Testimonials from PLT Candidates

 PLT NOMINATION UPDATE:  There is still time to submit a nomination, or add your own name, to the upcoming election for two vacant seats on the Parish Leadership Team.   Please take a few minutes and give it some serious thought.  As always, please contact me with any questions or nominations at alicejo.weaver@yahoo.com 

Following are personal testimonials from the two candidates:

Jackie Ryan:  "As a member of the Parish and the Chairperson for Social Justice for the last year, I feel I have an understanding of the Parish Mission and can incorporate that into my decisions if elected to the PLT.  I also have an understanding of budgets and working as a team to a joint decision in my professional life.  I would prayerfully consider options before coming to any decision.  I feel I would contribute my empathy towards others, my ability to listen to others' opinions and consider them, and my pragmatic decision making abilities to the Parish."

Sharon Glass:  "I have been a member of St. Charles since the beginning.  I was on the PLT for about 5 years.  I bring this previous experience and the desire to continue the lay-led leadership that St. Charles has enjoyed.  I hope to be part of a Team with the sense of doing the best for our Church Community and for the communities that we serve."

Expanded Numbers for Mass Attendance starting on February 14th

GOOD NEWS !! 

We have received the OK from St. Christopher's to expand the number of people for "In-Person" mass attendance to 25.  We will still need to practice Social Distancing, Wear Masks, maintain the contact tracing list and Pre and Post Liturgy cleaning.

Based on our regular attendance figures from previous years we should be able to accommodate everyone who wishes to attend.  If attendance of more than 25 becomes an issue, we may need to adjust and adapt, for now we will leave it open for anyone who wishes to attend.

We can begin this coming Sunday February 14th ,  Looking forward to seeing everyone there.  

We do need to mention that this of course is dependent on the weather.  There is a forecast for snow over the next few days.  Please check the News Wire for any updates.
