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.
Religious Education 2020-2021 Registration
Be sure to register your child for Religious Education for the 2020-2021 school year. Registration fee is normally $90 per child, but if you register in June and July it will only be $60, so be sure to sign up early! You can find more information on the Religious Ed page. Find the form here.
As of now, there has been no indication of plans to move to remote learning for the fall school year. However, included with this year's fee is access to all of our catechetical materials online, so that your child will still be able to learn about the faith from home, should students be not allowed to meet in person. We will make a decision about this as we get closer to the start of the school year.
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.
