From the Pastor’s Desk
As I take inventory of my last three years at St. Pio Parish, I am thankful for so many things, but the spirit of vol-unteerism at St. Pio,is one that I thank God continuously for. Volunteerism at St. Pio cannot be matched by many. You, the parishioners, are always available to give the most precious items you will ever own - YOUR TIME AND TALENT! This years Fun Festival was an example of volunteerism in overdrive. Thank you to the 130 plus volun-teers who gave so much and to those who came to the festival and supported the Parish. To the chairpersons, Julie and Bill Grill, Karen and Dean Hilbert, and Kevin and Theresa Switan-owski, the glue that kept us together for so many months. Last but not least, to my leadership team, your ongo-ing support and hard work did not go unnoticed - thank you, thank you! Our combined efforts raised $25,787.20 for our Parish. Thank you for a job well done. You are always in my prayers; your devotion to St. Pio Parish gives me peace.
Your Shepherd,
Fr. Greg

Faith Formation & Youth Ministry News
School has begun for our
Students and we are ready
to get them started in Faith
Formation as well! We
begin with our
"Welcoming Mass" this Monday,
September 18 at 4:30 p.m. for all K-8th
grade students. Please meet in Church
and sit by your assigned class. Pews will
be marked by grade level. Parents are
welcome to join us at this Liturgy! After
the Liturgy, Teachers and Students will
be announced and will proceed to their
classrooms for a "Meet and Greet".
Parents can follow their children to the
classroom and leave with their child at
the 5:45 dismissal time. Since
classrooms are shared, Middle School
Ministry will meet in the Conference
Room on that day only.
As we begin a new year in Faith
Formation, I would like to recognize all
our hard-working Catechists who share
their faith and provide encounters with
Christ to energize our young people and
make them aware of God's Love for
each of them.
K-6 Catechists: Cathy Martin
(Kindergarten), Judy Moskwa & Cheryl
Wilson (1st Grade), Mark Buffa & Barb
Houbeck (2nd Grade), Char Van Marcke
(3rd Grade), Judy Lentine (4th Grade),

(5th Grade) and Dolphine Van Marcke
(6th Grade).

It is September and exciting
new adventures are happen-
ing at St. Pio. We have two
young women who are now
Enquirers in the RCIA Program. Their
names are Dolly Palmer and Chloe Peek.
Please pray for these two women who are
following the call of the Holy Spirit in
their lives.
I call them Enquirers because that is the
first step in the process of becoming a
Catholic for adults. They are learning,
praying and discerning if this is the path
that their lives are meant to take. The
RCIA Team is blessed to be sharing our
faith with them and teaching them about
the Catholic Church. They are also exam-
ining their relationship with Jesus, hop-
ing to grow in mind, spirit and action as
they walk this journey of faith.
Our sessions with Dolly and Chloe are
based on the Sunday Gospels and topics
such as faith, Prayer, the Bible, traditions
in the Catholic Church, Sacraments,
Commandments, Beatitudes, Sunday
Liturgy and other Rites of the Catholic
Church. There are many more topics that
will be covered throughout the process
and I will touch on some of them in later
articles.
Speaking of Faith, how is your faith
growing at this time? No matter how old
we get, our Faith doesn't stay the same.
We are always going through transfor-
mations in our lives that affect our
Faith...hopefully for the best. Father Greg
reminds us of this often. We need to have
open minds and hearts to accept what is
and what will be with a Faith in God that
will not waver. Faith is believing that
God is with us even in the worst of times
and that Jesus walks with us and carries
us when we are at our weakest. The Holy
Spirit guides us in our decisions and our
actions. If we stay faithful to God's
teaching, we will come through and live
lives of joy and peace.
We are hoping to have more partici-
pants in the RCIA Program. If you or a
relative or friend are interested in joining
the Catholic Church, please give me a
call or call the St. Pio office and they will
give me your information so I can call
you.
May you be blessed in the peace of the
Spirit, Ellen Olivier, RCIA Coordinator

Prayer to St. Michael
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares
of the devil. May God rebuke him,
we humbly pray; and do You,
O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God, cast into Hell, Satan and
all evil spirits, who roam throughout the
world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
Pray to St. Michael for protection against the power of evil, and to bring us closer to God.
