What good is it, my brothers an sisters, if someone says he has faith but does not have work?  James 2:14 St. Charles parishioners take their faith very seriously.  We have a wonderful Catholic School and many different programs and classes here that directly work to inform and form the faith of our children and adults.  We gather weekly to share in the Eucharist so that we might be nourished by God’s Word and by the Body and Blood of the Lord.  We gather socially to grow in our friendships with our brothers and sisters that make up our parish family.  Our parish has been the leader in our Archdiocese in our work for justice and social ministry.   All this is possible because God has blessed us and our parishioners return and share those blessings by their giving of their TIME, TALENT and TREASURE.  How are you helping in this task?
