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.

All committee members are to bring refreshments. See you there! Judy
