Thank You for your generous gift to these students and to our scholarship endowment. Recipients: Ashley Botz, Marcus Pettinger, Gabe Douglas, Taylor Nelson, Brandon Patlan

St. Charles Borromeo Parish was established by the Diocese of Boise on June 17, 1883.

To commemorate this important historical event, a parish museum is being created. The story of our Catholic Faith’s Journey in the region and the role St. Charles has played as the “Mother Parish” of southeastern Idaho will be told. June 23rd is the official unveiling of our project. Stop by and enjoy our history.

Welcome the new Missionaries Servants of the Word

Join us in welcoming Leo Herrera Ramirez and Jesus Romero Angeles, our new Catholic Missionaries to the Wood River Valley. Leo and Jesus are members of a religious community based in Jerome named the Missionaries Servants of the Word (MSP). Their main charism is to: "Evangelize the laity to evangelize with the laity."

Leonidas (Leo) Herrera Ramirez is from Guatemala and joined the community in 2021. Leo says that he's eager to meet people and pray with them. He hopes that by teaching about the sacraments people will come to know Jesus. Leo has been living in Idaho since August 2021.

Jesus Romero Angeles is from Mexico City and joined the missionaries 2021 and arrived in Jerome in May 2022. After some 8 months of doing discernment, he decided to give a year of service to the Church by serving as a Catholic missionary in Idaho.

The missionaries will be living at the rectory in Hailey and are eager to meet people of both Our Lady of the Snows and St. Charles parishes. Join me in welcoming Leo and Jesus to the Wood River Valley and let us pray that their mission with us will bring people closer to Christ!   They ask for no monetary payment for their ministry, but meals and transportation so they can do home visits. If you would like to invite the missionaries to your home for a meal or just to get to know them, call the parish office and we will put you on the list
