We rejoice in our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV! The St. Pius X community also rejoices in our continued love for others and care for our environment just at Pope Francis encouraged us to do.
• A group is gathering on Wednesday, May 14 at 4 pm to do maintenance in the St. Francis Garden at SPX. Please join us!
• The Giving Garden that was previously at SPX has been relocated to Immaculate Heart of Mary.
• Our Daily Bread casseroles continue to be made and delivered by SPX parishioners on the first Wednesday of the month.
• Caritas Dei Intercessory Prayer Circle continues to pray remotely for parishioner intentions.
• The Circle of Wisdom group continues to meet on Sunday mornings to read and reflect on the daily and Sunday readings.
What an amazing community that continues to serve to Lord. It brings me great joy to greet one another with warm hugs as we worship in new churches!

A Chicago-born Augustinian friar has been elected the first American pope in the history of the Roman Catholic church.

Cardinal Robert Prevost, 69, who heads the influential Vatican Dicastery for Bishops, walked out onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica to the cheers of thousands of faithful gathering for the announcement at 7:15 p.m. Rome time.

Prevost, born in south Chicago, has spent most of his life outside of the United States, a factor likely to have made him more acceptable to the College of Cardinals in his selection.

By selecting an American, the cardinals have defied conventional wisdom that a man from the United States would never ascend the throne of St. Peter as long as the U.S. was a superpower.

HABEMUS PAPAM!

We have a new Church leader!
Where were you when you found out we have a new Pope?

As we remember Christ's sacrifice, may we also find comfort in the promise of new life and eternal hope.

Blessings to all! The freezer at St. Pius X is still available for the Our Daily Bread casseroles due this coming Wednesday morning, 2/5. Thanks to all who continue to make, transport, and serve the casseroles.
