Men’s & Women’s Retreats
Scheduled for Fall 2012
“Fountains of Living Water
for Thirsting Catholics”
Women’s Retreat
With summer just beginning, it takes a stretch to think about our October
12-14 retreat weekend at Notre Dame Retreat House on Canandaigua Lake,
but now is the time to put the date on your calendar. If you have been on
retreat with us in the past, you know what a wonderful weekend it is. If you
have never been to the Notre Dame Retreat House, you don’t know what
you’re missing. It is a special time to get away from the tasks, the
surroundings and trappings of everyday life that keep us so busy that we
forget to carve out that time for growing in our faith and spending quality
time sharing with Our Lord.
The suggested cost is $130 for a single room and $100 ea. for a
shared room. For this you will enjoy two comfortable nights, four delicious
meals, inspirational and thought provoking talks, liturgies and devotions, a
flexible schedule and if desired, a private meeting with one of the staff.
The retreat begins with registration from 7-8 pm Friday and closes Sunday
at noon after Mass. To reserve a room or for more information call: Mary
Gardner at 227-0691 or Donna LaDuca at 342-3234
Men’s Retreat
Please join the men of St. Charles on our annual retreat at Notre Dame
Retreat House, Friday evening through Sunday noon, September 28—30.
Now is a good time to mark your calendar and make a reservation. The
deadline for reservations is September 23.
You'll enjoy a retreat. It offers you a time to refresh yourself. A
RETREAT gets you away from the daily grind and distractions of our
modern living. It offers you a welcome physical rest, release from
tensions, mental peace - and above all SPIRITUAL REFRESHMENT.
The conferences at the retreat are:
� Fountain of Trust by Fr. Paul
� Fountain of the Cross by Fr. Tom
� Fountain of Forgiveness by Sr. Carole
� Fountain of Hope by Fr. Mike
In addition to the retreat conferences you will enjoy friendly conversation
with fellow retreatants, beautiful surroundings and great meals.
If you would like to register or would just like more information, with
no obligation, please call Ed Holden at 621-8243 or by e-mail at
epholden@gmail.com. Please leave a message if I am not home.
You can also look at the Notre Dame Retreat House web site
(www.ndretreat.org) for pictures and more information on this great
facility. Rides to the retreat can easily be arranged.

$317.00 went to Angles of Mercy (Dress
a Girl Around the World). Notre Dame
Learning Center will be will be this
weekend’s Parish Sharing recipient.
Fr. Tom Brown is an Oblates of Mary Immaculate priest who
grew up in the Rochester area. For most of his 50+ years in
the priesthood, he has served as a missionary in Brazil. In
the early 80's he ministered to our community of St. Charles
for a short time. Periodically, he returns to Rochester for a
visit, including St. Charles in his stops (but not this year).
We have supported his ministry through our parish
sharing ever since the program began. Thus far, we have
given him over $6,000 this way. Next weekend we will
again donate to the Ministry of Fr. Tom Brown.
NOTE: $317.00 went to Greece Ecumenical Food
Shelf for the week of July 1, 2012.

Kindergarten - Mickey Eckert &
Kailey Vickers-Gelo
The Kindergarten is off to a great start! We have practiced
the Sign of the Cross and learned some simple prayers of
thanksgiving. We are also learning the Our Father.
Our lessons this week have been focused around the
wonderful world God has made for us. He made the day,
night, land, water, plants, animals, and people! We thank God for our feelings,
our senses, our friends, our families, and ourselves.
A highlight of the Kindergarten week was leading the Summer Camp in
morning prayer on Friday. Everyone enjoyed our interpretation of the Creation
story!
Kindergarten—Morgan Munley & Erin Mulcahy
This past week in Summer Camp we
learned about all of God’s wonderful
creations, such as the stars, moon, clouds
and sun as well as animals and you & me.
We enjoyed making crowns as well as
reading many stories from the Bible. Our
favorite part of the week was sharing the
story of God’s creation in a prayer for the
whole Summer Camp.
1st grade - Barb Gerardi & Michael Schwartz
Everyone is born with an invisible bucket. We are learn-
ing ways of kindness to keep it filled with happiness. We
belong to a loving family and church community. Photos
taken around Church will prepare them for our visit. Us-
ing dolls we will play Baptism as we learn. Bible stories
such as the Serman on the Mount, Jesus and Simon
catching fish on the Sea of Galilee. Using real fish to
paint and make prints and touch to learn.
2nd grade - Patty Borden &
Deanna Smiroldo
This week we enjoyed getting to know each
other! We acted out Baptism and the Good
Samaritan. We have chosen saints as our
heroes and learned about
the Ten Commandments.
Every day we pray together
and hear a story from the
Bible.
3rd grade - Karen Hummel & Lauren Speer
We are remembering our prayers, learning about Jesus’ disciples and
followers. We are also learning about Christ’s healing powers and
forgiveness.
3rd grade - Christine Deutsch, Erica Lanzillo & Morgan O’Leary
The third graders traveled around the world in search of discovering how the
Church is ONE. St. Paul teaches us how to spread the word of Jesus. St.
Martin teaches us how to care for others.
1st grade - Peggy Morris , Amanda Bly
& Liam O’Leary
We had a great start. We all got to know one
another. We are learning that we are part of
one family – God’s! Also, we gather to pray in
our Parish Church and the Bible is the written
Word of God that teaches us how to love God
and others. We will continue to learn about
the goodness of God.
2nd grade - Jillian DiPonzio &Maggie Munley
We are off to a great start! This week we learned about
how to be a hero simply by following in Jesus’ footsteps.
We look forward to another great week!

