Marriage "Marriage is an act of will that signifies and involves a mutual gift, which unites the spouses and binds them to their eventual souls, with whom they make up a sole family - a domestic church" -- John Paul II Sacraments Marriage The union of a man and woman in Christian Marriage is a sign of God’s union with the People of God. Therefore, it requires of those who enter it a complete and unreserved giving of self. Christ also referred to the love of Marriage to describe his own love for his bride, the Church. This love is lifelong, fruitful and completely faithful. The desire to live one’s faith must be as important as the desire to live with one’s spouse; the relationship to God is intimate and demands self-giving in the same way that your relationship with your spouse demands intimacy and self-giving. The Sacrament of Marriage is an important event for the Catholic Church as well. Married couples who are committed to a generous, faithful and life-giving love are one of the clearest and best signs of the love of God. Engaged couples are kindly asked to directly contact our Priest or Deacon to book the date and time for your initial interview. A minimum of four months’ notice is required to allow time for pre-marriage sessions, planning for the wedding liturgy and a marriage preparation course. Please select from the following forms and documents to prepare for your marriage and wedding. Calgary Diocese Freedom to Marry Forms Bride and Groom ( 2A and 2B ) Rite of Marriage outside of the Mass First Readings for Weddings Second Readings For Weddings Gospel Readings for Weddings Responsorial Psalm for Weddings Weddings: Prayers of the Faithful Marriage Preparation Course Any married couples interested in becoming sponsors for engaged couples are invited to fill out the marriage preparation course or contact the parish office.

Manna Ministry Service and Outreach Manna Ministry What is Manna Ministry It’s a vital and special Ministry of St. Pius X Parish whose MISSION is TO CONTINUE TO FEED “GOD’S CHOSEN”, NAMELY, THE NEEDY . It’s a parish project in which parishioners get involved by the hundreds. They are excited and ready to serve and share with the needy! They prepare and serve food for the homeless; they make sandwiches the first weekend of each month for the needy; they contribute necessary items to the Calgary Urban Project Society (CUPS) the last two (2) weekends of January; How did this come about? Read on! History St. Pius X Manna Ministry Committee was established in 1997. It was an “offshoot” of the “Feed the Hungry” Committee (1995) with a goal to serve more needy people each year rather than the one meal per year at St. Mary’s Cathedral. MANNA is the biblical term referring to the feeding of God’s chosen people in the desert; our MINISTRY is to continue to feed God’s chosen people, namely, the needy. Our goal is to involve as many parishioners as possible in sharing their food and time to such community agencies as: Mustard Seed Ministry, Calgary Drop-in Centre, Avenue 15, as well as contributing to the Calgary Urban Project Society. Presently, the Manna Ministry Committee has Nine members who meet approximately three (3) times a year in September, January and June. If you wish to know more about this Ministry and/or how you can participate, please contact Kathy. manna.ministry@stpiusx.ca Get Involved!

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.

Anointing Of The Sick "We are all sinners. But God heals us with an abundance of grace, mercy and tenderness" -- Pope Francis Sacraments Anointing Of The Sick The Cathechism of the Catholic Church (1499) states that “By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them. And indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ.” The Anointing of the Sick is meant not just for those dying, but before major surgery, and in a time of physical or mental distress. To arrange for the Anointing of the Sick please contact the parish office .
