Saint Pius X Catholic Church

In preparation for the Year of the Eucharist, we learn to respond to Jesus’ invitation to encounter him—both through our relationships and our celebration of the sacraments, especially the Eucharist. By learning how to encounter Christ, we can prepare ourselves to be transformed by God’s presence.

Heavenly Father,

Inspire in us a dream of renewed encounter,
and help us to love You with our whole heart, mind, and strength.

Grant us the courage to encounter others with compassion,
and the openness to recognize Christ in our neighbor.

Guided by your Holy Spirit,
may we, our families, and our Saint Pius community
be more completely transformed in a spirit of encounter.

Amen.

Thank you to the 200 plus families who cast a vote for our parish theme for 2022-2023! Based on your feedback, as well as the recent National Eucharistic Revival called for by the U.S. Bishops, we are excited to present to your our roadmap for the next two years of educational and evangelization efforts of our parish. We hope we can grow TOGETHER toward a common love of the Eucharist, the source and summit of our Catholic faith.

2022-2023: Year of Encounter

2023-2024: Year of the Eucharist
The U.S. Bishops have called for a revival of Eucharistic devotion in our diocese and parishes. The parish Year of the Eucharist will help us grow in our love for Christ in the Eucharist, help us draw others back to Mass, and nourish a parish-wide Eucharistic culture.

2022-2024: National Eucharistic Revival
The Eucharistic Revival begins at the diocesan level on the Feast of Corpus Christi (June 19, 2022) with a Eucharistic Procession and Festival in Warsaw, IN. The bishops have asked parishes to begin their revival years in June 2023, culminating with the National Eucharistic Congress in July  2024 in Indianapolis, IN.
