JOINING OUR PARISH We welcome all who seek a spiritual home in our Catholic community. Introduce yourself to the pastor and he will help you join our parish. If you are not baptized, or are baptized in another Christian tradition and seek full communion with the Catholic Church, consider the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults process. It begins with inquiry sessions in which you can ask questions and discuss issues with other seekers. The process continues with opportunities for learning and spiritual transformation. The RCIA also serves baptized Catholics who did not have the opportunity to receive Holy Communion and Confirmation. The Director of Religious Education will help you start.
BAPTISM If you are parents seeking baptism for your child, please introduce yourself to the pastor a�er Mass. He wishes to meet you in person before making an appointment for baptism preparation.
MARRIAGE Our pastor invites engaged couples to make an appointment with him at least six months prior to marriage, before se�ing a wedding date. Couples are welcome to call as soon as you decide to marry or even while you are still considering whether to go forward toward marriage.
RECONCILIATION Saturday at Corpus Christi Church: 4:15–4:45 pm Sunday at St Pius X Church: 9:10–9:25 am or by appointment.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS Jon Leonetti will lead our Parish Mission
May 3--5, 2020. 6:30p.m. “Surge of the Heart.” https://
www.jonleonetti.com/ Prayer for a Pandemic
May we who are merely inconvenienced remember those whose lives are at stake.
May we who have no risk factors remember those most vulnerable.
May we who have the luxury of working from home remember those who must choose between preserving
their health or making their rent. May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close
remember those who have no options. May we who have to cancel our trips
remember those that have no place to go. May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market
remember those who have no margin at all. May we who settle in for a quarantine at home
remember those who have no home. During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other,
let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbors. Amen.
