Dear Parents of St. Charles Borromeo School Students - Happy Easter! Yes, we are still celebrating Easter! Read more about the Octave of Easter in the article below.
I want to commend all of our young ladies and gentlemen who were recognized at the Honors Breakfasts on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. I thank them for setting an example of excellence, in using their God-given intelligence to achieve academic success. I am proud of all of you and I know your parents, who continually love and support you, are proud also. Well done!
Fr. Tom will lead a historic Eucharistic procession this Monday! As Father Tom writes in his column this weekend, there is an ancient tradition of having a procession on April 25, called the Greater Litanies. It is known that St. Charles Borromeo organized such processions and carried relics through the streets of Milan on that date. With Bishop Rhoades’ approval, and Father Tom’s direction and encouragement, just as St. Charles Borromeo of old, we have also organized a Eucharistic procession following 1:15 pm school Mass in the gym. At the conclusion of Mass, the priests, along with all the second grade students, altar servers, and a few adults will process around the campus, carrying relics, using Ethiopian processional umbrellas, ringing bells, reciting litanies, and finally carrying the Blessed Sacrament under a canopy, with the second graders throwing flower petals toward the Blessed Sacrament. The rest of the school will line the procession route to take part, either singing or reciting litanies. All are invited to attend the Mass and procession to follow!
