From the Pastor’s Column / Noticias del PárrocoNew Mission Statement, Ancient Mission
You will notice on the cover of this week’s bulletin that our mission statement has changed. The old mission statement was
not bad, but it was wordy, and no one really knew it. Our mission statement is supposed to drive everything that we do as a parish, and it can’t be effective if no one even knows what it is.
Our new mission statement is taken from Christ’s command to the Apostles after His resurrection as found in Matthew 28:19. This passage is often called the Great Commission. This is the mission that Christ gave to the whole Church, and so, as part of the Church, it makes sense for it to be our mission here at St. Charles Borromeo as well.
But our mission statement has to be more than just words on a page. It should be a lived reality. Everything that we do as a parish should fl ow from and refl ect back to our mission. As was discussed at our Town Hall meetings, when we do the same things over and over again, we can start to forget why we do them. We can become so caught up in the things that we do that we forget the mission.
Over the coming year, I am asking all of us as a parish to refocus on our mission to make disciples of all nations. This mission applies not just to the parish as a whole, but also to all of our organizations and ministries as well as to each of us as individual parishioners. Each of us are members of the parish. And so each of us have a share in the mission of the parish, just as every employee is part of a company’s mission.
Over the next several weeks, I will be using this column to go through the parts of our parish mission statement to discuss what they mean for us as a parish and as individuals. I invite everyone to consider how they help fulfi ll our mission.
Nueva Declaración, Antigua Misión
Te darás cuenta en la cubierta del boletín de este fi n de semana que nuestra declaración de la misión ha cambiado. La
declaración anterior no estaba mal, pero fue prolijo y nadie la sabía. Se supone que nuestra declaración de la misión debe impeler todo que hacemos como una parroquia, y no puede ser efi caz si nadie sabe lo que es.
Nuestra nueva declaración de la misión es del mando de Cristo a los apóstoles después de su resurrección que se encuentra en Mateo 28:19. Este pasaje a menudo se llama la Gran Comisión. Esta
es la misión que Cristo dio a la iglesia entera, y entonces, como una parte de la iglesia, tiene sentido que también sea nuestra misión aquí en St. Charles Borromeo.
Pero nuestra declaración de la misión tiene que ser más que
solo palabras en una página. Debería ser una realidad vivida. Todo lo que hacemos como parroquia debe fl uir de y refl ejarse en nuestra misión. Como se discutió en nuestras reuniones del Foro Parroquial, cuando hacemos las mismas cosas una y otra vez, podemos olvidar por qué las hacemos. Podemos preocuparnos tanto por las cosas que hacemos que olvidamos la misión.
Durante el año que viene, les pido a todos nosotros como parroquia que nos reenfoquemos en nuestra misión de hacer discípulos de todas las naciones. Esta misión se aplica no solo a la parroquia en su conjunto, sino también a todas nuestras organizaciones y ministerios, así como a cada uno de nosotros como feligreses individuales. Cada uno de nosotros somos miembros de la parroquia. Y así, cada uno de nosotros tiene una participación en la misión de la parroquia, así como cada empleado es parte de la misión de una empresa.
Durante las próximas semanas, usaré esta columna para discutir las partes de nuestra declaración de misión parroquial y lo que signifi can para nosotros como parroquia y como individuos. Invito a todos a considerar cómo ayudan a cumplir nuestra misión.

