And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
St. David's adult choir and Queen of Angels children's choir will sing the 11:00 Mass today, Sunday, November 13 in observance of Veterans Day.

Our Church would not be what it is today if it weren’t for their formation process. The formation truly transforms us and helps us to go forth to do the work of Christ. Saint Charles is a marvelous place that forms priests not just for local churches, but for places around the world.
