SCAM ALERT! It seems that the scammers are targeting Our Catholic Community again. Please be aware that some parishioners have received a message pretending to be Fr. Andrew. We urge you to always err on the side caution and call our office if you receive a text or email addressed from Fr. Andrew that seems suspicious. We will never ask you for money or for gift cards through texts or emails. Please call the parish office if you have any questions about a message you have received.

We welcome Fr. Andrew Ayers to Our Catholic Community of St. Charles and St. Joseph-St. Mary! Fr. Andrew will begin his assignment with us on July 1st. With that the weekday Mass schedule will return. There are some adjustments to this schedule so please review the list of Mass times below.

This week, you will receive a letter from Bishop Walkowiak asking you to make your commitment to support the work of our diocesan programs and ministries through the Catholic Services Appeal. These are ministries that benefit us all but are difficult for any one parish to provide on its own. Your gift to the CSA enables the Catholic Church to reach out to people in our 11 counties in a variety of ways, including through seminarian and deacon formation; youth programming; support for the homebound and incarcerated; families who are struggling; the hungry, and the homeless. Through the CSA, we all work together to care for the Church by sharing the gifts God has granted us. Our parish goal is 100% participation, which means every parishioner should return their pledge card. Please join us in this important work!
