Reminder: There will be no 9 am Mass tomorrow, Thursday, November 24.

You still have time to add the names of your deceased loved ones to our Remembrance Book. To add someone who has died since last November, email us at stpiusx@nb.aibn.com, and we will add them to the list. If you do not have email access, please write/print out your list of names, and place it in the collection basket. Your loved ones will be added to the book and remembered at all Masses during November.

Our final day to accept applications for Christmas Baskets is tomorrow, Tuesday, November 15, between 9:30 am – 12:30 pm in the parish hall. Please use the parking lot entrance. (The side of the church facing towards Millidgeville.) When applying for help, MASKS ARE MANDATORY, and only ONE ADULT MEMBER OF EACH FAMILY should come. Please bring proof of address and identification (Medicare Cards) for all family members living in your home.

It is time to think of those who need help with Christmas dinners. As in previous years, we are looking for help with donations. We have placed pink envelopes marked “Christmas Dinners For Needy Families” on the tables at all entrances. We encourage you to use one of these pink envelopes when you donate. If there are any questions, please call the parish office (653-6830). If possible, we would like to have all donations in by the end of November.

The monthly meeting of the Holy Redeemer CWL will be held in the parish hall on Monday, November 14, at 2 pm. All members are invited to attend.
