St. Charles Bulletin for June 30, 2002
13th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear St. Charles Parishioners,
"Whoever gives a cup of water to these little ones to drink." This is the test of discipleship, care for children and vulnerable people.
Thanks for your support to today's tithe for Borromeo Housing and your paticipation in Music for Moms. Our outreach to mothers and children increasingly serves teen mothers. I invite you to join me in a presentation and dialogue on the outcome of the US Bishops' Meeting in Dallas, a Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People. Join me after the 6 PM Mass on June 30.
I thank the neighborhood Representatives who have reached out with summer activities and more than a cup of water to their neighbors!
Peace!
THE CONTEMPLATIVE WAY

there will be two additional sessions this summer: Tuesday, July 17 and
August 13, from 7:30 to 8:30 PM in the Chapel. Come and See. In the Fall,
there will be monthly sessions for Spiritual Growth in the Contemplative
Way. Call Jean Sweeney for info. at 703-527-5500 x15. Co-leader Lori Marie
