 Divine Mercy Sunday:    Pope JPII declared the 2nd Sunday of Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday.  Jesus said "…tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon the souls who approach the Fount of My Mercy. On that day all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet.... Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy". (Sr Faustina Diary 699)

The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick:  Anointing of the Sick, one of the seven Sacraments, is recommended for any serious illness or medical procedure, and for the elderly in a weakened condition.  The Sacrament can be repeated for new illnesses or if renewal or worsening of the first illness. The sacrament renews confidence and faith in God and strengthens against temptations to discouragement and anguish.  It thus leads to spiritual healing with forgiveness of sins and, sometimes, to bodily healing as well.  The Sacrament can be given at home, in the hospital or nursing home.  Simply call Fr Roy at the rectory (689-2646).

Recruiting New Diaconate Class Applicants See the attached information to the bulletin, and call Fr Roy if interested.  Deacons are becoming important to the diocese – they can baptize, and officiate at weddings and funeral services, and preach the homily during Mass.  Diaconate candidates can be married.

 

The St. Charles PTO Annual Spring Carnival will be held today Sunday, March 30th from 11 AM to 2 PM.  There are fun games and carnival foods so bring the family and join the fun!  Thank you for continued support of the St. Charles School.

 

Fr Roy on Retreat til Friday:  Please call Frex if any emergencies arise.

 

Church Lighting Brighter:  Thanks to the generosity of Duane Jambois, and the ingenuity of Greg Werner, our Church lighting over the pews is brighter, (particularly noticeable at night).  We briefly investigated new chandeliers but ours are more beautiful than almost anything available.  Thus, Greg was asked to come up with new wiring and more powerful light bulbs for the existing fixtures.  And he succeeded (after spending much time above the ceiling, in the Sacristy, and in the basement).  Please thank Duane and Greg when you see them.

 

CCD/Confirmation Classes this Week:   Classes continue this Wednesday, April 2 at 6:45 PM at the school.

 

School Year Extended:  The 2007-2008 will be extended to Friday June 5th to make up missed days and to coincide with the De Soto School District.

 

Fr Schulte Cemetery Memorial Goal Reached:  The goal of $9,000 has been exceeded ($9450).  The Cemetery Committee has ordered a beautiful Stone & Carving in Memorial of Fr Schulte for installation in the spring at a cost of $9,000.  This will add to the beauty and sacredness of the Cemetery.  Any excess funds will be used for perpetual care.  A Dedication Service & Luncheon is being planned for Sunday May 25 after the 10:00 AM Mass.

 

Benefit Planned for 3 ˝ year old Jordan Lomen daughter of Chad and Vicki Lomen and granddaughter of Larry and Kathy Pedretti.  Jordan was diagnosed with Acute Lymphatic Leukemia on Jan 14, 2008.  The benefit for Jordan, to help with medical and family expenses, is on May 10, 2008 at the Retreat Community Center from 2:00 PM until 12:00 AM.  There will be raffles, Chinese auction, bake sale, music, food and beverages.  Donated baked goods are needed and can be dropped off at Steve’s Country Meats on Friday May 9 between 3 and 5 PM.  For further information, contact Kathy Pedretti at 689-2384.

 

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
