Happy 140th Anniversary!
St. Charles Church in Bellows Falls, Vermont is joyfully celebrating its 140th anniversary—a remarkable milestone in the life of our parish and the community we serve. To mark this special occasion, we’re inviting everyone to join us for a fun-filled community carnival on Saturday, July 19, 2025. It’s our way of sharing this moment of gratitude, faith, and fellowship with the entire Bellows Falls area and beyond.
Fr. Victor Cruz, the parishioners of St. Charles Church, Our Lady of the Valley in Townshend, Stratton Mountain's Chapel of the Snows and the Knights of Columbus Council #753 are filled with joy and excitement as we reflect on the rich history of St. Charles Parish and look ahead to a bright future. The carnival promises a day of laughter, games, food, and celebration for all ages—we hope to see you there as we honor 140 years of faith, service, and community spirit!
