JANUARY:
Praying with
your Family
As we continue our Year of Prayer in 2021, we want to give everyone a new resolution to embrace as a family: pray together more! Whatever your family looks like, whether you are a family of one or a dozen, nuclear or blended, we hope the new year can be an opportunity to pray—and to do so TOGETHER!
 
Megan Sorg and her family kick off our year with thoughts on how to pray together in the midst of a pandemic. At the end of the month, the Sorgs revisit the video and provide new thoughts reflecting on a year of “pandemic prayer” as a family. While many things are challenging, we can all still grow from time in prayer. Visit the web page below to hear more!
 
JANUARY PRAYER CHALLENGE:
Pray 10 a Day
with the Family!
This month, our parish challenge is to pray with your family everyday for ten minutes. If your family already follows this prayer ritual, keep up the great work! Consider adding a few additional minutes and/or a new prayer to your routine.
 
We challenge all families to take this new year as encouragement to pray regularly and accept this beautiful component of faith in your life!

Virtual
CHRISTMAS CONCERT!
Available beginning Sunday, January 10, 2:00 p.m.
 
Did you know? To create the music for the Christmas Prelude and Masses took countless hours by the Liturgy and Music Department and included:
 
7 in-person singers
14 adult/11 youth handbell ringers recorded in-person
43 virtual adult choir members, including 5 former members now in other states
12 virtual middle school choir members
25 virtual children's choir members
8 in-person instrumentalists
36 virtual instrumentalists, including 4 former instrumentalists living in other states
 
The in-person and virtual recordings were edited together for the full effect you will hear in the encore performance during the Christmas Concert. We are blessed in so many ways!
Parish Book Program
the 15 minute prayer solution
"I don’t have time to pray."
 
"I don’t know how to pray."
 
"I don’t know what to pray for."
 
Do you identify with one or all of these statements; most people do. With Gary Jansen’s The 15-Minute Prayer Solution, anyone can learn to turn those “I don’t” statements into “I do” declarations— and be transformed in the process.

Your invitation awaits.... Sign up now!

That Man
IS YOU!
Men,

No New Years resolutions yet? Might we make a suggestion?

  • Are you looking to get involved in our Parish?
  • Are you looking to form friendships with men in our Parish?
  • Are you looking to deepen your relationship with God?
  • Are you looking for ways to become a better man?

If the answer to any of these questions is “Yes”, then we have the program for you. And, the best part is that you can start all these resolutions in just one place.

Join the largest men’s group at Saint Pius X, That Man Is You! (TMIY). We currently meet Saturday mornings via Zoom with a morning Rosary, short video from Paradisus Dei, and discussion about the video. There is no cost to join. The Spring Semester begins January 16. Please click HERE to sign up!
