SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually

into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there and unite     myself wholly to You.
     Never permit me to be separated from You.

                                                              AMEN

During this time of uncertainty with many not attending Mass, you are asked to please remember your church parish.  As always, we thank you for your continued financial generosity, which enables our church to meet ongoing financial demands. You may mail your contributions to the church or place them in the drop box located outside of the Administration Office.  We also have an online giving tab on the website for your convience.

we put into giving."

A new tab on our website homepage titled "PRAYER SERVICES" has been added to provide material for reflection that will help enrich your spiritual life during this time of uncertainty. The following are included:

* A Liturgy of the Word Prayer Service using the Sunday readings that you can participate in along with your family, which includes reflections on the scripture readings.

* Daily Devotional Scripture Readings with activity pages that can be printed.

* A series reflection on the Way of the Cross.

Hopefully, this will help you continue to find consolation in Scripture, as you stay Spiritually engaged at home. Please continue to check the site weekly. Palm Sunday and Holy Week readings will be added in the coming weeks.

St. Charles Parish Pastoral Council Election

 The Parish Council Election has been postponed until further notice.

St. Charles Parish Pastoral Council is a body of individuals who work in collaboration with the Pastor to help the on-going renewal of the parish by advising him on pastoral and spiritual issues for the good of the parish.  The Pastoral Council is made up of nine elected members who serve a three-year term.  The present members of our Pastoral Council are: Amber Anderson, David Champagne, Keith Labat, John Landry, Rachael Matherne, Katina Navarre, Meryl Trahan, Cathy Weimer and Yvonne Weimer.  In May, we will have our Pastoral Council Election.  Keith Labat, John Landry and Katina Navarre’s terms will end.  We thank them for their years of service on the council. If you or someone you know may be willing to serve on the council, you can mail the name and information to St Charles Borromeo Church, 1985 Highway 308, Thibodaux, LA  70301, or email Father Carl Collins at ccollins@htdiocese.org.  Please check with the person you are nominating to see if they are willing to serve on the council before submitting their name.  All nominations must be submitted by Monday April 20^th. The Parish Pastoral Council Election will be held on May 2-3, 2020.

2019-2020 SEMINARIANS

The Diocese has provided new prayer cards featuring 12 men in formation, who, God willing, will one day serve the diocese as priests.  Cards can be found on the table in the foyer of the church.  These prayer cards are important tools to remind everyone to pray for future priests, and to inspire vocations.  Please take one!
