Welcome to the Year of Renewal at Saint Pius X!
“To Renew All Things in Christ.” This was the motto of our patron, Saint Pius X. We put this on our website, our letterhead, and even in the art in our new church. But how often do we stop to think about what this really means? This August 2021, we kick-off a “Year of Renewal.” We will explore the many ways that each of us, our parish, and our Church is invited to be “renewed.” We’ll look inward and see the way that the liturgical year is the “true teacher of faith” that calls us to continual renewal of our faith (Directory for Catechesis, 82). We’ll also look outward, and learn how the principles of the Catholic Social Tradition give us a blueprint for the renewal of our society, moving ever closer to the vision of the Kingdom of God. Throughout this year, we also hope to grow as a parish family, renewing our relationships and service as we slowly emerge from the isolation wrought by COVID-19.
Each month will focus on a theme of renewal (see below), with specific weekly communications (bulletin, eNewsletter, social media) that share church teaching on the topic, prayers and liturgy that enhance our understanding of the theme, opportunities for service and sacrificial giving, and saints who model the theme. There will also be a bonus email once a month with connections to the theme, articles, and activities for families to share at home.
Our theme of renewal will also carry through into our religious education programs, adult faith offerings, Lenten series, and more. We will also host a parish mission night on Wednesday, September 29. Fr. Bill Lies, C.S.C., Provincial Superior for the Congregation of Holy Cross, will share with us what it means to “Renew All Things in Christ.” Programming for children and teens will also be provided. We hope that you are as excited as we are to embark on this journey of renewal!