Giving Tree 2019Parish Picnic is in the books, so it's time to turn our attention to the Christmas Season... Giving Tree is our St. Vincent de Paul's effortto help make Christmas special for families in need in our local community. Here's how you can help:
Parish PiChristmato help comm
*REFER: Families who live in our area are referred by school personnel, parishioners, or self-referred and must demonstrate that
they are a family in crisis/need by SVDP.
*DONATE FOOD: In November, St. Charles Borromeo classes hold their annual Food Drive. Food items gathered by classes become our Christmas food baskets to provide multiple meals for the holiday season.
*ADOPT A FAMILY: Families, friends and coworkers adopt a full family unit and spoil
them with minimal gifts plus extra special items. Contact Michelle Hawkins if you are interested in adopting a full family. Any size family can be adopted.
*PICK ORNAMENTS: Giving Trees go up in the narthex on Nov. 13, giving you an opportunity to choose items (ornaments) off the tree to shop for and wrap. All wrapped gifts need to be returned to church no later than Dec. 7.
*SORT: SVDP and Mini Vinnies prepare these packages for pick up on Dec. 20.
*DONATE MONEY: Some parishioners want to participate but are unable to shop for items! A check made out to SVDP and noted for Giving Tree will be earmarked for meat purchased for meals as well as missing gift items.
We hope everyone will participate as we join together to brighten the Christmas season for those less fortunate in our community!
Contact Michelle Hawkins at 636-795-6417 or mhawkins811@yahoo.com with questions or for more information.

AY✝ ADULTSYOUNGSCB Mini Vinnies Freez‛n 4 a Reason
SCB Mini Vinnies will be Freez’n 4 A Reason on Nov. 9-10. To raise awareness and understanding of the plight of the homeless, students will set up and reside outside on the tree lot in a “Box City” for 18 hours. The parish is invited to visit Box City to talk with the students.
Homelessness is not just a big city issue; it can be found right here in our parish boundaries. The SCB St. Vincent de Paul assisted 34 homeless families and 129 temporarily homeless fl ood victims in the last 22 months.
Many of those assisted were single mothers and their children. These numbers do not completely represent the amount of good that SVDP does in the effort to prevent homelessness. The number of referrals for the homeless from outside our parish boundaries to other agencies, such as Sts. Joachim & Ann Care Service and St. Patrick Center, are not tracked.

St. Patrick Center SpeakerPlease join the Mini Vinnies on Nov. 9 in the Borromeo Café at 7:30 p.m. for a presentation by Kelly Peach, Senior Director of Communications of the St. Patrick Center. The St. Patrick Center provides opportunities for self-suffi ciency and dignity to people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Individuals and families build permanent, positive change in their lives through safe and affordable housing, sound mental and physical health, and employment and fi nancial stability.
Living out their core values of Trust, Ownership, Collaboration and Innovation, St. Patrick Center is a hand UP, not a hand out. They do not enable homelessness. They assist people with changing their lives.
St. Patrick Center focuses services in St. Louis City and St. Louis County, providing assistance to 5,900 individuals and families annually. In addition to St. Louis City and St. Louis County, our Supportive Services for Veteran Families program operates in seven outlying counties.
Mini Vinnies Move-In DriveWe plan to show our support of the St. Patrick Center by collecting for “Move-In” Kits. During Freez'n 4 a Reason, we will be collecting:• 13 gallon trash cans & liners• mops• dish soap• hangers• brooms w/dustpan
Please bring your generous “Move-In” donations to Mass on Nov. 9-10.
You may also make a cash donation to your favorite Mini Vinnie and we’ll do the shopping for you.

8 Oct. 19-20, 2019 St. Charles Bor omeo Catholic Church
This is the fi rst of two parables that Jesus tells in Luke 18 about prayer. (The
second will be read at Mass next Sunday.)
This fi rst parable is a lesson in persistence in prayer. (Next Sunday's parable will address attitude in prayer.) While the parable seems to present prayer as nagging God for what we want, such a reading misses the point.
God is not like the judge in the parable, worn down by requests and coerced to respond. The key is found in the description of the judge as corrupt and unjust. Since God can be neither, we must understand Jesus to be saying that if even an unjust judge responds to the persistence of the widow, how much more so will God listen to our prayers. God truly wants to hear our needs and respond generously.
It is the fi nal lament of Jesus that gets to the point of the parable. The lesson is
about the persistence of the one who prays. God wants us to be like the persistent widow, staying in relationship with God, confi dent that God hears and answers prayers.
Then Jesus laments, “Will such faith be found when the Son of Man comes?” In this lament, Jesus notes how easy it can be for us to lose heart.

As you give your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, please say a special prayer for the poor who have no one to pray for them.
