Men's & Women's Retreats
Each year, the men and women of our parish attend a weekend retreat at Notre Dame Retreat House in Canandaigua, NY. These retreats are a wonderful opportunity to step out of your daily routine and step into time spent with Christ. Notre Dame is a wonderfully peaceful place that is nestled along Canandaigua Lake, and offers spectacular views and opportunities for prayer and reflection.
​
The parish contact for the Men’s retreat is Ed Holden (epholden@gmail.com) and the contact for the Women’s retreat is Mary Gardner (twodoorscrc.mfg@gmail.com). Or, you can call our offices for information at (585) 663-3230.

Our Lady Queen of Peace Rosary Group
Pope Saint John Paul II was very devoted to the prayer of the Rosary, so much so that he added another set of mysteries to this ancient (1221 A.D.) form of prayer. Saint Charles Borromeo said the Rosary every day, and strongly recommended the devotion to all of his people. The Catechism (2682) states: “Because of Mary’s singular cooperation with the action of the Holy Spirit, the Church loves to pray in communion with the Virgin Mary, to magnify with her the great things the Lord has done for her, and to entrust supplications and praises to her.”
​
At Saint Charles, the Rosary is said in the church after daily mass/communion. All are welcome. For more information, contact Wilda Liana by email liana@frontiernet.net.
Scripture Study
In the fall of 2006, members of St. Charles Borromeo initiated an in-depth study of the Gospel of Matthew, utilizing a self-contained Scripture study program offered by Catholic Scripture Study International. Since our beginning with the study of Matthew in 2006 we have studied The Acts of the Apostles in 2007, The Revelation to John in 2008, and currently, Genesis. We have also studied short courses, including The Passion of Christ — the Story of Redemptive Suffering, Will Catholics Be Left Behind, and The Sacred Council: Exploring the Documents of the Second Vatican Council.
