This week we celebrated the Solemnity of St. Joseph. Fr. Chris spoke to the students about how St. Joseph can be a mode of faith for us through prayer. It's amazing to me that God chose St. Joseph as the earthly father of His divine son. Of all the men who ever existed, he chose one to care for His son. As the foster father of Jesus, St. Joseph would have taught Jesus the skills of carpentry, but he also would have taught him to pray. What a beautiful image to consider for us parents. As we continue to focus on prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, we can model St. Joseph's example. Praying together with our children is one of the greatest gifts we can bestow on them. As we prepare to celebrate Holy Week, we can commit to prayer together. We, the parents, are the first educators and a child learns best from us through example. Building this habit of prayer is a great gift to our children. As they grow, the relationship they form with God will be shaped by the model we provided them. St. Joseph, Protector of the Holy Church, pray for us!

Have a blessed Palm Sunday this weekend!

Definition: Patriotism is paying due honor and respect to your country, with a willingness to serve.

Our parish and school's second largest annual fundraiser are here: the fish fry. As you may recall, when you signed all the back- to- school forms there was a part indicating that working the picnic and the fish fry were expectations for SCB parents to work. Each family is required to work (2) 2 hour shifts during the 6 weeks/Fridays of fish fries. The fish fries are an integral component which allows the parish to help subsidize our school's existence.

While you may work any shift you'd like, we do encourage the grade levels to take various weeks to cover. Please check out the grade level assigned weeks and maybe partner up with another family. Fish fries are a big and fun part of St. Charles Borromeo's fellowship!

Should you have to cancel your shift after you sign up, please find a replacement. If you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out to Heather Floodman at heatherfloodman@borromeoschool.com or (314)954-1116 . Thank you for helping fill over 400 shifts to make this year's fish fries a success!
