HOLY WEEK
Retreat
  Tuesday, April 7, 2020
As our Holy Week virtual retreat continues, Robby Kiley, Director of Religious Education, reflects on the the journey of
St. Peter, through his denial of Jesus and self-isolation, ultimately using prayer to return to his mission: to serve Christ.

  • Where are you struggling with uncertainty or doubt right now? How does prayer feel right now amidst uncertainty and pain in the world?

  • What do you see as your mission right now, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic? Where is God calling you to a new mission?

  • How can the Holy Week liturgies help us find our mission? What is one hope thing you hope to receive from participating in these liturgies?
REFLECTIONS AND MUSIC

Jeremy Hoy, Director of Liturgy and Music, has been recording a video series with colleagues at Saint Pius X, providing reflections and piano performances featuring familiar musical arrangements that correspond to the reflections. Below are links to these videos. Visit the parish website, StPius.net/AtHome , for updates to this series.

What a gift to be able to share this with our community!






COVID 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.

Saint Rocco, protector against the plague and all contagious diseases, pray for us!
