From Fr. Russ
Every now and then you can read
something from the net that makes you
go: wow! I mean like it really puts things
in perspective and you realize that we
have really had more than we need. We
can take so much for granted in this
consumer, quick fix culture we are a part
of. The following is from a Blog by Ted Bauer entitled:
Imagine if you were born in 1900. Please read, or you
can google, and then take a minute afterwards to thank
your lucky stars.
Imagine if you were born in 1900, by Ted Bauer
It’s a mess out there now. Hard to discern between
what’s a real threat and what is just simple panic and
hysteria. For a small amount of perspective at this
moment, imagine you were born in 1900. On your 14
th
birthday, World War I starts and ends on your 18
th
birthday. 22 million people die in that war. Later in
that year a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs
until your 20
th
birthday. 50 million people die from it in
those two years. Yes, 50 million! On your 29
th
birthday, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment
hits 25%, the World GDP drops 27%. That runs until
you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the
world economy. When you turn 39, World War II
starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet. And don’t try
to catch your breath. On your 41
st
birthday, the United
States is fully pulled into WWII. Between your 39
th
and
45
th
birthday, 75 million people die in that war.
Smallpox was epidemic until you were in your 40’s, as it
killed 300 million people during your lifetime. At 50,
the Korean War starts. 5 million people die. From your
birth, until you were 55, you dealt with the fear of polio
epidemics each summer. You experience friends and
family contracting Polio and being paralyzed and/or
dying. At 55 the Vietnam War begins and doesn’t end
for 20 years. 4 million people die in that war. During
the Cold War, you lived each day with the fear of
nuclear annihilation. On your 62
nd
birthday you have
the Cuban Missile Crises, a tipping point in the Cold
War. Life on our planet, as we know it, almost
ended. When you turn 75 the Vietnam War finally
ends.
Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How did
they endure all that? When you were a kid in 1985 and
didn’t think your 85 year old grandparent understood
how hard school was, or how mean that kid in your
class was… Yet, they survived through everything listed
above. Perspective is an amazing art. Let’s try to keep
things in perspective. Our parents and grandparents
were called to endure all of the above – we are called to
stay home and sit on our couch.
Seeking Some Awesome Adults
Are you willing to give 6 hours of your
time to accompany amazing youth
from our parish on their faith journey?
We are seeking faithful adults to pray
for our youth and help lead small
groups of middle and high school
students this fall. You do not need to
know everything about the faith, but
you must have a love for young
people, the Church, and a desire to
grow in your own faith. Each group
will have two adult leaders and both
leaders must be VIRTUS trained and pass a criminal
background check. To find out more information or to
apply, contact Katie Stinson at [email protected].

This study will now be offered

soon through the parish
communication.

Autumn Months
O God of Creation, you have blessed us with the
changing of the seasons.
As we welcome the autumn months,
may the earlier setting of the sun
remind us to take time to rest.
May the brilliant colors of the leaves
remind us of the wonder of your creation.
May the steam of our breath in the cool air
remind us that it is you who give us the breath of life.
May the harvest from the fields remind us of the
abundance we have been given and bounty we are to
share with others.
May the dying of summer's spirit remind us of your
great promise that death is temporary and life is
eternal.
We praise you for your goodness forever and ever.

World Mission Sunday is a day set aside for Catholics
worldwide to recommit themselves to the Church’s
missionary activity through prayer and sacrifice.
The collection on October 18th is a unique, global
effort for the entire Church to provide for the
building up of over one thousand local churches in
Asia and Africa, the Pacific Islands, and parts of Latin
America and Europe. Through the work of these
churches, and their witness to Christ, the poor receive
practical help and experience God’s love and mercy,
His hope and peace.

AS OF 10/5/20
Come to the feast! God calls us to
participate in the banquet of life,
a banquet that can fill and satisfy
us like no other. It is a spiritual
feast where we find inner
refreshment and satisfy the thirst
and hunger of our souls. Do you
want to come? Every human being receives an
invitation; no one is excluded. There is no charge and
an abundant table is set. Some will blatantly refuse.
They see no merit in attending and feel that they can
fill their needs in other ways. Others will simply
ignore the invitation. Maybe they are too consumed
with other matters they feel are more important at the
time. Still others may even get angry and feel deep
resentment for even being asked, resorting to acts of
violence in protest of the very presence of the feast. In
spite of this, many will also come. They will be the
good and the bad, the lost and the lonely, and the
ones who understand. They know love when they see
it. When they go to the feast, they will rejoice and be
glad as they will have found the God for whom they
looked!

BABY BOTTLE CAMPAIGN OFFERS REAL
HOPE AND HELP TO WOMEN AND
CHILDREN
Angela is a single mother of a six month old
baby girl. Her hours were cut this spring due
to the COVOD - 19 and she was struggling
to pay her bills. Angela called Catholic Charities and
met with a social worker to apply for the Mother
and Child Assistance Fund.
Catholic Charities provided assistance with her
outstanding utility bill and helped her to create a
budget in order to stay ahead. Her social worker got
Angela connected to community resources that
helped provide diapers and baby needs. Angela
now attends Catholic Charities' monthly parenting
group to meet other new parents and increase her
confidence in raising her daughter. She has
expressed gratitude to Catholic Charities and the
donors that make the Mother and Child Fund
possible. THANK YOU for your generous support of
the Baby Bottle Campaign. Remember, this year we
are asking you to take/mail a check to the St Pius
Office. Please, CHECK ONLY - NO CASH! Make
check out to Catholic Charities and designate your
donation to Baby Bottle Campaign on the memo
line. Thank you.

Socially Distant Trunk or Treat
Saturday, October 24, Following the 4:00 Mass
Mark your calendars for in-person Trunk or Treating this year! A few extra safety
precautions will be added this year to help us keep our event as safe as possible. We
will not have any indoor activities or our usual pizza supper, but we will have trunk or treating.
Handing out treats?
All participants must wear a mask and maintain social distancing of 6 ft.
Reserve a space for your car in advance on our parish website or via Flocknote.
We’ll mark the parking lot in advance so cars are spaced out appropriately.
Plan ahead for your treat distribution. Consider bringing a small table to set treats on or get
creative with tongs, tubes, or costume gloves for handing out treats. Consider non-edible treats
Bringing your kids?
All participants (ages 2 years and over) must wear a mask.
“Slime” hand sanitizing stations will be set up at the beginning and end of the trunk-or-treating route.
There will be designated entrance and route to follow through the parking lot to get to each trunk to
help space out trick or treaters.
Stay together with your group, split larger families into small groups.
Limit of one family at a time at each vehicle.
Use wide-mouth buckets or bags that are easy to drop treats into.
As with all events during the pandemic, if you are not feeling well or have been exposed
to a known case of COVID-19, please stay home. If your child needs to miss out of the
fun due to high risk family members, please contact the parish office so we can plan for
a contactless surprise from the youth ministry office.

Gambling licensing process, the cash raffle
drawing has been postponed. Updates will be