commandments in our lives.
St. Charles Borromeo Church � Rochester, New York July 15, 2012 Page Five
4th grade - Gerianne Stawarski &
Sharon Bigham
Working both individually and in teams, we talked
about God's goodness, as well as some of the ways
that we can honor Him through prayer and by taking
care of His creations (e.g. recycle, reduce,
reuse). There were many discussions on the 10
Commandments, and how to
make the best choices in
order to be good Catholic
role models, and live our
lives in God’s grace. Great
students!
6th Grade—Donna Schwartz &
Megan Termine
This week we have been going back in time with our
ancestors in faith by learning how to look up passages in
the Bible as well as learning about Abraham & Sarah,
Joseph & the coat of many colors, and Moses. This is a
very large class and we are excited to get to know and
share our faith with your children!
7th grade—Heather Brown & Ryan Mulcahy
We are studying the life of Jesus—from birth
to resurrection. We made prayer envelopes
and are writing prayers for people in our lives
and placed them in the envelope.
8th grade - Mary Fran Yockel & Brian Hummel
This year we are learning about the History of our Church. We
are learning the 4 marks of our Faith: one, holy, apostolic, and
Catholic. We are also learning how we as laity can say YES in
our own Church community and parish.
Music—Alyssa Blodgett & Julie Eckert
We talked about songs involving the word “time”
and worked on different songs to sing for next Fri-
day’s prayer service. We also played musical
games and talked about how we make time for God
in our own lives.
Snack - Elaine Weiser & Jason Hunt
Snack time is always popular. Many thanks to
the children for always being so polite!
Art - Diane Heath, Meghan Wille & Katie Wille

God. 5

We are God’s GREATEST creation! We
learned we are made in God’s image and
likeness. We studied the Beatitudes, the
Old and New Testament. We made signs
for the Food Drive (next week)
as we learned the corporal
works of mercy. We talked
about the Sacramentals and the
Sacraments of Baptism and
Confirmation. We learned how
to pray with Holy Scripture.

LIGHTHOUSE CDS
Check out the Lighthouse Catholic
Media kiosks and literature racks (4
locations) at the back of church.
Although there is a suggested
donation, fundraising is not the reason that these items
are available. They are there to help us grow in our
understanding and exercise of our faith. Also, they are
to pass on as an evangelization tool for others.
John Paul II and the New Evangelization is a
book in which 22 authors address this issue. Fr.
Robert Barron, creator of the Catholicism series that
has been shown at St. Charles, has a CD talk on
Reaching Out to Today's Culture (Answering the Four
YouTube Heresies). These are just two of dozens of
offerings that we have for your edification!
NOTE: Check out the St. Charles website for more
opportunities to purchase CDs and Books from
Lighthouse on the Parish Webstore. More information
to come next week.
Are You Thinking
About the Catholic
Faith?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and
Children is a process designed by the Church for
adults and older children to receive the sacrament of
Baptism, Confirmation and First Communion. The
goals are to give a complete overview of Catholic
teachings and to begin to deepen a Christian spiritual
life centered in the Sunday Scripture readings. The
sacraments are received at the Easter Vigil Mass.
Are you:
• a person who has not been baptized and would like
to learn more about the Catholic faith with the
possibility of becoming Catholic?
• a baptized Christian of another denomination who
would like to learn more about and possibly join the
Catholic church?
• a baptized Roman Catholic who has never received
Eucharist or Confirmation and would like to
complete their sacraments?
• a child over the age of 7 who has never been
baptized or has been baptized in another Christian
faith or has been baptized Catholic and has never
received Catholic instruction.
RCIA & RCIC offers an environment of support and
guidance as you discover how God is working in your
life. Is this process for you? Do you have a friend or
neighbor who may be interested? For more
information, contact Sr. Miriam at 663-3230 x104.
