PARISH MISSION 2010:

“MAKING STRONGER FAMILIES”
St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church,
4001 Edgewater Dr, Orlando, FL 32804

PARISH MISSION WITH A DIFFERENCE!

Sunday-
Sunday-Tuesday, DECEMBER 5—
5—7, 2010
7:00 pm

Each Advent we have a Parish Mission.

Advent is a time when we think of Mary and Joseph waiting for the child Jesus to
be born and on the first Sunday after Christmas we remember the life of the Holy
Family. That’s why this year’s very practical Mission about family life goes to the
heart of the season and the heart of the world. Pope John Paul used to say “As the
family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world”; that means this Mission is for all
of us. The talks by experts from the Counseling Center at Catholic Charities will take place at 7
p.m. on the evenings of Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, December 5h through 7th, in the
church. Join us, and invite your friends.

Talk 1 Finding the right life partner (aka “How to avoid falling for a jerk or jerkette”).
Good marriages are the foundation of good families.
This talk by Cheryl Entner, MS, IMH, and Frank Crane, LMHC is designed to
provide singles (and singles-again) with a plan for pacing relationships and exploring
the key areas that foreshadow what a partner will be like in marriage. If you are on
“jerk-alert” you can avoid a lot of heartache. Bring your teenagers to this talk!

Talk 2 How to cope in today’s world.

Modern life is not easy and our stress levels have been heightened by the recession.
Cheryl Entner, MS, IMH, and Frank Crane, LMHC, LMHC encourage us to look after ourselves
and our own sanity so that we can be at our best and give of ourselves more generously.

Talk 3 How to parent with confidence.

For most people the greatest work they will do in their lives is to raise children and
bring them to mature adulthood. We know it’s not easy! Cami Tarasewich, MSW, MSW
draws on her experience of the best and worst of parenting. Parents, grandparents and
all who interact with the young can learn from this talk.

A collection will be taken at each talk and will be used to help families access
the services of the Counseling Center at Catholic Charities of Central Florida.
 SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT December 5, 2010

MASS INTENTIONS
Saturday, December 4 FROM OUR PASTOR
5:00 pm St. Charles Parishioners
Sunday, December 5 The first reading today gives us the
7:30 am
Geneva Griffin image of the Tree of Jesse - the
9:00 am
Carol Imbriani
ancestral line of Jesus: “On that day, a
11:00 am
John Amato
shoot shall sprout from the stump of
12:45 pm
Jose Luis Prendes
Monday, December 6 Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall
9:00 am
Joseph and Sadie Asmee blossom”. Jesse was the father of King
Tuesday, December 7 David, the origin of the royal line of
9:00 am Marie Shaw the Kings of Israel. Yet by the time of
Wednesday, December 8 the prophet Isaiah the kingdom had
9:00 am Shannon Gallagher been split and the royal line
10:15
Howard Kuehn compromised; the great family tree of
7:00 pm Clark Nyberg Kings David and Solomon now
Thursday, December 9 seemed no more than a stump. In
9:00 am
/L Dr. John Lehrer & Family spite of this apparently hopeless
Friday, December 10 situation, Isaiah prophesied that God
9:00 am
Malfaida D’Ambrosio could bring a new shoot from this
Saturday, December 11
stump; there would be a new King,
5:00 pm
Harry Meisel
Sunday, December 12 the Messiah. We Christians recognize
7:30 am St. Charles Parishioners Jesus as that long-awaited Messiah, born in “royal David’s city” and still reigning
9:00 am
Bill Demetree as Christ, our King.
11:00 am
Paul Morgan
At the beginning of his Gospel (which we will be hearing all year) Matthew gives
12:45 pm
Edgar Ramirez Marquez
us the full genealogy of Jesus Christ, and medieval artists translated this into
elaborate family trees - drawn on manuscripts, carved in stone, or illustrated in
Parish Events stained glass - to visibly trace the line from Jesse to Jesus. These Jesse Trees were
a way of emphasizing that Jesus was the fulfillment of all the hopes of the Old
Sunday, December 5
Testament.
2:30 pm Christmas Choir Rehearsal (C)
6:00 pm J.A.M. (UR) We, too, like to trace our family trees, with the added interest here in the United
Monday, December 6 States of discovering who it was that left “the old country” to immigrate and
7:00 pm Adult RCIA (PLR) start the American branch. However, the Gospel reading has a different take on
Tuesday, December 7 family trees. Jesus told his contemporaries that they could not rely on their
6:00 pm Seraphim Rehearsal (C)
ancestry; rather, God wants to see a healthy tree in the present generation.
7:00 pm Talleres de Oración y Vida (UR)
Otherwise, “every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and
Wednesday, December 8
2:15 pm 2nd-8th Grade Youth Choir (C) thrown into the fire” - not even a stump will be left! The Gospel challenges us
5:00 pm RCIA Families (UR) not to look back but to look forward to the future growth of our family tree.
6:30 pm Adult Choir Rehearsal (CR) That’s why we are having a rather different Parish Mission this year. The title of
7:00 pm Wed. Evening Faith Formation
the Mission is “Making Stronger Families” and the Mission talks will be given by
(C—Holy Day Mass)
different counselors from Catholic Charities. The Counseling Center at Catholic
7:30 pm AA (UR)
Thursday, December 9 Charities has a team of State-licensed counselors with Master degrees. They carry
6:00 pm CCW (BGH) out pre-marital evaluations for the Diocese, provide support for individuals and
Friday, December 10 couples, train parents in communicating with and effectively disciplining their
8:00 pm BLD (UR) children, and guide people through crises from unexpected pregnancy to
Saturday, December 11 divorce. The counselors will be drawing on their rich experience for the three
7:00 pm Spanish Prayer Group (CR) talks they will be giving at Saint Charles; they will look at relationships and dating,
Sunday, December 12 coping in today’s world, and parenting. These are topics of perennial interest and
2:30 pm Christmas Choir Rehearsal (C) it will be good for all of us to be more knowledgeable about them. We want to
6:00 pm J.A.M. (UR) do the best for our own families and then, later in life, people sometimes ask for
our advice because they know we are Christians. As Pope John Paul II said, “As
(C) – Church (CR) – Community Room
(SH) – Social Hall (SC) – School Classroom the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we
(UR) – Upper Room (BGH) – Bishop Grady Hall live”. Come to the Mission in order to grow in wisdom and play your part in
(PLR) – Parish Living Room
strengthening our families.

HOW DO I BECOME A CATHOLIC?
♦ Are you interested in learning more
about the Catholic faith?
♦ Would you like to become a Catholic?
♦ Do you know someone who may be
interested?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A.) is a process of
conversion and initiation in the Catholic Church as adults journey
together in faith and share experiences while discerning God’s call. If
interested in participating, please call the office. We will be happy to
assist you on your journey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DO YOU HAVE A CHILD, SEVEN YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER,
WHO HAS NOT YET BEEN BAPTIZED CATHOLIC?
Once a child reaches the “age of reason” (seven), the child is
brought into the Church just as an adult is—through the Rite of
Christian Initiation of Adults. Following this process of preparation
which lasts about a year, the child is fully initiated into the Church at
the Easter Vigil through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation
and First Communion. In order to have a child baptized Catholic, at
least one parent must be Catholic.
If you are considering having your child—age 7 or older—become
Catholic, or if you have any questions, please contact Sister Marie
at the parish office, 407.293.9556 ext. 121.
COME JAM WITH THE
MIDDLE SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP!!
