NEED HELP!
Our parish community is in need of someone to pick up flowers from a
parishioner's flower garden located near Clarendon at 10am on Fridays
until November. The flowers then need to be brought to the Church so
the flower arrangers can work their magic. The whole process takes about
30 minutes. If you can help, please contact Jan Prisco at 703-876-1937
or email at jprisco@stcharleschurch.org.

CATCH ADULT
EDUCATION HIGHLIGHTS ON WEBSITE
Visit your parish website, www.stcharleschurch.org, this week for highlights
from the recent adult education four-pack series. Or stop by to join
an e-mail list to keep informed, find volunteer
opportunities where you can put your gifts to good use or try our
do-it-yourself house blessing
if you just moved into a new place. The August celebrant's
schedule is there, too, so you can see who is saying Mass--based
on your requests, we now include the weekday and weekend schedule.
SPONSOR OF THE WEEK: Our thanks to Brain K. Madden (Bankruptcy
Attorney) for their support.
SMALL FAITH GROUPS FORMING FOR FALL
Over 120 parishioners participated in 6-week small faith groups during
Lent. We are now beginning to form small faiths groups that will meet
in the Fall. Most groups will meet for approximately 6 weeks. Most groups
are 6-10 folks. Depending on interest, groups may be formed to reflect
on:
- Sunday Scripture readings from Mass
- Spirituality and Work
- Spirituality of Marriage
- Newlywed faith sharing group
- Raising Faith Filled Kids
- Spirituality and Aging
- Bible Study
Our next step is to secure:
Facilitators: Basically, the leader of the group. Not the teacher or
the expert, just someone to help with communication and keep the group
on track each week. All materials are provided and no experience is
necessary. You can choose to meet in your home, at the parish, or in
another parishioner's home.
Hosts: Are you willing to open your home to a group but would rather
not lead the group? What a beautiful gift of hospitality.
Group Members: Are you interested in joining a group? Let us know.
All are welcome.
If you are interested please contact Michelle Miller, Director of Adult
Faith Formation at adultfaith@stcharleschurch.org
or call her at the parish at 703-527-5500 x115.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION---HELP NEEDED
We are in need of catechists and assistant catechists to share Jesus'
teaching with children in our parish on Sunday mornings during the 2006-07
school year. In particular, we hope to open a class to serve children
with special needs this year. If you have a background in special education
or experience working with special needs populations, please consider
volunteering in this very important new ministry in our parish. Contact
akaufmann@stcharleschurch.org.
703-527-5500 x119.
RELIGIOUS ED & YOUTH MINISTRY REGISTRATION

FOOD PANTRY
The Pantry needs the following items: canned green vegetables, canned
chunky soups, fruit, canned tuna, canned pasta such as ravioli, peanut
butter, jelly, pasta, pasta sauce, rice, muffin/pancake mix, breakfast
bars, cereal, small individual size packs of cookies crackers and fruit.
We do need smaller sized packaging, 1-pound cans or 16-ounce boxes…economy
sized are too big to pack effectively. We also need plain wholesome
food, no condiments, spices or exotic tastes needed. In addition, the
Food Pantry at St. Charles needs a steady supply of paper grocery bags
with handles, such as those from Trader Joe's, Harris Teeter, or Whole
Foods Market. Thanks for your continued and overwhelming generosity.
