St. Charles Borromeo Church December 28, 2014

The Christmas season continues this

weekend as we celebrate the Feast of the Holy

Family.

This Thursday, January 1, New Year’s Day, is also the

Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God, and a holy day of

obligation. There will be a special schedule of Masses:

Wednesday, December 31, New Year’s Eve,

Please note: only one Vigil Mass at 4:00pm

Thursday, January 1, New Year’s Day:

Three Holy Day Masses at 9:00am, 10:30am, 12:00Noon

You will find a January 2015 Parish Activities

Calendar in this bulletin detailing many of the events taking

place at St Charles in the next few weeks. Check the “flip side”

of that calendar for a listing of the upcoming Adult Faith

Formation Activities planned by our talented Pastoral Minister,

Brian Pelcin. Please keep that calendar in your home during the

upcoming month.

Couples engaged to be married in 2015 are reminded to

register for St Charles Pre-Cana Day scheduled for Saturday,

February 28. Also, remember to check the video screens in the church

lobbies when you come to church.

From February through June of 2012, St Charles took

part in the diocesan-wide capital campaign “Rooted in Faith—

Forward in Hope.” The diocesan goal was $125 million; but an

awesome $175 million had been pledged by the time the

campaign concluded.

St Charles parishioners pledged $1.6 million toward the

effort; the pledge campaign runs for five years. Seventy percent

of the total raised goes to meet diocesan needs; every three

months, thirty percent of the funds collected are returned directly

to St Charles. Each quarter, we deposit our share to a “Rainy

Day Fund” for needed or emergency capital improvements.

The “Rooted in Faith” effort also supplies direct grants to

parishes and schools. This year we applied for three grants, all

in the field of education. Just before Christmas we received

word—and three checks—indicating that our grant applications

had been accepted and approved:

St Charles received a $40,000 grant to replace windows in

the 1927 (Junior High) School Building. As the project

cost is expected to exceed that amount, Carnival 2015

will be asked to make up the balance;

St Charles School received a $30,000 grant to purchase

iPads for student use;

St Charles has also received a $6,200 grant to fund a study

for increasing our Catholic identity as a school.

A Big Tip of the St Charles Appreciation Hat to Day

School Principal, Eileen Updegrove, who wrote the grant

requests. Thanks to the Officers of the Catholic Foundation who

review the grant requests and make the final decisions. Thanks,

as well, to Catholics throughout the Diocese who are so generous

and faithful to their “Rooted in Faith” campaign commitments.

NORTHEAST OHIO

MEN’S FELLOWSHIP CONFERENCE

March 21st, 2015 As men, life can be stressful and exhausting, numerous eyes look

to us to be “strong” and “wise” and the pressure of them and the

responsibilities of life can often feel like too much. Therefore, I’d

like to invite you and challenge you to give Christ and the Church

one full day of your life. Saturday March 21st, 2015 is the

Northeast Ohio Men’s Fellowship Conference. This conference is

meant to provide the context where Christ can bring the true

Father’s love and life into your heart and provide that divine

energy to love those whom you are close to. Please do not shirk

the responsibility to be a man that builds a culture of life and love

instead of one of ego and isolation. For more information visit the

website www.cmfneo.com.

“NO COST” ANNULMENTS

Older folks remember that once a couple married in the

Catholic Church and lived together, the marital bond was in

place ''till death we do part." In the last forty years, the Church

has come to recognize that some marriages were just "not

right" from the beginning. When a marriage breaks up and

the civil divorce is final, marriages can be considered for a

church annulment.

Unfortunately, there are lots of rumors and poor

information when it comes to annulments: "it takes years"

or "thousands of dollars" are required. In truth, most cases are

decided within a year and the suggested marriage tribunal fee

was $450; and that fee could be waived for those in

financial difficulty. That tribunal fee did not "buy an

annulment" but it did help to pay for tribunal salaries and

expenses.

On May 30th, Bishop Lennon announced a new

policy for the Diocese of Cleveland: all annulment cases

will now be accepted and processed free of any charge. The

Diocese of Cleveland will fully subsidize the work of the

diocesan marriage tribunal. This new policy is effective

immediately.

The form of Catholic marriage is free consent given

before a priest/deacon and two witnesses. For those who

require an annulment from a former marriage, please

contact the priest/deacon of your choice and he will help you

prepare and file your case­now free of charge!
