Welcome to St. Charles Borromeo Parish!
Thank You, Jesus and Borromeo,
for an Awesome Holy Week!
PRAYER OF THE WEEK
A Stewardship Parish
Thank you, Jesus, for raising us up to Your new life
of love—changing us and helping us to grow through
our Church Family here at SCB. All the Holy Week celebrations and Sacraments were so moving and lifechanging. Thanks to so many who participated and
helped in many various ways to make them so beautiful
and spiritually growthful, especially all our ministers
and choir and decorators. We are all thankful to Jesus
for calling our newest members to our Church through
the RCIA and RCIC—your joy and love, enthusiasm and
commitment are a Witness to us all of Jesus, truly alive
and working in us. Please read their stories over the
next few weeks.
May parish is composed of people like me.
I help make it what it is.
It will be friendly, if I am.
It will be holy, if I am.
Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.
It will do great work, if I work.
It will be prayerful, if I pray.
It will bring others into its worship,
if I invite and bring them.
Therefore, with the help of God,
I now dedicate myself to the task
of being all the things that
I want my parish to be.
Amen.
A Warm Borromeo Welcome to our
Deacon-to-be Jorge and Karla Perez
Joke of the Week
We are so happy to be assigned another Deacon
(although his Ordination is two years away) and his
wife: Jorge and Karla Perez. Please read their bio later
in this bulletin (and I’m so sorry I did not get this in
sooner.) He is already helping us in so many ways with
prayerful enthusiasm. Our prayers and love and gratitude are with them.
Celebrate the Sacraments of
Confirmation and First Holy Communion
We welcome and congratulate our young people
and their families who are being filled with the grace of
the Holy Spirit and Presence of Jesus this week. All are
welcome this Tuesday, April 17 at 7:30pm for Confirmation. You are in our love and prayers and now fully in
our Church Family.
An optimist and a pessimist could never quite agree
on any topic of discussion. One day the optimist decided
he’d found a way to pull his friend out of his continually
pessimistic way of thinking. The optimist owned a hunting dog that could walk on water. He would take the
pessimist and the dog out duck hunting from a boat.
The men were in the middle of the lake when the
optimist shot a duck, and the dog immediately walked
across the water, retrieved the bird, and returned to the
boat. The optimist looked at his friend and asked,
“What do you think about that?”
The pessimist replied, “That dog can’t swim, can he?”
Spread the Gospel, the Good News
about Jesus and His Borromeo Family!
Your brother in Jesus,
Father John
We offer our prayerful sympathy to Anna Thelen on the death of her husband Erwin Thelen, and to the families
of Genevieve Schultz, Joe Poett, Linda Heath and Russell Droege. May they, and all the faithful departed, rest
in peace.
Please pray for our loved ones who are hospitalized or ill, including:
John Civili, Dee Launis, Barb Carosone, Greg Wies, Russell Droege, Madge Eisenbath, Ron Rattini

Pray-ers Needed!
Have you tried giving an hour of time to pray to our Lord Jesus during Eucharistic Adoration? It is truly more a gift and
grace of Jesus to you than you to Him.
Eucharistic Adoration at St. Charles Borromeo is held the 3rd Monday of each month (April 16) from 8:30am to 6:30pm,
and we especially need an individual or two for the 6:00 time slot, which includes closing Benediction.
Please call Carol Pappas at 928-6722 or [email protected].

THANK YOU for the great love you show to our Borromeo
Family carrying on the work of Jesus and to those in need by
the generosity you display when you share your Treasure, and
all God’s gifts to you, given for others.
“The community of believers was of one heart and mind
and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his
own.”
ACTS 4:32
Stewardship calls us to recognize, just as the early Christians did, that none of our possessions is our own. All
that we have—our health, our education, our skills, our
talents, and our livelihood—are gifts from God. The
natural reaction when someone gives you a gift is to
want to give something back. What do you give back to
God?
We pray that we may learn to see all of our blessings as abundant gifts from God, placed in our hands so that we may use
them for the benefit of all God’s people.
Join us in praying the Rosary on Wednesday
evenings at 6:30pm at the Shrine to
Our Lady of Guadalupe.

