THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT - DECEMBER 13, 2020 - Parishes Online
St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church | December 13, 2020

                                  Padre’s Page
         Dear Parishioners,

         I hope and pray that this message finds you and your loved ones healthy and well!
         Here’s what our parish is focusing on this week:

                   Advent Continues
                   • During the first half of Advent we focused on preparing for the Second              Fr. Don Planty, Jr.
                   Coming of Christ. Now we pivot to focusing on his first coming, as we                 Pastor
                   prepare for Christmas. Today is “Gaudete” Sunday, from the first word of
             the Entrance Antiphon in Latin: “Rejoice”! We are filled with joy because the celebration of our Lord’s birth to save
             us is fast approaching…
         •   I encourage you to celebrate the Sacrament of Penance to receive the great gift of Jesus’ mercy during this holy
             season.
         •   For other helpful ways to have a spiritually fruitful Advent, and for our Christmas & New Year’s Mass schedules,
             check out the “Advent 2020” link on our website homepage.

                   Catholic Charities Christmas Collection
                   Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington serves thousands of needy families annually with food, rent, and
                   utility assistance, with counseling services, and with much more. This year’s CCDA Christmas Collection will
                   take place in church on December 13–but you can give any time online. To give to this special collection easily,
         electronically, scan the QR code or visit: https://membership.faithdirect.net/givenow/VA681

         December Return to Full Liturgical Schedule
         •  It’s a good sign that Mass attendance and Confession numbers are ticking up again–while the parish and
            parishioners are all being careful and safe, and will continue to be so. Therefore, please note the following:
         •  Sunday 7:30am Mass will be offered again, beginning December 6.
         •  Monday 6:30pm Confessions will begin again on December 7.

         May God bless you
         Fr. Don Planty

                                                Please pray for our Seminarians

                 Men's Group: Borromeo Brothers
                Saturdays, 7:30am-9am
                Men of all ages on pilgrimage together to know and love God striving
        to become whom He has called us to be. Join us each Saturday morning for
        brotherhood and discussion about living out our vocation as Christian men.
        The Borromeo Brothers are currently viewing a new series entitled, Into the
        Breach, a 12-episode video series from the Knights of Columbus that seeks to
        answer what it means to be a Catholic man in today’s world. Inspired by Bishop
        Thomas J. Olmsted’s apostolic exhortation to Catholic men, Into the Breach tells
        men they are made for greatness and challenges them to achieve it by founding
        their lives on God and pursuing heroic virtue. Each episode explores a different
        aspect of authentic Catholic masculinity and features well-known Catholic
        speakers, as well as the personal story of a man who has deeply experienced
        the episode’s topic in his own life.
        Borromeo Brothers meets (via Zoom) each Saturday morning from 7:30-9am for
        fellowship, learning about our faith, and discussion about living out our vocation
        as Christian men. stcharleschurch.org/small-groups#bbros

        pray that every woman enters the study with an open heart and that they are encouraged

        another grow in faith and love of Jesus Christ. Questions? Please email us - wwp@
