Farewell and Blessings Dr. Frankie Kelly
As some of you have heard, our Director of Music, Dr. Frankie Kelly, has accepted a full time choral directing position in Houston and so will be leaving us at the end of June. We have been so blessed by her many gifts and will certainly miss her, but we are also confident that the good work she has begun in renewing our sacred music will continue to bear fruit. Please join me in thanking her over these next couple of weeks as we say goodbye. Our prayers are with you, Dr. Kelly.
Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of JesusDevotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus has as it purpose a more ardent and perfect love for the Lord and to make reparation for all the offenses, especially the ingratitutde and forgetfulness of His presence to us in the Holy Eucharist.
Please, join us in practicing this love of the Lord on Thursdays during our Holy Hour of Reparation from 7:00 -8:00 p.m., and on Fridays for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Vocation Prayer Cross
The Lord has commanded us to pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life, “laborers for the harvest.” To respond to that command, we have purchased a Vocations Prayer Cross from the Diocesan Vocation Office and are asking families to sign-up to take home the Vocations Prayer Cross for one week to pray together as a family for vocations each night. All families of whatever size and age can participate.
We hope that this commitment to prayer will bless our families with an increase of holiness as well as result in an increase in vocations.
Sign-ups sheets are in the back of Church both at St. Charles and Christ the King. Please, prayerfully consider making this offering of prayer. Blessings, Fr. Mark
Covid Guidelines!
We have taken down the ropes on the Marian side of the Church (North side) but the ropes remain for social distancing on the South side (pews on wall aisle) and in the north (handicap) transept. We have returned our hymnals and missalettes to the pews, and have begun our choir practice and choral singing.

Burial? Cremation? What does the Church Teach?Below is a short summary of what the Church teaches on burial and cremation. For a fuller explanation of the subject, see the entire article by clicking on the "Sacraments and Liturgy" tab and selecting funerals and buriels.
While the Church has in recent decades allowed for cremation to be chosen for sanitary, economic or other social reasons, she strongly continues to prefer the burial of the body of the deceased as the most fitting way to express and reinforce the belief in the dignity of the human body as a temple of the Holy Spirit and in the bodily resurrection.
In cases where cremation is chosen, the remains should be treated with the same respect given the human body from which they come. This respect requires that the entire remains be laid to rest in a sacred place, buried in a grave, or entombed in a mausoleum or columbarium. The remains may not be divided up, reserved in a private residence, or used to make jewelry or other keep sakes. The church also strictly prohibits the scattering of ashes, for any motive whatsoever.May the Church’s teaching on this topic assist us in caring and praying well for our deceased brothers and sisters and in proclaiming and passing on the Good News of the Gospel for the greater glory of God.
