Financial Update
We understand that financial hardships are all around us, especially when so many businesses are closed. As a parish, we rely on our weekly offertory to help pay our bills: heating, air conditioning, maintenance, administrative, etc. Without you, we would be in dire straights. If you can, please continue to give. You can mail your offertory envelope, drop it off when you visit to pray, but online giving is the easiest.
Church Cleaning & Disinfecting
We are having the church disinfected with a hospital grade disinfectant twice a week by a professional cleaning company, and we have also left spray disinfectant bottles in the narthex. If you come to pray, please use the disinfectant bottles to help us keep the church clean by spraying down the part of the pew you use for your visit to Our Lord. Thanks!
Do You Need a Mask?
Do you need a mask? E-mail us at church@stacharlotte.com and we'll connect you with a parishioner who is making them! We also have a limited supply in the Narthex.
Parishioner Pandemic Support
