St. Charles Challenge: CELEBRATE

On Mondays, St. Charles Church has lectures and talks as part of our Adult Faith Formation programs. This talk, given by Fr. Don Planty on Monday, October 7, 2019, is the fourth of a series of four St. Charles Challenge workshops to help us live out our Catholic Faith.

In describing the Christian community, Acts 2:42 displays for us the four foundational habits of Christian discipleship: "They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles (LEARN) and to the communal life (SHARE), to the breaking of the bread (CELEBRATE) and to the prayers (PRAY)." We encourage every member of our parish community to pursue the more abundant life of Jesus, devoting him or herself to the four pillars of Christian discipleship by adopting the St. Charles Challenge.
