How can we stay connected to our faith and community while we are social distancing?

Losing the ability to celebrate Mass together weekly was a blow to us all. Our staff is working on various

ways to pray, learn, and stay connected to one another. If you have ideas or skills that may help us

grow closer as a parish community or serve one another please let us know.

In the meantime:

• Sign up to volunteer to assist and reach out to our home bound parishioners. (see the parish website at

www.piusx.org)

• Let's pray together.

Pray for the intentions of our parishioners - If you would like to be a part of our prayer ministry or if you have specific

prayer requests for these prayer warriors, please let us know so we can forward them on.

Form a virtual "prayer group" - Several of you have already begun scheduling time to connect by praying together via

video chats. If you're willing to help us create, lead, or be a part of one, please sign up for our email list. We'll help

give you ideas of how to pray together.

Watch email and subscribe to our YouTube Channel. We are planning to try a parish-wide prayer via Zoom soon!

• Keep learning about the faith to increase your hunger for the Sacraments! We are excited to announce that our

parish now has access to premium video content from Word on Fire. These films and videos feature Bishop Robert

Barron who has been hailed as “one of the Church’s greatest messengers" and is the second most-followed Catholic

in the world on social media (behind only Pope Francis.) He is best known for his CATHOLICISM film series and

his Emmy-nominated Pivotal Players series, which have both aired on PBS and EWTN, and have been seen by mil-

lions of people.

Thanks to Flocknote, our parish's email and texting tool, we can now send you short Bishop Barron videos with

engaging questions via email or text message. We encourage you to participate in our parish discussions as together we

draw deeper into the Faith.

In addition, you now have access to the entire Word on Fire digital video library. You can watch any of Bishop

Barron's films or study programs whenever you want, on any device! Just click on any video we send to get started!

If your email and/or phone number is not registered with the parish, or if you would like to add

additional addresses, please register at https://StPiusXChurch.flocknote.com/everyone

Parish Notes

CHARITABLE GIVING. The Church of St. Pius X understands the economic impact that this emergency

is having on so many individuals in our parishes, as well as on our community as a whole. In times like this, it is

even more urgent for us to assist our brothers and sisters who are in the most need. We encourage you

to consider supporting organizations that are responding to this crisis, such as Catholic Charities or the Society of

St. Vincent de Paul. Also, please continue to work to support individuals who depend on parish

charitable efforts for other necessities.

PARISH SUPPORT. Our Weekly Collections remain essential to the continued operation of our parish and its

mission. With the suspension of Masses through May 15th, weekly contributions are uncertain. Through all of these

sudden events, St. Pius' financial landscape has become more vulnerable

WEEKLY ENVELOPES may be mailed to or placed in the parish office lock-box at 1315 12th Ave NW.

DIRECT GIVING will continue as normal. If you would like to enroll or makes changes to your current donation,

please contact the parish office.

ONLINE GIVING allows you to make donations using your debit/credit card. The weshare site also has 2nd collec-

tions available. You are able to access from the parish website. Please contact Doug at the parish office if you have

any questions.

Thank you for supporting St. Pius X!

A PRAYER FOR OUR PRIESTS DURING

THIS TIME.

Eternal God,

Be with our priests this day

as they seek to minister to your people.

May you be a guiding and protective presence

with them as they bring the consolation and

hope of Your word and the grace and nourish-

ment of Eucharist to those entrusted into their

care.

Grant them the strength of mind and body,

keep them safe to do your will,

And give them the courage and peace

to face each day with trust and confidence in

You.

Into your hands O God, we commend them;

fill them with your grace and healing. Amen.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I CAN’T

GO TO MASS? Catholics are

encouraged to make a ‘spiritual

communion. ’St. John Paul II

writes that “it is good to cultivate

in our hearts a constant desire for the sacrament of

the Eucharist. This was the origin of the practice of

‘spiritual communion,’ which has happily been estab-

lished in the Church for centuries and recommended

by saints who were masters of the spiritual life.

HOW DO I MAKE A SPIRITUAL COMMUNION?

Below are recommendations for how to make a

‘spiritual communion’ when unable to participate in

the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The recommendations

can be adapted based upon personal and family

needs.

1. Gather with others in your household and begin a

time of prayer with the sign of the cross.

2. Take time to read and reflect upon the readings

from Sunday Mass. You can find the readings at

usccb.org.

Additionally, a weekly televised Sunday Mass is avail-

able to watch at: https://

www.dowr.org/about/weekly-mass.html for the

diocese. Most of all we are blessed to have Father

Russ saying Mass via the YOUTUBE Channel from

Tuesday through Sunday.

3. Share prayer intentions quietly or aloud.

4. Pray the Lord’s Prayer.

5. Close with the sign of the cross.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER

My Jesus,

I believe that you are present

in the most Blessed Sacrament.

I love You above all things and

I desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there,

and unite myself wholly to You.
