We begin the season of Advent journeying through Scripture together beginning with the Old Testament passages that foretell of the coming Savior through the events leading up to Jesus' birth. Using the Advent readings, traditional & contemporary music, and a time of Adoration this evening will be a beautiful way to prepare your heart for Christmas. Join both our Saturday and Sunday music groups as we REJOICE that Emmanuel is coming!
MESSAGE SERIES
What does it mean to follow Jesus? It means being a disciple - someone who surrenders one’s life to God wholeheartedly and generously, trusting in God at all times. In this series we will talk about what God is asking us to do and how we can respond wholeheartedly.
CONNECT
In this message series, we're talking about what it means to be a disciple, one who has surrendered their life to Jesus and then follows Him. We might truly want what Jesus is offering us, but aren't sure how to move forward. If this speaks to you, then we we invite you to join us for CrossRoads: An Evening of Reflection.
The term 'crossroads' describes the ways that God comes into our lives, when God intersects with us and makes his presence known. And in those moments we can be ilke the scribe in today's Gospel, and not resepond to the invitation, or we can be like Bartemaeus last week and follow Jesus.
During this evening of reflection, we'll guide you to discover what have been the crossroad moments in your life and how you can move forward with Jesus. The event will last about an hour and you can attend in person or at SPX Online.
If you know that Jesus is calling you to follow Him and want to respond, we hope you'll join us on Tuesday, November 16 at 7 pm for CrossRoads: An Evening of Reflection.
In celebration of Black Catholic History Month, the Racial Justice Committee invites you to a discussion with members of St. Pius X community as they share their stories as Black Catholics in the US. The event will take place on Zoom on November 18, 2021 at 7 p.m and will last approximately 1 1/2 hours. We hope you'll join us as we share and celebrate the unique stories of Black Catholics.

Thanksgiving Day reminds us to be grateful for all we have; not just on this day but every day of our lives. As we prepare to celebrate, let's reflect on the reasons we have to be thankful!
