Dear Parishioners,�
�
I told you that things would be getting busier as
the months moved along this Fall.�
�
First, a fond farewell and the deepest gratitude to
Fr. Fernando Reta, O.P., as he heads back to Ar-
gentina today. He has been a delight to have in
the Parish and I hope that he will be able to
come back next summer as well. He was recent-
ly elected Prior in the city of Mendoza so maybe
he can plan a return visit a little more easily. If
you would like to stay in touch with Fr. Fernan-
do or to express your own words of thanks, his �
email is:�
[email protected] and his new mailing
address is:�

Luke “Ray” Green: 75 years a Saint Pius Parishioner and
World War II Hero, Passes at 100 years of Age
Luke “Ray” Green, born in 1920, grew up on
Woonasquatucket Avenue in Centredale where
he went to grammar school. Like many kids at
the time, he went to work out of grammar school
in the mills, the Esmond Blanket Company in
Ray’s case, instead of going to high school. As
World War II in Europe began to heat up, Ray
joined the RI National Guard in 1940 and began
active service in the US Army on February 24,
1941.
Eventually Ray was assigned to the 43
rd
Signal Company,
part of the 43
rd
Infantry Division. The 43
rd
Signal Company was
made up of soldiers primarily from New England. The 43
rd
Signal
Company was shipped off to the South Pacific in October 1942 to
begin a long slog by the US Army and Navy to capture Japanese
controlled islands to eventually try and reach Japan.
Guadalcanal, the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, Luzon
Island in the Philippines—those places are familiar to anyone who
has read about our World War II fighting in the South Pacific. Pri-
vate and later Sergeant Ray Green was in all of those places and
participated in combat for 3 ½ years, never once even going on
leave.
As a member of the 43
rd
Signal Company, Ray was part of
a group of soldiers that ensured reliable communications for the
Command units that coordinated both Army and Navy forces in bat-
tles. Ray had to keep radios working, sometimes alone for weeks
away from his unit, and had to climb up mountains and through
swamps to lay phone lines, often during battles while avoiding Japa-
nese snipers and shelling from distant artillery units. Malaria,
snakes, sleeping in fox holes filled with water were all hazards of the
job. Ray was so reliable that when the 43
rd
reached the Philippines,
he was assigned to work by himself in the jungle with Philippine gue-
rilla units against the Japanese. Among his many Army medals, Ray
was awarded a Bronze Star for his service in the Philippines.
Ray felt blessed when he was safely back in the US in the
summer of 1945 just as the war ended. He met his future wife Helen
in a downtown Providence furniture store and she convinced him
that he would have to convert to Catholicism if he wanted to marry
her. Ray says with a straight face that when they went “parking”,
she brought along a catechism to prepare him for his conversion.
They married in 1946 and moved to Zella Street where he lived until
the pandemic and on his own since Helen died in 2015. For the last
two years he has lived in an assisted living facility in Westerly where
he died.
Ray owned and ran Green’s Auto Upholstery shop in War-
ren for 40 years before retiring. His two children, Kenneth and
Cathy, and several grandchildren have brought him happiness in his
later years. Ray has always been an avid outdoorsman enjoying his
many years with the Boy Scouts and enjoying canoeing—something
he did up until 98 years of age. At 75 he learned to ski! He and his
wife Helen enjoyed many social occasions at St. Pius and at parish
events at the Venus. Ray is survived by his son Kenneth and his
daughter Cathy and several grandchildren. His funeral Mass at St.
Pius took place on Friday, October 1, 2021, 5 weeks shy of his 101
st
birthday. May he rest in peace.
BABY BOTTLE BOOMERANG
After Mass on October 16 & 17, you will see
empty baby bottles at the church exits.
Please take a bottle home and fill it with your
spare coins (cash or checks) and return the
bottle to church next weekend or the weekend
after. Collection bins are located near each
exit. Your generosity helps the Right to Life
Services continue providing pregnancy
tests and ultrasounds throughout Rhode Island in their
Ancora Women’s Mobile Care Center, and helps stock
the shelves of their Maternity Hope Chest to serve
mothers who have courageously chosen LIFE but need
a helping hand caring for their precious little ones.�
