Welcome to St. Charles Borromeo!
Pope Francis
Speaks to our Hearts
Christ Renews His Parish
A witness from a Borromeo member
For me, I was a little overwhelmed by the idea of an
entire weekend spent with “strangers.” But they weren’t strangers—they were my neighbors, the lady who sat
in the pew in front of me at Sunday Mass (but I never
bothered to learn her name), the woman with the beautiful voice, the soccer mom I saw in the parking lot. People who had been all around me, and on the same journey of wanting to know Jesus better. And the “entire
weekend” turned out to be about 28 hours. Hardly my
entire weekend.
But I cam away from my CRHP weekend profoundly grateful for the gift of that special time. My soul felt
refreshed and renewed and light as a feather. I now
knew the names of many people who had been sharing
the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist with me every
week, but who I had never bothered to learn even their
names before the weekend. I now feel a sense of community and peace and stillness in my busy life.
I encourage you to take a 28-hour breather from
your busy schedules and give yourself the gift of a
CRHP weekend. It’s a special gift to yourself from your
loving parish family.
To register, go to the parish website
and select the CRHP button:
www.borromeoparish.com
The women’s weekend is in one week:
February 7/8
A Place of Mercy
May the Church be a place of God’s mercy and hope,
where all feel welcomed, loved, forgiven, and encouraged to live according to the good life of the Gospel.
And to make others feel welcomed, loved, forgiven, and
encouraged, the Church must be with doors wide open
so that all may enter. And we must go out through these
doors and proclaim the Gospel.
Reflection: How can you make the church a more wel-
coming, merciful place? Who is Jesus calling you to reach
out to? Find someone this week to encourage.
For more inspiring and practical words from our Holy
Father, please go to the official Vatican Network
NEWS.VA.
Prayer of the Week
O God of Love,
You have united our parish family.

forgiveness, and acceptance.
Amen.
Spread the Gospel, the Good News
about Jesus and His Borromeo Family!
Your Brother in Jesus,

THANK YOU
for the great love you show to our Borromeo Family carrying
on the work of Jesus and to those in need by the generosity
you display when you share your Treasure, and all God’s gifts
to you, given for others.
“Brothers and sisters: I should like you to be free of
anxieties.”
1 Corinthians 7:32
How much anxiety do we bring upon ourselves by constantly worrying about not having enough or attaining
more things? God won’t necessarily give you everything you want, but He will provide everything you
need. Try this—use the word “pray” instead of the
word “worry” in the future.
We pray that we may open our hearts to give more freely,
thus opening ourselves to receive more fully all of God’s simple and abundant blessings.
ST. LOUIS REVIEW If you wish to receive our Archdiocesan newspaper, please use the envelope in your
packet. If you wish NOT to receive the Review, please mark “NO” on your envelope or send us a note.
Give Yourself the Gift of Time—You Deserve It!
What is CRHP? CRHP is Christ Renews His Parish. CRHP is a Gift from the Lord. You are invited to
take time out of your busy life to discover how to connect your Catholic faith more deeply with your life.
What happens during the renewal weekend? You will hear others sharing their faith journey,
time for silent and shared prayer, and sacraments. This will be a time to pray, rethink priorities and intensify your relationship with Jesus. CRHP provides the opportunity to know others in our parish and grow
as a faith community.
So what about you? Are you ready to say YES to the Lord?
If you feel called to participate, please fill in below and return it to the parish office or place it in the offertory basket.

reputation spread throughout the surrounding region of Galilee. As His disciples, we can also speak with authority
when we put our faith into action by
helping the poor and suffering.

poor by joining the Society of St. Vincent de Paul? For

Gospel Reflection
Much of Jesus’ teaching took place in a synagogue and
specifically in today’s reading the synagogue at Capernaum was filled with Jewish people from Galilee. Jesus’
listeners were surprised by His knowledge and authority.
He especially surprised them when He cast out an evil
spirit from one of the men. The evil spirit recognized
who Jesus was and called Him “the Holy One of God.”
The people didn’t understand this meaning. Only the
evil spirit recognized Jesus. The people, however, were
impressed by Jesus’ deeds and brought others to Him for
healing.
We may not be able to exorcize evil spirits, but as a family, suggest places in your school, work place, neighborhood or community where evil (or something unjust)
exists. Make a plan and take an action as a family to
right this wrong.
People were looking to Jesus to perform healings and
miracles. A miracle I witnessed was when . . .
One person of great authority who I think is most like
Jesus is . . .

Thanks go out to all who attended the Chili Classic dinner last week! I enjoyed meeting so many alumni of St. Charles

The grief over an abortion experience is often so deep
that it seems to be silent. Women and men may bear
this burden for years thinking that there is no hope of
forgiveness or peace. Project Rachel offers private, professional counseling at no charge for anyone who is suffering because of an abortion experience. Call Project
Rachel at 314-792-7565 to begin your journey of healing
and reconciliation. STLProjectRachel.org.
Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist
Dr. Brant Pitre uses the Hebrew Scriptures and Jewish tradition to frame the actions of Jesus at the Last Supper, and to provide a fresh look at the heart of Catholic practice—the Eucharist. By taking us back to the Jewish roots of our faith, Dr.
Pitre gives us a powerful lens through which to see anew the bread of the presence, the manna, the Last Supper, and ultimately the meaning of the Eucharist.

A quick look into the ministries of St. Charles Borromeo
Our Lady of Guadalupe and Las Posadas
By Diego Damian
Our Lady of Guadalupe
December 12 is a special day for all Latin America. The reason why this is a special day for us is because Our Virgin Mary of Guadalupe appeared to a poor Indian named Juan Diego on four occasions. Our virgin Mary of Guadalupe
gave a wonderful spiritual message to Juan Diego that he was to give to the bishop. The message that she gave Juan Diego was that the bishop had to build a church on the site of the apparition to show her love to the nation.
Las Posadas
Why we call this Las Posadas is because our tradition is still remembering Mary and Joseph’s difficult moments
that happened when going to Bethlehem. Mary was about to give birth to the Son of God and no one had room for
them.
With thanks and praise from the Parish Council
Welcome to St. Charles Borromeo!

Journeying Through Grief
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Grief Ministry is offering a Christ-centered support group for anyone who is mourning the loss of
a loved one: no matter how recent nor how long ago. Participants are invited to bring a guest. There are times in our
lives when we need a little more support, a few more prayers, or an extra ear to be there for us. When loved ones die,
people deal with that loss in different ways. For many, grief support is helpful in beginning a journey toward healing. A
support group will share with you ways to keep your loved one’s memory alive. They’ll get you through the first
months, holidays and anniversaries. Even when you are past the most painful times, it is a place where you can come
back.
If you feel apprehensive, remember that you are not alone, many might be as anxious as you. You can be assured that
when you attend, you will be walking into a room full of people who understand. Anything shared in the group is held
confidential. There will be people like you and me who have been devastated and surprised by the magnitude of our
losses.
The group will meet on four consecutive Tuesday evenings in March (3, 10, 17 and 24) from 7:00—8:30pm. Once a
month follow-up sessions will follow. The location is the SEAS Rectory Basement Meeting Room at 2 Seton Court.
