Our Lady of Fatima did not just ask the Holy Father to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart. She also asked the faithful to do the Five Consecutive First Saturdays of Reparation. Have you done it yet? Safety & Security TeamThe parish is forming a Safety & Security Team to assist during Mass and parish events. We are seeking male volunteers who have military, law enforcement, or martial arts backgrounds for the security side. For the safety side, we are looking for any volunteers with medical training or background. Those without the above backgrounds or qualifications are still encouraged to volunteer. We will assist in training to maximize participation and develop skills needed. This is a great opportunity for positive involvement in the parish life as well as the community. For more info or to volunteer, please email the Safety & Security Team at security@stacharlotte.com. We will also have a table in the narthex in the upcoming weeks. Last Chance to take our Daily Mass Survey - Please Take a Moment to Do if You Haven'tThe Church does not require Daily Mass, but in the lives of the Saints of the Church, many of them went as often as they could. We are doing a brief survey to find out how we as a parish might make it easier for you to attend Daily Mass. You can take the survey here. New Virtual Tours of the Church!Paul Johnson recently put together a great new virtual tour of the church, the baldacchino, and more! Check it out here! Fatima ProcessionsEvery 13th of the month from May to October at 7:30 p.m. Altar Server TrainingIf you are a young man who has received First Holy Communion, we encourage you to serve at the altar. Many priestly vocations were birthed from assisting the priest at the altar! If you are interested in serving the Novus Ordo Mass, E-mail Deacon Martin. stmartinpfu@hotmail.com. Are You Striving for Sainthood?This examination is adapted from the official questionnaire that is used when the Church is investigating the worthiness for beatification and canonization of Catholics. They are the questions that are asked of the witnesses who knew the person in question when they were alive. It is a truly great examination of how we are doing, and what type of goals we can set in order to truly live our Catholic faith. Are we striving to be saints? There are only saints in Heaven. |

Prayer Apostolate of Reparation Through Devotion to the Holy Face of JesusEvery Tuesday morning at 6:00 a.m, folks will be gathering in the church for this devotion. Please consider attending if you can. Why is this important? In 1843, Jesus revealed to Sister Mary of St. Peter, a Carmelite nun in Tours, France, that reparation for the sins of atheism, blasphemy, and the profanation of Sundays and Holy Days was imperative. An Archconfraternity was established in 1885 to facilitate this work of reparation looking to St. Veronica as their model. All STA parishioners are encouraged to seriously consider participating as much as possible in the work of reparation through this devotion, imitating the actions of the holy woman Veronica. Great Audio Sermons!
