Faith

School Masses & Prayer Services

Liturgies are held throughout the week at St. Charles Borromeo Church.  Students in kindergarten through grade five attend Holy Mass each Friday at 8:30 a.m.  Middle School students attend Holy Mass each Wednesday at 8:30 a.m.

All-school Masses take place during the first and last week of school and on Holy days of Obligation when they take place on a school day.

Students learn to openly express their faith and to build leadership skills by planning class liturgies and serving as readers and hymn leaders.  Parents are invited and encouraged to attend Mass; it means a lot to the children to have their parents present whenever possible.

As part of their service to the St. Charles community, grade five students accompany their kindergarten friends to liturgy every Friday and act as their mentors and caregivers. About half of our fifth grade students choose to take an acolyte training course after school so that they may serve on the altar during liturgies.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated once in Advent and once in Lent for students who are able to participate in this sacrament.

A group of St. Charles parishioners also conducts a prayer service for students at St. Charles School each Monday morning. Classes attend on a rotating basis. Check your monthly calendars for times and classes participating.
