VCR
Our Religious Education program still uses a few older videos that are only available on VHS tape. Our VCR has finally failed, and new ones are no longer available. If anyone has an old VHS VCR collecting dust and would consider donating it, we would be very appreciative. Please contact the parish office (506-653-6830 or stpiusx@nb.aibn.com) if you can help. Thanks.

CWL Book & Puzzle Sale
The Holy Redeemer CWL is holding its annual Book & Puzzle Sale tomorrow, Saturday, September 19, 9 am – 5 pm, in the St. Pius X parish hall, 316 Somerset Street. Come by and stock up for the winter at great prices.
Votive Stands
Unfortunately, we are going to have to stop replenishing the votive candle stands at the back of the church. Children are being allowed to light candles unattended, which poses a serious risk to them and those around them. In the last few weeks a child nearly suffered a burn due to lack of supervision.
The other issue we are facing is that votive candles cost the parish a substantial amount of money every year. However, most candles being lit at the back of the church are not being paid for. We recently paid over $1,800 for candles and only brought in $1,000.
The candle stand at the front of the church will continue to be used. With safety in mind, children will only be permitted to light candles when accompanied by a parent.
We apologize to anyone inconvenienced by this change.
Adoration
We invite you to attend Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament at Holy Redeemer every Tuesday evening from 5:00 – 5:30 pm. Mass & Novena follow at 5:30 pm.

The Holy Redeemer CWL is holding its annual Book & Puzzle Sale this Saturday, September 19, from 9 am to 5 pm. They are still accepting donations of books and jigsaw puzzles until Thursday, September 17. Items may be left at the church each day until 1 pm.
