Local Government Day

Our 7th graders are spending today learning about local government operations. We have been blessed to have the opportunity to collaborate with St. Charles City and St. Charles County on providing such a meaningful experience for our students. The students are receiving presentations from the mayor and local government officials, as well as taking part in a government simulation on an actual current government project. Thank you for Beth Norviel, Kory Goodson, and Councilman Justin Foust for developing the curriculum and inviting our students to be a part of the day. In particular, I am grateful to school board member Colin Wellenkamp who helped coordinate with the city and county on this experience. I am hopeful that this will plant the seeds for our students to recognize the importance of engaging in civic matters and recognize how the work we do here gives them the foundation to lead those around them for the betterment of humanity.

SCRIP Gift Card Program

We have been informed that the SCRIP program will be discontinued. According to the Archdiocese a parish needs to generate $5,000 a month in profit to maintain a program. St. Charles Borromeo does not meet this criteria. We are selling off the remaining inventory from the program. Cards are available in the parish office until they are gone. Sales are on a first come basis. If you are interested in purchasing gift cards, you can contact Mary Lorenz through email at mlorenz@stpstc.org or at (636) 344-7001.

Dear St. Charles Borromeo School Families,

We are excited to announce the continuation of a heartwarming initiative to strengthen our

school community's spiritual bond - the Monthly Children's Mass! The next Children’s Mass

will be held on Sunday, May 19th, at 11a.m., with our eighth-grade students hosting Mass at St.

Charles Borromeo Parish. By actively participating in the various parts of the Mass (Liturgy of

the Word, Liturgy of the Eucharist) our students will experience firsthand the sacredness of the

Mass. Each month will be hosted by a different grade. We invite all families to attend this

special Children’s Mass and show your support as our children deepen their understanding of

our faith. Let’s come together as a school family to celebrate faith, love, and unity. We look

forward to seeing you there.