THE CONCLUDING RITES
Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life. So St. Paul
exhorts us: “Whatever you do, do everything for the
glory of God” (1 Cor 10: 31). So too he prays for his disciples in Thessalonica, that they may so live that “the
name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified” in them, and
they in Christ (2 Thes 1: 12). Every moment of our lives
is an opportunity to give God that glory; when we rejoice, when we mourn, when we leap with youth and
strength, and when we lay ourselves down to die. All
times, all places, before all people, and in all our deeds,
we may preach with our lives, proclaiming, “Not to us,
O Lord, not to us but to your name give glory because of
your kindness, because of your truth” (Ps 115: 1). It is a
glory of love that brims over, that blesses us, for it is as
Jesus says to his Apostles, praying and giving glory to the
Father: “I have given them the glory you gave me, so
that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you
in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one,
that the world may know that you sent me, and that you
loved them even as you loved me” (Jn 17: 22-23). To
God be the glory, now and for ever.
This Week’s Reflection
Jesus gives us joy in the Gospel. Many women and
men followed Jesus from the beginning of his ministry,
heard his teaching, and witnessed his healing actions.
Those who witness his resurrection experience their faith
in a new way.
The beloved disciple sees the empty tomb and believes
Jesus is risen. Mary Magdalene hears the risen Jesus
speak her name and believes. Peter and the whole
community of Jesus’ followers pray together in fear,
receive peace and forgiveness from the risen Jesus, and
believe. And Thomas doubts that Jesus is risen until he
sees Jesus for himself and believes. Jesus’ friends witnessed his death and resurrection and began to proclaim
that God raised up to new life the Jesus who was crucified. The resurrection reveals Jesus’ divinity and his
presence with us forever—our source of joy.
Attention High School and College

FELIZ TIEMPO DE PASCUA!!
Felicidades otra vez a todo/as por la gran
fiesta y su participación en la Semana Santa
y el Domingo de Resurrección de Jesús,
nuestro Dios y Salvador. Que Dios les siga
inspirando y fortaleciendo con el poder de
su Espíritu. El Señor nos ha renovado en su
gracia y amor a través de las celebraciones
y sacramentos de su Iglesia. Gracias por su
presencia y participación en la Misa de La
Última Cena, el Jueves Santo. El Lavatorio
de Los Pies, en imitación de Jesús con sus
Apóstoles, nos hizo apreciar el gran amor y
la humildad de Jesús hasta hoy en día con
nosotros. La recepción del Cuerpo y Sangre
de Jesús en la Misa nos unió a Él y a cada
hermano y hermana presente en la Misa.
La Procesión de los niños preparándose
para la Primera Comunión con el Santísimo
Sacramento, nos inspiró y nos afirmó en
nuestro gran aprecio de Jesús en su Cuerpo
y Sangre. Y el gran silencio después de la
Misa mostró recogimiento e intimidad con
nuestro Señor en nuestro medio.
El Vía Crucis viviente el Viernes Santo nos
conmovió a todos por la piedad y el respeto tan evidente en cada persona presente.
La participación de jóvenes, hombres y mujeres en el drama del sufrimiento y la muerte de Jesús nos ayudó mucho en identificarnos con lo que Jesús padeció para salvar el
mundo. Muchísimas gracias a todos por
tanto trabajo y práctica las semanas y días
anteriores. Se llevó acabo con tanto respeto y acogimiento. Fue un gran don a los
feligrés, tanto latino como anglo, de la parroquia.
El Sábado de Gloria en la Vigilia nos hizo
apreciar a Jesús como La Luz del Mundo; la
recepción de 20 personas a la Iglesia, con
Profesión de Fe, Bautismo, Confirmación y
Primera Comunión, culminó unos siete meses de preparación con clases cada Martes,
un retiro y aprendizaje de lo que nuestra
querida Iglesia Católica cree y vive.
Y luego, el Domingo de la Resurrección,
con la Renovación de Promesas Bautismales
y el bautismo de NUEVE niños durante la
Misa, nos llevó a la cumbre de todas las
celebraciones. Otra vez, gracias a toda/os
que se involucraron como lectores, el coro,
la Procesión, el Vía Crucis, los Bautismos y
la devota participación.
Viva Cristo Resucitado! Viva Cristo nuestro
Rey!

