Happy Father’s Day
God took the strength of a mountain, the majesty of a tree, the warmth of a summer sun, the calm of a quiet sea, the generous soul of nature, the comforting arm of night, the wisdom of the ages, the power of the eagle’s flight, the joy of a morning in the spring, the faith of a mustard seed, the patience of eternity, the depth of a family need, then God combined these qualities,
when there was nothing more to add, He knew His masterpiece was complete, And so, He called it . . . Dad

This summer our high school teens will be attending the Steubenville Youth Confer-ence and our Jr. High teens will attend Camp IMPACT Waco. Both events are opportu-nities for our teens to have an encounter with Christ. They will attend Mass, adoration, confession and have the opportunity to serve in the community and attend workshops to learn more about their faith. We are launching an on-line fundraising project to help our teens attend these events. Click the link https://charlestonwrapstore.com/studentaffiliate.php and see what great things you can order - all orders are on-line & will be shipped to your home. You can also sponsor a teen to attend one of the events.
