thirty-week program includes weekly meetings, regular reading, retreats
and immersion experiences. Find registration forms in the Parish Office.
For more information, talk to parishioners wearing "Ask Me About

SPONSOR OF THE WEEK: Our thanks to Arlington Funeral Home for
their support.
FAITH FORMATION
If we truly believe that God is the Giver of all life, and that God
is "Father" (parent) of all, then human parents are never
the "owners" of their children. God has entrusted them with
the privilege and responsibility of raising God's own sons and daughters.
As parent, the way you behave - what you do - is more important than
what you say. For Better & Forever, Preparing for Christian Marriage,
Fr. Robert Ruhnke.

IN OUR PARISH
MORE DAILY READING AND REFLECTIONS LINKS ADDED TO PARISH WEBSITE
BASED ON SURVEY FEEDBACK
Several parishioners commented on the need for easier access to more
links to daily readings and reflections on the parish website during
last month's survey. Check out the Faith section of www.StCharlesChurch.org,
this week for expanded options, including a link to the Carmelites'
Pray the News site. In addition to great suggestions from parishioners,
the survey also generated interesting results. We received more responses
from attendees of the 6 PM Mass than from any other Mass - a change
from all previous years where the most responses came from the 11 AM
Mass. One respondent said, "The Parish is truly indebted to you
for the effort you expend to get information and for the professional
quality of your product. Keep up the good work!"
BIBLE STUDY FOR TEENS
All rising 8th graders through graduating high school seniors are cordially
invited to attend Velocity, a fun, media driven Bible Study especially
geared for teens! Come grow in the Lord and in the Sacred Scriptures
and grow in self-esteem and knowledge of yourself in the process. This
will be offered in the Youth Room on the second floor of the Community
Center Tuesdays & Thursdays from 7:30-9:00 pm on the following dates:
6/28, 7/5, 7/7, 7/12, 7/14, 7/19, 7/21, 7/26, 7/28, 8/16, 8/18, 8/30,
& 9/1. All Bible Study sessions stand alone, so you can come to
one session, several sessions, or all sessions! Call Twila Gavin at
(703) 350-4566 for more information or to sign up today!
