Welcoming Fr. Charles

We'll celebrate Fr. Charles Lugenda's visit with cake and coffee after Mass on October 19 and 20. Feel free to bring a card or gift to help defray his expenses and to thank him for 46 years of priestly service to the church.

We need volunteers to help us cut cakes, serve, and clean up after each Mass this weekend.

Fr. Charles is a long-time friend of Mother Teresa Parish. While on sabbatical leave from Uganda in 2007-2008, Fr. Charles often celebrated Mass at Green Hope HS, then a station of St. Michael Parish and the future Mother Teresa Parish.

Through this relationship, we saw a beautiful opportunity to share our blessings with his faithful Christian community in need of many necessities. When Fr. Charles was named St. Matia's pastor in 2008, we held our first campaign for the parish to assist the children with tuition and school supplies.