Second Sunday of Easter, April 15, 2012
Meet our new Deacon to be (in 2014):
Jorge and Karla Perez!
Jorge is originally from Mexico City; Karla is from Coon
Rapids, Minnesota. They have been married for 27 yrs.
have two young adult children- Amanda and Monica and
a two year old Grandson- Omar.
They moved to the St Louis area 15 years ago and had
been parishioners at All Saints where they had been involved in different ministries.
Karla currently works for the St Charles City and County
Library System as manager of the Technical Operations
group. Karla has a Bachelors degree in Pastoral Ministry
from St Benedict University – Minnesota.
Jorge works for Diebold Inc. as an Analyst. Jorge has an
Electronics and Data Communications degree from DeVry
University in Chicago, IL.
As Jorge reflects back on his life since meeting Karla and
their life together, it has been centered on God and his
ministry.….”To continue with this year’s mission theme
of conversion, my real conversation started back in 2008,
after I attended a CRHP Retreat. Prior to then, I thought I
had my life all figured out and planned out. I had a successful carrier at Bank of America for 10 years, and then I
lost my job and there were other changes in our lives
which we had not planned for, it was a very difficult time
for us. You have heard it said: if you want to hear God
laugh tell him your plan: well that was us. During the
retreat, I realized how much I was missing, how much
Jorge es originario de la Ciudad de México, Karla es de
Coon Rapids, Minnesota. Han estado casados por 27
años y tienen dos hijas adultas; Amanda y Mónica. Y un
nieto- Omar de 2 años.
Ellos vinieron a St Louis hace aproximadamente 15 años y
han sido párrocos de All Saints, donde han participado en
distintos ministerios. Karla trabaja en las oficinas de la
Biblioteca del Condado y Ciudad de St Charles. Tiene su
bachillerato en Ministro Pastoral de la Universidad de St
Benedict - Minnesota y Jorge Trabaja en Diebold como
Analista. Tiene educación en Electrónica y Data Comunicaciones de la universidad de DeVry - Chicago.
Cuando Jorge reflexiona en su vida desde que conoció y
ha estado junto a Karla, esta vida a sido centrada en Dios
y en su ministerio. “En 2008 después de participar en un
retire de CRHP, mientras sufría de desempleo y otros
cambios en mi vida que yo no había planeado. Me di
cuenta que debería yo de enfocarme más en Dios y no
tanto en mi vida. Un día un sacerdote me pregunto si yo
había pensado en ser Diacono Permanente. Inmediatamente dije: “NO”. Después, una hermana religiosa tam-
more I could or should do for our Lord, I had been
blessed so much. I realized then, I had to give back, but
still didn’t know how. Then one day a priest asked me if I
had considered becoming a Deacon. I immediately answered: “No, not really”. A couple of days later, a religious Sister asked me the same thing. I again said: “No”, I
said I was waiting for God to tell me or to show me what
he wanted me to do, and then I remembered what my
wife had said some time before then. She told me that I
would make a good Deacon. Of course, at that time I
didn’t listen to her. However now I had more people
“tapping me in the shoulder” about it, I then had to stop,
pray and reflect on this. So then I attended the Permanent Diaconate Orientation Meeting in the spring of ‘09.
I kept praying and discerning and finally I said: God if
you really want me to do this, let it be your will, I am
here to serve you, do with me as you will. Well as they
say, “the rest is history”… I now have been in the Permanent Diaconate program in the Archdiocese of St Louis for
3 years and have two years left before ordination”.
In February of this year, I was assigned by the Diaconate
Office of the Archdiocese to Saint Charles Borromeo to
become part of this parish and continue my ministerial
training here. I am very excited to be part of this parish
and -God willing- be able to serve God and this parish as
an ordain Deacon”
Jorge & Karla Perez
bién me pregunto si estuviera interesado en ser Diacono.
Esto me recordó que un tiempo anterior, Karla me había
dicho que yo haría un buen Diacono. En ese tiempo no
preste atención a lo que Karla me había dicho entonces,
pero ahora ya había más personas hablando de esto, tal
vez era tiempo de ver que era lo que Dios me estaba tratando de decir o que era lo que Dios quería que yo hiciera. Atendí a una junta de orientación del programa de
Diacono Permanente y después de rezar y meditar bastante, le dije a Dios, si esto es lo que tú quieres que haga,
hágase tu voluntad y úsame como tú quieras y entre al
programa. Tengo ya tres años en el programa, me faltan
2 años más para terminar y ordenarme como Diacono
Permanente en la Archidiócesis de St Louis.
En Febrero de 2012, la archidiócesis me asigno a St Charles Borromeo para ser parte de esta parroquia y continuar
mi entrenamiento ministerial aquí. Estoy muy contento
de ser parte de esta parroquia y, si Dios quiere, servirle a
él y a esta comunidad como un Diacono.
Jorge y Karla Perez

When I was called to make the CRHP Retreat, I didn’t know what to expect. As time went on I found myself being
drawn into the Holy Spirit. That feeling remains with me more each day. The bonding with my fellow sisters is unbelievable. The camaraderie we share with each other is so special. The Holy Spirit is so close to us. I will never get over the
feelings we have for each other.
God Bless,

APRIL IS CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH
Learn to “Stop” Inappropriate Activity before it happens. Child safety tip: Teach your child to respect the word
“stop!” Teach your preschooler that “stop” means “stop,” and that your child has the right to stop people from
touching his or her body. Obviously, exceptions will have to be made for doctors and parents, but even parents must
listen when a child doesn’t want to be tickled or hugged anymore. Reinforcing this excellent lesson gives your child
the power to recognize—and to stop—”bad touching” by others if it should happen. For particular help, you may
call Sandra Price, 314-792-7271, Safe Environment Program at the Archdiocese.
