Priesthood "Let us pray for all good and faithful priests who dedicate themselves to their people with generosity and unknown sacrifices." -- Pope Francis Sacraments Priesthood In the Catechism of the Catholic Church it states: “No one claims this office for himself; he is called to it by God. Anyone who thinks he recognizes the signs of God’s call to the ordained ministry must humbly submit his desire to the authority of the Church, who has the responsibility and right to call someone to receive orders” (CCC, 440). If you hear the call of God feel free to speak with our Pastor at the parish office or after Mass, or contact the Vicar for Vocations & Young Adults at the Diocese of Calgary, Fr Cristino Bouvette Let’s Pray For Them 2021 Seminarians We ask that you continue to pray for our Seminarians and for the increase of vocations in our Diocese. Here is a short prayer from Fr. Cristino: Lord Jesus Christ, eternal High Priest, lead our seminarians daily in your footsteps, that they may become priests aflame with love for God and all. Amen. St. Joseph, pray for us.

GIVING Your Generosity Matters Donation Envelopes In this traditional method of donating to the church, you can pick up a box of donation envelopes each dated for all the Sundays and Special Collections of the Catholic Church for the entire year.

If you would like BOXED Donation Envelopes please contact the office to make this request. Visitor Envelopes (Pink) Use a (pink) Visitor Envelope or (white) ‘God loves a Cheerful Giver’ envelope: These are available year round in the vestibule of the church or in the pew boxes.

Sacraments Marriage Preparation Course At St. Pius X we offer Marriage Preparation that follows the Diocesan “For Better & For Ever” workbook. The course involves a series of five meetings, usually about 1.5 hours each, between one engaged couple and one sponsor couple. The meetings take place at a mutually agreed upon time typically at the home of the sponsor couple and are usually spread out one meeting every couple weeks, but this can get tailored to the needs of the engaged couple. “For Better & For Ever” is our Diocesan marriage program. It gives engaged couples an opportunity to discuss some of the issues that are key to a successful marriage! For more information about the this program, please email Paul & Michelle or phone them at (403) 808-8275.
