MESSAGE SERIES

Do you feel stuck? Unsure of where to go, what to do, how to channel your energy and emotions? If so, you are not alone. How can you get unstuck? In this series we will explore ways to begin 2021 getting unstuck from whatever is keeping us from making progress in our lives and as disciples. Because we are free in Christ and need to live in His freedom.

For more information on the series, click HERE.

Each day until the end of the month, we ask that you take a few minutes at noon to pray 'A Prayer for our Nation in Transition' with our parish family.

The prayer will be posted on our social media channels each day at noon, and you can download a hardcopy below.

FRAUDULENT EMAILS

We have received a few reports from parishioners, as well as our staff, of fraudulent emails being received by people from a spam account using Fr. Mike's name. Please note that Fr. Mike will never communicate a need for assistance in this way. We are unable to stop these fraudulent emails as they are outside of the ADW or SPXBOWIE domain. Please be diligent in not responding to suspicious emails.

GIVE

Not even a pandemic could stop SPX from helping others this holiday season. Families Helping Families saw a 60% increase in financial contributions with St. Joseph's Parish receiving 100 turkeys. In Advent, your financial donations to the Giving Tree doubled that of the previous year and we collected more car seats and car seat / stroller combos than ever before - it took 6 packed-full vehicles to transport all the items dropped off at GIVE! Monies collected through both projects were distributed to the Bowie Interfaith Food Pantry & Emergency Aid Fund as well as Assumption Catholic Church in DC. Thank you for your generosity and support of these important mission projects.

With the long-term economic and social impact of this situation, we encourage parishioners to please continue to financially give to make sure the parish can operate not just in the short-term, but for years to come. Our ability to provide ministries relies solely on the continued generosity of our parishioners.

Businesses and churches are beginning to reopen, however St. Pius X Parish still depends on online donations to continue our ministry. We prayerfully invite you to sign up for eGiving from your computer, smartphone or tablet and set up a recurring donation or make a one-time gift. Sign up today by clicking HERE.
Thank you for your continued support of our parish family.
