Prayers Of The Faithful – March 21

For Pope Francis who asks us to see in the One God, the Trinity of Love, the source of unity that enables members of the Church to be unique in beauty and equal in dignity.
We pray to the Lord.

For workers bringing vaccination against COVID 19 to the most vulnerable and then to the whole population.
We pray to the Lord.

For Bishop Christian, his priests and catechists as they offer a new faithfilled process for Confirmation preparation.
We pray to the Lord.

For families, and especially for expectant mothers, that they will receive special graces as we celebrate the Feast of the Annunciation on Thursday.
We pray to the Lord.

For our children and grandchildren, especially those in school and places of learning as our culture tries to separate them from their faith and family.
We pray to the Lord.

For people who are ill at home or in hospital and for those in long term care and for people with cancer.
We pray to the Lord.

For those who have died: Gerard McGillivray, Livin McGrath, Jean Gabriel, Patricia Banks, Paul Richard, Theresa Bouchard, Paul Horgan, Pat Montague, and for their families and friends who mourn them.
We pray to the Lord.

Easter Flowers


Donations in memory of loved ones may be placed in an envelope and dropped in the Sunday offertory by Sunday, March 28. Please put your name and envelope number, together with the name(s) of those being remembered, on the outside of the envelope. Your loved ones will be prayed for at the Easter vigil on Saturday, April 3, and remembered at all Masses during the Easter season.

If you aren’t attending Mass in person, you can also make your donation via e-Transfer using stpiusx@nb.aibn.com as the contact. Please add the names of your loved ones in the message field. No security question is required.

Mass Invitations

Our weekly invitations to Mass have all been sent out. Unfortunately, even with the increase in the number of people allowed in the church, we still can’t accommodate everyone each weekend. Those that weren’t invited this weekend will be the first parishioners invited next weekend.

Please respond to both email and phone invitations, even if you aren’t planning on attending. If we know you won’t be at Mass, that means that we have an additional spot to offer to someone else.
