River Bank Charities Fund Donates $2000 to St Charles School  We are most grateful to have received a timely (unsolicited) donation of $2000 from River Bank Charities Fund for our St Charles School.  We sometimes wonder where we will get the money to pay our bills, and then help unexpectedly arrives. 

Diocese Annual Appeal:  Twelve (17) pledges/gifts totaling $2740 have been received as of November 1.  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.

Parish/School Kitchen Complete! The Kitchen is beautiful, functional, operational, and complete!  An open house was held last weekend.  A final detailed cost will be published in the bulletin soon.

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 be held this Wednesday, November 7 at 6:45 pm.

Veteran’s Day Mass will be at 9 AM on Thursday, November 8^th with a program beginning at 10:30 AM at St. Charles School. Please RSVP the school (689-2642) if attending, and planning to stay for lunch.

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:  $3995.  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 is moving along well.  The 5 classroom doors have been installed.  Anyone who offered adoption funds should send a check to Lori George at S8386 Lawrence Ridge Road in De Soto.  If there is anyone still interested in adopting a door, we will be getting a quote on the bathroom doors to be the next phase of the project.  We will move ahead with them when the funds are received.  Thanks to everyone for helping our wonderful little school improve and beautify!

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
