Sacramental Life Fr. Russ
Welcome Fr. Linus Nwatarali I will be gaining a new house mate here at
the Pius rectory. Fr. Linus Nwatarali
moved in here this past Sunday. Fr. Linus
will be exercising his priestly ministry as a
Chaplain for the Mayo Clinic. It will be
nice to have occasional company. Soon, I will ask Fr.
Linus to pen here in the bulletin a little something
about him in order for us to become familiar with
him. So please welcome Fr. Linus as he joins us here
and, in the near future as he settles in, becomes a
permanent presence for the St. Pius Parish Community.
2021 Catholic Ministries Appeal I want to thank all who contributed to the 2021
Catholic Ministries Appeal. Your generosity makes
possible the various ministries for this local Southern
Minnesota Diocese. The results thus far for St. Pius’
Contribution to this annual appeal are:
Parish Goal: $73,800 Total Donations: $76,185
Contributing Households: 256
St. Pius Faith Formation / Youth Ministry Position Opening St. Pius is still seeking qualified applicants for the
position of Director of Faith Formation / Youth
Ministry. If you know of anyone you believe would
be a good fit for this position, please direct them this
way. And if you happen to see Katie Stinson, please
let her know how thankful/grateful you have been for
her presence here at Pius over the years. We sure will
miss her presence here as an employee but Katie, Eric,
and their children will still be joining us for the
celebrations of the Eucharist and all that goes along
with our parish activities. God bless you Katie!!!
Please remember in your prayers,
Jane Clark †
Mother of: Russell Clark
May Jane and the all the souls of the
faithfully departed, through the
mercy of God, rest in peace.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
A process for welcoming adult inquirers to the
Catholic Church.
If you know of someone who desires becoming
Catholic, tell them to contact Betty.
Purpose: To assist prospective Catholics to become
active members of the faith community and to
revive the missionary spirit of all members.
It is divided into four periods of time:
Inquiry: Time to share stories, reflection on the place of
God in our lives.
Catechumenate: Time to develop understanding of
church teachings, participate in liturgy of the Word
and to become active in the faith community.
Enlightenment and Purification: (Usually coincides with
Lent) Time to deepen faith and prayer life
concludes with the sacraments of initiation -
Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.
Mystagogia: Time to experience participation in the life
of the faith community, share Eucharist, live and
pray the gospel in daily life.

Principal's Message We hope that our families are able to enjoy the last
couple weeks of summer with some quality time spent
together. One thing we have all had the opportunity
to learn over the course of this pandemic is to not take
anything for granted and to hopefully enjoy the things
in life that really matter. Our preparations for the
school year are well under way, with the faculty and
staff of St. Pius X School coming back to school next
week. Our school office hours will be returning to
more consistent daily hours the week of August 23rd,
as there are some trainings next week for all
staff. Please call ahead if you are planning to come
into the school office.
We are excited to welcome back the students in our
school community on August 30th and 31st and also to
welcome several new members to our school. As the
school year approaches, please don't hesitate to reach
out to me with any questions you might have, via
email or phone (507-282-5161) and I will get back to
you as soon as I can. Please know of my prayers for
all of our families, teachers, and staff as we prepare for
another exciting school year.
May God be with you always,
Dave Jenson
