This past Sunday, we had a great experience with our Stewardship Ministry Fair. In addition to offering a variety of fun activities, presenting some very talented handiwork by our young people, we also had the opportunity to see, up close and personal, the wide variety of on-going ministries here at Saint Charles Borromeo Parish. A very big thank you to Karen Stazak, Joan Binsley, all of the members of our Stewardship Commission, as well as representatives of our various ministries and organizations who gave up their Sunday afternoon to present the good news of precisely what they do to make Saint Charles Borromeo a better parish. This was a very large task and all of those who assisted in any way, are to be congratulated for their fine, fine job. There really should have been a better showing of parishioners on Sunday afternoon – don’t tell me, Pittsburgh-Cleveland at 1:00 p.m. – but the Ministry Fair kicked-off at 12-noon, a full hour before the football kick-off. Those who did attend, I am sure, will be most happy to tell you how beneficial an experience this was. Thank you to all who came, thank you to all who set-up, cleaned-up, took up their position at their station, sang for us, conducted tours, did art work and wrote essays and the 101 other tasks that were undertaken to put forth such a great exhibition of our parish’s stewardship in action. Great, great job!! Having experienced the Ministry Fair, if through no other means than by my account, it is now time for each and every parishioner to come forth and respond through the Stewardship Intention Form that you received in the mail this week. It is now your turn to make your commitment, your commitment of time, talent, and treasure. Please prayerfully consider your volunteer work as well as your financial support for the coming year. Do not just throw the commitment form away, as that says Celebrant Schedule: Saturday, October 25 Sunday, October 26 4:00 p.m.: Father Rogers 7:30 a.m.: Fr. Rogers 9:00 a.m.: Fr. Rogers 10:45 a.m.: Fr. DeLucia 12:30 p.m.: Fr. DeLucia Follow Us On: something very serious about your view of Saint Charles Borromeo Parish. As we well know, priests come and priests go, but your relationship with your parish is something that needs nurtured on your end as well. So, take a moment, even if you are unable or unwilling to actively participate in even one ministry, take a moment and fill out the intention form. Own your choice, make your decision known, and return your completed Stewardship Intention Form, either in the collection basket, at the parish office or through the mail. Your cooperation with the intention form is greatly appreciated. On Thursday, November 13, 2014, A.C.T.I.O.N. is bringing the African Children’s Choir back to Youngstown. Some of you were present right here at Saint Charles Borromeo Parish when the African Children’s Choir performed last year. They provided an entertaining as well as enriching evening for all who were present. This year the African Children’s Choir will be performing at Powers Auditorium at the De-Yor Center in Youngstown. The concert will begin at 7:00 p.m. Tickets for this year’s African Children’s Choir can be purchased at the parish office. Tickets are $15.00 for adults, $5.00 for children 5-12, and children under 5 years old admitted free of charge. It is sure to be another evening of great entertainment, as well as support for a great cause. Tickets will be available at the parish office until Friday, October 31. This very Sunday, we will have our spectacular Spaghetti Dinner sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. The dinner will be held in the Father Haidet Social Hall from 11:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Carry out orders will be available beginning after the 9:00 a.m. this Sunday. (Now that’s my idea of a healthy breakfast – spaghetti and meatballs!!) The K of C will also be holding a basket raffle during the spaghetti dinner. The price is only $8.00 for adults, $5.00 for children ages 6-12, and children under 12 years-old eat for free. This will be a guaranteed great dinner at a great price. Join us this Sunday, October 19, from 11:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. for the spaghetti dinner. On a completely different track, Saint Charles Borromeo Parish is sponsoring a grief support group. The group will meet on Tuesday, October 28, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. in the Saint Luke Room. Anyone coping with the struggles of grief is invited to attend. Further information can be had by calling either Deacon Paul or Diana at the Parish Office. . . Thanks... Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time 3 Together, Let Us Pray Please pray for the following...

Birthdays always remind me of a great line from Fr. Venglarik as I complained one year about, while enjoying a birthday that ends in 0 (to me, they are milestones), I hate the ones that end in any other number. He shook his head and said, “And there’s so many more of those.” Sixty-four years I’ve been on this planet. While I am often referred to as the old man on staff (having been on staff longer than anyone else), I like to think of myself as the voice of wisdom. And what are some of the things I learned during my life? • Try as hard as you might, you will never find the missing mate to a sock, which is why I personally buy many pairs of socks exactly the same. • Making a mess in your slippers is not necessarily the way a dog shows its affection for you, no matter what your wife tries to tell you. • If you cannot make at least one person laugh each day, that day is wasted. Life is too short to be grumpy all the time. • Personally, I think grandkids are the greatest gift God can give to the world as a way of saying how much He respects life. • Just when you think it can’t get any worse, God will come through! • I don’t just need to pray to God each day – I need to depend on God each day • God must really, really love me to be so kind and give me another day to get it right! Clearin’ the table. Social Justice All Eligible Parishioner’s Civic Duties and the November 2014 Elections Part of the Church’s Social Justice Guidelines has to do with a Church and parishioner’s member’s civic duties. Involvement in the government process is essential and critical especially in a republic which operates as a democracy. This means all eligible citizens should be, or become, registered voters. All registered voters should be, or become, aware of each candidate’s character, record, qualifications for office, etc. All registered voters should familiarize himself, or herself, with the issues on the ballot. Are you registered? If not, why not? Have you moved and updated the Board of Elections record of you as an active voter and citizen? Will you be absent from the County or Country on Election Day (Tuesday, November 4th, 2014)? Have you inquired or read up on a candidate’s history, honesty, attendance and voting record, views, etc? Are you familiar with the ramifications of an issue or the overall cost of an existing or new tax levy? Is the Common good being served by a particular candidate or new issue or change to an existing issue? Are you an informed voter, making wise voting decisions? Men and women have died in the service or their country and/or during civil rights demonstrations and activities for this precious Right to Vote. You owe it to your family and neighborhood, village, city, county, the Country, to the Parish and the Church, and most of all, to yourself to exercise this sacred franchise. Many elections are decided by just a very narrow margin of counted votes. Your individual vote can and often does make a difference on some issues and candidate’s victory or loss. Please seriously consider registering to vote if you are not registered. Please carefully vote when you do go to the polls. We are living in some of the most historic times in the history of our communities and country and the world. Please participate in these historic times. by Terry Sell THE OCTOBER PRAYER CARD -LIFE PROMISE PRAYERis available on the bookrack in the hallway.

Do we allow our political affiliations to shape and form our belief in Church teaching or do we truly allow our relationship with Christ and His Church to challenge our understanding and opinions in the public forum. May our sense of faith and stewardship invite us to always put Christ first.
