Can God be good when life is not?
When life hits hard, it plunges us into a sea of questions we hoped we'd never have to ask. But when you feel broken, abandoned, and struggling to find answers, there's a beacon in the storm. In this message series we will learn how we can cling to God even when our circumstances are overwhelming because He will carry us through the storm. He is our
Hope in the Dark.
Week 2
Where are You, God? You don't seem to care.

Sign-up Today for a Small Group and discover how "Life is Better Together." Each week groups meet, catch up on life, and then dive deeper into the message series from the weekend Mass and how it applies to their lives.
Groups will meet starting the week of October 20. Our goal for these Fall groups is that they will run for the rest of the academic year, although we are only asking you for an initial 8-week commitment from mid-October to mid-December.

Our Sandwich Ministry is an outgrowth of our parish's support of SOME, a soup kitchen in DC. This is a great way to help feed the hungry that can be done at home, perhaps with your family or small group.
Sandwiches should be only meet and cheese, sealed in a baggie. They can be delivered to the coolers located in the church entranceway on
October 24th.

With the arrival of autumn, I'd like to invite you to join Faith Direct, our parish's electronic giving program. Our to-do lists can get lengthy during this season, but Faith Direct's eGiving program will give you one less thing to remember each week - no more enevelopes to find before you to to Mass.
Thank you for your prayerful support of St. Pius X Parish.
God Bless You,
-Fr. Mike Jones

Are you interested in becoming a member of SPX?
Our registration process is a bit different than what you might be used to. It seems only fair that before you make such an important decision, you know a bit about us; therefore, our membership process starts with an invitation to learn and explore our parish vision, the many opportunities we offer to have a life-changing encounter with Jesus, and what commitments we ask of our members. And the best way to do that is to join us for one of our monthly
New Parishioner Welcome events
.
At the Welcome event, you will get to meet Fr. Mike, our staff and some parishioners, have some light lunch, and hear firsthand what we have to offer you in your faith journey. We will also encourage you to begin praying about opportunities for you to get involved at SPX.
Welcome events are held one Sunday each month after the 11:30 am Mass in the Faith Center, which is located on the opposite side of campus from the Church across from the large playground. The event lasts about an hour.
