REMINDER
Please have your mask on when you arrive on campus before you roll your window down, whether to check in for Mass OR for communion for online worshippers.
Thank you for respecting the safety of our ministers.

We'll still be offering the opportunity to worship online all weekend long.

Saturday at 5 pm and
Sunday at 7:30 am / 9:30 am / 11:30 am

Communion for
Online Worship
For those who continue to worship online, we are excited to offer the opportunity for you to come to SPX and receive the Eucharist from your car. Our Parking Team will be ready to assist you when you come to SPX from 10:45 - 11:00 am on Sunday.
SLAM: Home Edition
SLAM is back! We hope your little ones enjoy this music and a message from Ms. Kelsey to help them connect what they're hearing in the Gospel parable with their own lives this week.
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 Father 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 SPXBOWIE domain.
Please be diligent in not responding to suspicious emails.
GIVE
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 these coming weeks, but in the months to follow. Our ability to provide ministries relies solely on the continued generosity of our parishioners. You can give in the following ways:
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.

NEW MESSAGE SERIES
Jesus’s parables are beautiful, powerful stories of faith…and sometimes, really confusing. Even Jesus’s own disciples struggled to understand what he meant when he told them. Because we’ve grown up hearing Jesus’s parables, we too can struggle to figure out what they mean. In this series we will explore some of Jesus’s best known parables to discover what is hidden in them. They can help us be renewed in childlike faith today.

SERVE
During the pandemic our church has moved online - we have hundreds of families worship online with us each weekend, our kids & students programs have continued to serve online and our adult small groups have continued to meet using Zoom. And we need to expand. But to do that we need your help! We're looking for people to serve in the following areas:
- Online Mass Host
- Online Small Group Leader
- During Filming Mass Tech Help (screens, cameras, sound)
- Outside of Mass Tech Help (video editing, social media support, etc.)
- Video Talent (on video - saying prayers, making announcements, etc)
Do any of those sound like areas that you could serve in?
Go ahead and fill out an interest form HERE.
SPX Online HOST Ministry
Even with public Masses resuming, we know that our online campus will continue to be where many people are able to worship each weekend. In order to maintain all 4 weekend Masses, we are in need of more Hosts to serve - each Mass takes 3 people.
All you need is your computer and training is provided. Contact Katie Skerpon HERE if you're interested in serving - you can even be in your PJs!
Want to become a Member?
Have you connected with SPX during the pandemic? Have you been attending SPX for a while, but just never officially joined?
Even though we can't welcome you in person at one of our New Member Welcome events, we would love to get you connected and registered now.
Suzanne Fanning is ready to assist you. You can contact her HERE.
