Growing In Faith Together (GIFT) – For all parishioners:
At St. Charles, the whole community is the center of faith formation. Our formation is designed to support all who wish to grow in their faith and knowledge of our Catholic tradition.
GIFT promotes faith formation as an ongoing and lifelong process that is inter-generational. By Growing In Faith Together our community is involved in faith formation that is centered in the events of church life, thus promoting faith growth at home.
Monthly, families have an opportunity to gather to learn about and share faith. The gatherings consist of prayer, learning, activities, crafts, movies, stories and a take home kit to re-enforce the lessons and tie them to our daily lives.
Each gathering will be offered 5 times per month and each session will be approximately 2 hours in length.

GIFT Homework
In addition to attendance at weekly Mass and our monthly gathering, families are asked to put aside time each week to help your children grow in faith. Included on this website are short and easy assignments to be completed at home with a parent and handed in at each session.
We use the Pflaum Gospel weeklies for children in grades K-6. If you are interested, the Pflaum website has additional materials for families to use. Just visit www.pflaum.com and sign up to use the family pages. This is a free service with a lot of very good materials for families.
