Fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time - February 9, 2025

An unlikely thread links the three people who are called to be disciples in today's readings:  all pronounce themselves unworthy.  Isaiah, Paul and Peter are saints and prophets, but each sees himself first as a sinner.  As we listen to the readings today, let us realize that even though we too are unworthy, God still calls us to be disciples.


St. Charles -      Items for the Polishfest raffle can be recorded in a notebook in the back of church.  Please be generous.

CDA meeting is scheduled for Monday, February 17 at 7 PM.  We are currently accepting dues for 2025.  They are $20.00.  Committee members for the January meeting are:  Door Prize - Lace Buretta;   Student Burse - MaryAnn Buretta;  Bingo Prizes - Kathy Conner and Charlotte Dalman.  All committee members are to bring refreshments.  See you there!   Judy
