Lent: As we enter into Lent, I encourage you to discuss how your family will practice prayer, asceticism and alms giving. There are plenty of ways for families to succeed in Lent together, but two great resources are the Hallow app and Formed. As a parishioner of St. Charles Borromeo, you have access to Formed for free. The app has great Lenten talks, books, videos, and other resources. Hallow is available as a digital tool as well. You might hear your children talking about how their teacher uses Hallow here at school. Hallow has awesome daily resources for increasing your prayer life. You can even pray the Rosary with Jonathan Roumie (Jesus in the Chosen series) or Mark Wahlberg (actor). Have a blessed Lent. You can find our Lenten schedule in the upcoming events. You are welcome to join us for any Stations of the Cross events and, as always, we love to see you at Mass.

*Parish Confessions during Lent on Fridays from 7:30 am-8:00 am

Registration Note: If you are a current school family and have not registered yet. We need you to complete the registration process.

UPDATE: We need desserts donation for the fish fry, If you need to, you can drop them off at the office.

Lent is right around the corner! 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 the committee at scbfishfry@gmail.com or Tammy Buehler, Volunteer Coordinator 314-691-1774. Thank you for helping fill over 400 shifts to make this year's fish fries a success!

Join the St. Charles Borromeo community Friday, March 17th after school release, and before the Fish Fry, for the Second Annual St. Charles, St. Patrick’s Parade, down Main Street! This fun, family-friendly event celebrates Irish Heritage and the Patron Saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick.

Plan: Wear attire that supports Ireland, Saint Patrick, or St. Charles Borromeo!

Bring any candy or trinkets you would want to hand to patrons watching the parade. No political endorsements, please.

All children must be accompanied by an adult. If you cannot participate, but want your child to participate, please plan with another family to have your child attend with them.

There may be some porta-potties at the Boathouse, but likely nothing along the route. Plan accordingly.

Parade Start: Groups can gather after 2:30 and set up at the Lewis and Clark Boathouse parking lot (1050 S. Riverside Drive). Parade will depart at 4 p.m.

The Route: The parade will take a new route this year, traveling from the Boathouse parking lot to Main Street, down Main Street to Jefferson Street and will then turn right on Jefferson.

Notes: Parade is hosted by City St. Charles, MO and Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) St. Charles Division in cooperation with businesses on Main Street

Any questions, or if you want to sponsor a giveaway, please call or text John Donovan 314.440.6785
