MESSAGE SERIES
Our readings and celebrations of the Church these next few weeks tell us to ‘GO’ and build Jesus’ Kingdom. But how exactly do we do that? How do I do that in my daily life amidst all the other responsibilities I have? In this series, each week we’ll take 1 step towards learning how to do this. Together, we’ll see that God presents us with opportunities in our everyday lives to share the difference that faith has made to us and to invite others to begin their own journey. Join us as we’re given the tools we need, and then sent to GO and make that happen.
CONNECT
Have you ever thought about becoming Catholic Or if you are baptized Catholic, preparing for 1st Communion and Confirmation?
We have a process to help you explore Catholicism and prepare for sacraments when you are ready. Although this process is not new, we are looking at offering a new individually-tailored approach and we would like to meet anyone who might be interested to share information on how the process might work for you.
Join us on Wednesday May 12 at 7:30 pm for an information meeting on Zoom. Email adults@spxbowie.org for the Zoom link (or if you are interested in learning more but cannot make the meeting.) It's fine if you are not sure if you want to proceed - the idea is simply to start a conversation - no strings attached.

Prayer Vigil
Tuesday, May 25 at 7 pm
Join the SPX Racial Justice Committee for a brief Prayer Vigil on Tuesday, May 25, the anniversary of George Floyd’s death. His murder renewed the discussion, worldwide, for the need for racial reconciliation. As disciples of Christ, St. Pius X Church and the Racial Justice Committee are inviting all parishioners and Bowie neighbors to meet in the church parking lot where we will pray for the repose of his soul and the need for racial justice. Candles will be provided. Please wear a mask and bring your own lawn chairs. The Vigil will begin at 7p.m. and will last approximately 20 minutes.
During the month of May, we celebrate Asian American & Pacific Islander Hertiage Month. Each week, we'll be learning more about some amazing members of the APPI community:
Did you know that Patsy Mink was the first Asian American woman elected to the US Congress?
Did you know that Fred Korematsu challenged the U. S. Government over the detention of Japanese-American citizens during World War II?

Fred Korematsu, click HERE .
GIVE
We are committed to financial transparency in the use of your generous and sacrifical monetary donations. Please see below for our April 2021 Financial Update. For previous months, please click HERE.
Making plans for the summer? Make sure to plan for your offertory as well! When your summer travels take you away from Sunday services, eGiving lets you continue to support St. Pius X Parish and the ministries you cherish. You can sign up from your computer, smartphone or tablet, and set up a recurring donation or make a one-time gift.
Recurring gifts sustain our parish through the busy summer months. You’ll provide us with consistent support, even if you’re away on a Sunday, so the programs, services, and ministries that mean so much to our community will never miss a beat.
