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! Being part of one of the service groups at St Pius X means that you are also serving Christ and the Church! You are welcome to join our vibrant community!

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 .
