Dear Parishioners:

First of all, many thanks to all who contributed to the wonderful celebration of our patronal feast of St. Charles Borromeo last weekend. No one throws a party like the parishioners of St. Charles! As

my mother commented to me afterwards, “the food just kept coming and coming! I have never seen a parish celebration like this!” And special thanks to the specific groups from the different ethnic communi-ties who committed their time and effort to set up the McGivney Center so beautifully, to clean up when it was all over, and to be present throughout the day so that the pa-rishioners after all our Masses could enjoy the gathering. This was our second annu-al celebration of our patron on the Sunday nearest to Nov. 4, St. Charles Borromeo’s actual feast day. It won’t be the last!Incidentally, we have some pictures posted on our parish website of this and other recent events at St. Charles. Be sure to check out our website frequently at www.stchar-lesbridgeport.org. And if you have some good photos from a recent event, send them to our webmaster Nathalie with a brief description at [email protected]

God bless you,Msgr Chris

Estimados feligreses:

En primer lugar, muchas gracias a todos los que contribuyeron a la maravillosa celebración de nuestra fiesta patronal de San Carlos Borromeo el pasado fin de semana. ¡Nadie organiza una fiesta como los feligreses de San Carlos! Como

mi madre me comentó después, “¡la comida seguía llegando y llegando! ¡Nunca había visto una celebración parroquial como esta! ”Y un agradec-imiento especial a los grupos específi-cos de las diferentes comunidades ét-nicas que comprometieron su tiempo y esfuerzo para establecer el Centro McGivney de una manera tan hermo-sa, para limpiar cuando todo terminó y para ser presente durante todo el día para que los feligreses después de to-das nuestras misas puedan disfrutar de la reunión. Esta fue nuestra segun-da celebración anual de nuestro patrón el domingo más cercano al 4 de noviembre, el verdadero día de la fiesta de San Carlos Borromeo. ¡No será el último!Por cierto, tenemos algunas fotos publicadas en nuestro sitio web de la parroquia de este y otros eventos recientes en St. Charles. Asegúrese de visitar nuestro sitio web con frecuencia en www.stcharlesbridgeport.org. Y si tiene buenas fotos de un evento re-ciente, envíelas a nuestro webmaster Nathalie con una breve descripción a [email protected].

Caros paroquianos:

Antes de tudo, muito obrigado a todos que contribuíram para a maravilhosa celebração da nossa festa patronal de São Carlos Borromeu no último final de semana. Ninguém faz

uma festa como os paroquianos de São Carlos! Como minha mãe comentou comigo depois, “a co-mida continuava indo e vindo! Eu nunca vi uma celebração paroqui-al como esta! ”E um agradecimen-to especial aos grupos específicos das diferentes comunidades étnicas que dedicaram seu tempo e esforço para montar o McGivney Center tão lindamente, para limpar quan-do tudo acabou e para presentes ao longo do dia para que os paroqui-anos, depois de todas as nossas missas, pudessem desfrutar da reunião. Esta foi a nos-sa segunda celebração anual do nosso patrono no domingo mais próximo de 4 de novembro, o dia da festa de São Carlos Borromeo. Não será o último!Aliás, temos algumas fotos postadas em nosso site paroquial deste e de outros eventos recentes em St. Charles. Não deixe de conferir nosso site com frequência em www.stcharlesbridgeport.org. E se você tiver algumas boas fotos de um evento recente, en-vie-as ao nosso webmaster Nathalie com uma breve descrição em [email protected].

Chers Paroissiens,

Tout d’abord, merci beaucoup à tous ceux qui ont contribué à la merveille-use célébration de notre fête patronale de saint Charles Borromée le week-end dernier. Personne ne organise une fête comme les paroissiens de Saint-

Charles! Comme ma mère me l'a dit par la suite, «la nourriture n'arrêtait pas d'aller et venir! Je n'ai jamais vu une fête paroissiale comme celle-ci! »Et un merci tout spécial aux groupes spécifiques des différentes com-munautés ethniques qui ont con-sacré leur temps et leurs efforts à la mise en place du Centre McGivney de manière aussi mag-nifique, au nettoyage une fois terminé et au présents toute la journée pour que les paroissiens, après toutes nos messes, puis-sent profiter du rassemblement. C’était notre deuxième célébra-tion annuelle de notre patron le dimanche le plus proche du 4 novembre, jour de la fête de Saint Charles Borromée. Ce ne sera pas le dernier!Incidemment, nous avons quelques photos postées sur notre site paroissial de cet événement et d’autres événements récents à St. Charles. Assurez-vous de consulter notre site Web fréquemment à l'adresse www.stcharlesbridgeport.org. Et si vous avez de bonnes photos d'un événement récent, envoyez-les à notre webmestre Nathalie avec une brève description à [email protected].
