We have missed everyone. The desire to worship together in community and receive the Eucharist has worn on all of us. But, we are working to get "back on track"!
At this time, Saint Pius X is taking the essential steps to address every detail necessary to resume public Mass and confessions in a safe and protected environment.
Public weekend Masses and regular confession times are scheduled to begin on May 23, with specific directives from the Diocese. Bishop Rhoades has extended the dispensation from the Sunday obligation until August 15, 2020. All dates are subject to change.
Saint Pius X will continue livestream options.
Details and guidelines are being finalized and will be released this week by email, on the website, through social media, and by a parish mailing. Thank you for your patience!

GETTING TO KNOW
Andy Barnes and Holden Berg

You've heard about the "seminary home-school" that Fr. Bill references at the Rectory. You've prayed with them and laughed at their enjoyable videos. They have worked so hard to help Saint Pius X stay connected as a community. So, who are these people that are living at the Rectory?
Today, we meet seminarians Andy Barnes (left) and Holden Berg (right).
Did you know that Andy's favorite TV show is "The Office"? And, his favorite movie is "The Dark Knight"!
Holden was a tax preparer in his former life. And, his favorite TV show is "Lost"!
Enjoy the video below, created by "Andy and Holden", and watch new editions in this series in upcoming Wednesday newsletters, featuring Fr. Nathan and Fr. Bill.

MOTHER OF DIVINE LOVE PRAYER
The following prayer will replace the parish stewardship prayer at Mass until further notice.
Mother of Divine Love, we entrust to you our nation and world, our families and loved ones, that we may be spared the worst of this illness.
In this time of trial and testing, hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful.
For those already afflicted, obtain the grace of healing and deliverance.
For those working to help the sick and bring an end to this crisis, obtain the strength to continue their work.
Shelter us under the mantle of your protection, conform us to the will of the Father, remind us always of the love of your Son, Jesus, and bring his peace to our land and to our hearts.
Amen.
