FROM OUR PASTOR Dear St. Charles Parishioners: This weekend we offer our prayer for the parish youth whom participate in a vocation retreat. They discern God's call in their lives as they plan their future. As well as a committed life as a lay person, we hope they give consideration to the call to the religious life and the priesthood. Fr Curtis Clark has called for the formation of Parish Vocations Committees to foster an ongoing interest in this area. We especially want our Latin American youth to feel a sense of access to roles of leadership in their committee, please contact our seminarian Kevin, or Anne Marie Kaufman, our Youth and RE minister. Call the parish office at 703-527-5500.. "Speak Lord, your servant is listening!" RCIA NEWS Are you interested in learning more about the Catholic faith, or do you know someone who is?
