THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!
Catholic Charities Community Services (CCCS) is a
specialty office of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of
Rochester and offers services in the 12 counties of the
diocese.
Assistance for the developmentally disabled
includes service coordination, rehabilitative services, and
residential programs. They run 11 certified residential sites
and help many others living independently in the community.
The agency is also a provider of services to adults with
traumatic brain injury. A third area of assistance is to those
who have HIV/AIDS. Most of their budget is funded by New
York State. However, there are many individual and family
needs that are unmet. Our parish sharing contribution next
weekend will help to cover some of those needs.
The organization has recently relocated from East
Ridge Road in Irondequoit to Jay Street (Water Tower Office
Park). Two members of our parish (one just retired) are/have
been on the executive staff of CCCS.
We Welcome You to
St. Charles Borromeo Parish
Are You Thinking

Faith?
Thank you for joining us. We are glad you have chosen to

becoming a member of the parish? If you need more
information or would like to register, please call Mary
Eggleston at 663-3230 x107 or contact her by e-mail at
[email protected].
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…
- Matthew 28:19
One person at a time through faithful witness and
personal invitation! Share our Christian joy with
another:



who has not been baptized and would like to
learn more about the Catholic faith, and possibly
considers becoming a Catholic,
who
is
baptized
Christian
of
another
denomination who would like to learn more about
the Catholic faith,
who is a baptized in the Catholic Church who has
never received Eucharist or Confirmation and
would like to complete the sacraments of
initiation, or

Invite them to consider going through the Rite of

and RCIC). Through this process of prayerful support
and guidance, they will be fully initiated to the
Catholic faith by receiving the sacraments of baptism,
Eucharist and Confirmation. For more information,
