Theme: Often we go through the routine of a day barely paying attention. When something dramatic happens or a crisis occurs, we get a "wake-up" call, and we vow not to take life for granted. We are wise to ask ourselves, how willing am I, right now, to leave my comfort zone, my safety net, and embrace becoming a better disciple? "For the world in its present form is passing away." How can I have a hand in making the next moment in the world better?

Ashes for Ash Wednesday. Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on February 17. We want to make ashes available to you prior to that day. Here’s our plan. We will bless ashes during our Zoom worship service on Sunday, January 31. Small bits of ash will then be placed in individual containers and made available to you—for pick up or delivery. At our Zoom Worship Service on Ash Wednesday, we will all engage in a ritual for applying ashes to our own foreheads. Stay tuned for more details.
Little Books for Lent. You can order your “Little Black Book” for Lent in English, Spanish, or Vietnamese at www.littlebooks.org.
Worship 2021. As we move into the new year, our goal is to worship as one community, in the church, gathered simultaneously in-person or online for an interactive worship experience. Those who wish can come to church in person will be able to do so at the appropriate time (not yet, sorry). Those who prefer to stay home can join via Zoom. With the recent installation of wifi in the church we now have the capacity to conduct our Zoom worship service in the church. They will still be able to interact with one another, and to a lesser degree with those in the church. When the time is right, we will open up Mass for in-person attendance for those who wish.
Baptism Sunday Postponed. We had hoped to have Baptism Sunday on January 31, but due to COVID circumstances, we have decided to postpone it until further notice. Info about Baptism preparation can be found on our website here, or contact Leif Kehrwald, Pastoral Administrator, at lkehrwald@stcharlespdx.org or 503-351-9889.
Pope Francis proclaims “Year of St Joseph.” With the Apostolic Letter “Patris corde” (“With a Father’s Heart”), Pope Francis recalls the 150th anniversary of the declaration of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church.

If you have ideas, contact Leif Kehrwald at lkehrwald@stcharlespdx.org or 503-351-9889. FYI – the Feast of St. Joseph lands on March 19.
Year Dedicated to Family. In honor of the fifth anniversary of ‘Amoris Laetitia’ Pope Francis has declared a year dedicated to family. He reminds us of the example of evangelising with the family, proposing to us once again the ideal of conjugal and family love, as underlined in the apostolic exhortation Amoris laetitia, promulgated five years ago this coming March 19.
