MARCH:
Catholic Family Prayer
"Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me..."

Many of us are familiar with these lines, part of the "Breastplate of Saint Patrick," a beautiful prayer asking God for strength and protection.

Join Saint Pius X School Band Director, Sam Kneibel, this week in exploring this prayer, especially how it can help us grow in faith during this time (and pray it with her family!)
 
HOLY WEEK AND EASTER
Will You Join Us?
We are working hard, planning the events of Holy Week and we need your input.

If you are not leaving town for Spring Break this year, please consider completing this brief survey and let us know if and what you plan to attend during Holy Week. We appreciate your help!

This Weekend!
Saturday, March 13
10:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

Sunday, March 14

IT’S TIME TO CLEAN OUT THE DRAWERS, CLOSETS, BASEMENT AND GARAGE!
A special Lenten
almsgiving effort
 
The Saint Pius X Conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Society is participating in the Goodwill “Stuff a Truck” drive. The truck will be parked in the church parking lot (off Fir Road) where you can drop-off your donations.
 
Goodwill accepts a wide range of gently used items, including: furniture, clothing, shoes, electronics, houseware, artwork, books, toys, unsoiled mattresses and box springs, luggage, sporting goods, bicycles, antiques and collectibles.
 
Any items requiring cleaning or repair, large appliances, exercise equipment, computers, swing sets, plumbing fixtures, barbecue grills, automotive items, batteries, tires, and any hazardous materials will not be accepted.
 
The items collected will be sold at a deep discount to people in need who shop at the local store. The money raised helps to support job training and placement programs.
 
Did you know? The SVdP Society provides vouchers redeemable at local Goodwill Stores to clients in need of clothing and household goods.
 
Thank you for your support!    
MARCH PRAYER CHALLENGE:
Pray the Rosary!
This month, our parish challenge is to pray a decade of the Rosary every day. You can certainly pray more, but please don't pray less!

As a reminder, the Rosary is prayed daily at 3:00 p.m. on Facebook (@StPiusGranger), so come join us there if you'd like someone to accompany you!

Save the Date: Monthly Parish Rosary, March 25 at 7:00 p.m., in person in the Church. On the Feast of the Annunciation, we will pray the Rosary with a special meditation on the Joyful Mysteries.
Tuesdays at Noon
SPX STAFF SHARE
SACRED ART
Join us on Facebook each Tuesday at noon during the month of March to hear our staff share their favorite art, discovering even more ways to pray with our "teaching church."
Bible Study

Bible Study is offered at the parish on Thursday mornings immediately following the 8:45 a.m. Mass.

Bible Study is also live on Facebook at the same time!

Below is the link to the Bible Study recording for March 14, 2021.
RENEWAL OF STEWARDSHIP
of Sacrificial Giving
We are in the midst of our Annual Renewal of Stewardship of Sacrificial Giving. All registered parishioners should have received a packet in the mail about this renewal. 

On the weekend of February 13/14, Mike and Tracey Plenzler shared their story of their commitment to stewardship as a way of life (see video below) and on February 20/21, Fr. Bill invited all to prayerfully consider your financial commitment to Saint Pius X for the next year. 

If you haven't already done so, please mail in your family's commitment card, or complete the online commitment form.
