please volunteer a few hours either Friday afternoon/evening and/or Saturday morn/aft/evening.  Advance Tickets money should now be turned in so we can better estimate the food requirements, but continue selling Advance Tickets to the surrounding Community, Alumni, friends and relatives.  Tickets can also be purchased at the door.

Praise for St Charles School:  Please read the letter attached to this bulletin from a retired Catholic School Principal (had been Principal in Winona, La Crosse, and St Mary’s Ridge) who spent two days recently as an Observer at our School.  Our St Charles Founders and Ancestors, and Parents and Staff from the last 100 Years must be proud.

Diocese Annual Appeal:  Sixty-Four (64) pledges/gifts totaling $11,713 have been received as of November 20.  We hope to conclude this pledge and gift campaign in the next two weekends.  We ask you to pray over your decision.  Stewardship is a matter between you and God.

CCD/Confirmation Classes this Week:   Classes this Wednesday November 28 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 2008.  Remaining Wreaths and Other Items will be ready for pick up after Mass December 1 and 2.

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:  $5380.  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.

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
