2 A MESSAGE FROM FATHER PAT First, thanks for the warm welcome and the very well thought out responses. The greatest gift, and this was almost unanimous, was the people of St. Pius X and interestingly enough the biggest liability was the same. So I guess that means we are normal. Our next step is to start looking at your pastoral priorities and as I said, that will take some time. One of the other concerns that arose was many of the ministries don't have a leader and the parish staff is doing much of the scheduling and training. I would love if before the ministry fair in September, if we could have at least of point of contact for each liturgical ministry. On a personal note, the Gospel this weekend has always been a family favorite! A priest that my mom had referred to as her 4th kid would always say to her Martha, Martha, Martha when she would get too task oriented. Great memories and a salute to all the Marthas because without you all, nothing would get accomplished. Finally, I was also surprised to see the Marriage Banns printed here over the last few weeks. We are not starting anything "new", just respecting the couples' familial and cultural traditions. In Him, Fr. Pat We d like to welcome you to St. Pius X Catholic Church & School. We re excited to be joined together as a Parish family and would love to have you join us on our spiritual journey. We welcome you with open arms wherever you are in your faith walk. Perhaps you re looking for a Parish home or searching for answers to life's questions. No matter your situation, we would love to share with you what our Lord Jesus Christ is doing in our lives as individuals and as a Parish community. Please let us know how we can serve you. Join us in worship at one of our five weekend Masses; Saturday 5:00 PM, Sunday 8:00 AM (ASL), 10:15 AM, 12:10 PM (MEF) and 5:00 PM. 10 GOALS FOR THE YEAR OF MERCY The Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy is a special time for the Church (Dec. 8, 2015 Nov. 6, 2016), a time when our witness as believers might grow stronger and more effective. How can a busy person actually live it, day-to-day? 1.) Receive God s mercy. - Jesus waits for you in the confessional. Seek this sacrament at St. Pius X on Saturdays, and receive the forgiveness, healing, and rest that Jesus so desires to give you. 2.) Learn about God s mercy. Before we can extend mercy to others, we must know that we are loved and forgiven. 3.) Apologize for wrongs. Many of us struggle to say, I m sorry. Please forgive me. This year, work to make this a habit. 4.) Pray for the grace to forgive others. Jesus tells us that we must forgive seventy-times seven times a biblical way of saying always. 5.) Make a list of ways you can show mercy to your family. Make a list of your family members. Next to each name, write one way that you can show them mercy during this Year of Mercy. 6.) Show someone mercy with your body. Corporal Works of Mercy describes those ways that Christians are called to help people through using our bodies. 7.) Show someone mercy with your spirit. Spiritual Works of Mercy describes those spiritual ways that Christians are called to help others: Comforting, counseling, being patient with those who sin against us, praying, and others. 8.) Make a pilgrimage to your local Holy Doors. A unique part of the Church s Jubilee years are the Holy Doors, which offer us an opportunity to make an act of faith and receive a Plenary Indulgence (forgiveness of sin and its effects). 9.) Tell someone about God s mercy. This year, it is especially important for us to tell everyone the Good News about God s love for them. 10.) Support local charities that extend mercy to others. Ask how you can support their mission, with your time, talent and treasure. PRAYER TO ST. PIUS X Glorious Pope of the Eucharist, Saint Pius X, you sought "to restore all things in Christ. Obtain for me a true love of Jesus so that I may live only for Him. Help me to acquire a lively fervor and a sincere will to strive for sanctity of life, and that I may avail myself of the riches of the Holy Eucharist in sacrifice and sacrament. By your love for Mary, mother and queen of all, inflame my heart with tender devotion to her. Blessed model of the priesthood, obtain for us holy, dedicated priests, and increase vocations to the religious life. Dispel confusion and hatred and anxiety, and incline our hearts to peace and concord so that all nations will place themselves under the sweet reign of Christ. Amen. Saint Pius X, pray for us.
