Mission Statement: St. Charles Borromeo, St. Joseph, Immaculate Conception, (St. Mary), united in proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus
Christ through His saving death and resurrection, by calling, forming and sending disciples to go out and make new disciples.
As a people, we are called to encounter Jesus, and grow as disciples through the sacramental life of the church.

As we continue our journey during these days of uncertainty and concern this is Andrew Lois ........................ April 3
perhaps the best greeting we can give to one another. Actually, this greeting
could be restated this way: The grace and peace of our Lord, Jesus Christ is
with you! It is up to each one of us to acknowledge this gift of Jesus’ grace and
peace and to use this to get through the days and nights with reassurance and
confidence.
I’ve been reading some of the writings of St. John Paul. Toward the end of his
life he endured a great deal of suffering from Parkinson’s disease. Every day he
endured what he called a new cross to carry. He wrote about his feeling of UPDATES and
shame for taking almost everything in his life for granted. He never thought
twice about getting out of bed on his own power, walking, talking, being able to
feed himself, thinking freely, writing, and praying. Once the disease took control

possibilities of tomorrow. We sometimes live as if God is not real and that the
transformative power of His resurrected presence is a story found in the Bible
rather than a narrative unfolding in our lives.
God is the God of surprises, not our demise. God opens new possibilities, begins
new chapters, creates new verses, and brings us to new heights! We spend so
much time and energy ruminating over what we left behind yesterday that we are
far too tired to see what can unfold tomorrow. Loving someone new doesn’t
negate our past loves. Embracing the love of a person, God, or life itself
tomorrow doesn’t diminish the love of yesterday. Each of our loves is different,
and one cannot be replaced by another. They don’t cancel each other out. God
truly has tended to every detail of our lives, and if we listen to each detail, we
find that they all lead us back to Him. Jesus wants us to come out of our closed-
up tombs. Are we going to listen this time? ©LPi
