Youth Nite October 21
How do we Know Jesus?
Can science prove that God doesn’t exist? Many prominent scientists seem to think so. But science can only prove things that they can see, hold and quantify. Science can’t prove love and science doesn’t have a way to quantify grace or forgiveness both of which can change a life. We will take 2 weeks and explore how God reveals God’s Self to humanity through the cosmic intersection of science AND faith!

The Hands of Christ Recognition
The Hands of Christ is a recognition program created by the Diocese of Rochester to assist parishes in affirming their high school seniors who have been the “Hands of Christ” in their church, home, school and community, sponsored by the Office of Evangelization and Catechesis. Recognized seniors are invited to receive a plaque from the Most Reverend Bishop Salvatore R. Matano at one of three special Recognition Ceremonies to be held in February 2019. This year St Pius X Church is honored to host one of these Recognition Ceremonies.
The Criteria to receive this very special recognition:
- Is currently a high school senior.
- Has consistently demonstrated a Christian attitude by word and example.
- Has been actively involved in the parish as well as their school or community.
- Has been a positive role model to their peers, younger children and adults.
- Is a practicing Roman Catholic in a parish in the Diocese of Rochester and attends Mass.

Special Youth Nite Hallow’een Meeting October 28 at Holy Ghost Cemetery & Nellis Center

While we’re at the cemetery we will have a skit that will help us think about the real meaning of the Gospel in our lives (death & resurrection, remember?).
Please dress warmly! Parents are needed & welcome walk with the group & are welcome to participate in the whole evening. Permission slips (below) are required unless your parents are present.
Parents - please email me if you'd like to join us!

Save the Date: Apple Pies for Veterans on Veterans Day!
The St Pius X youth are invited to come together at St Pius School on Veterans Day (Monday, Nov 12, 9-Noon) to make apple pies to give as a Thank You to a Veteran. Each teen will bring the ingredients for 1 pie and we’ll work together to make pies to thank Veterans for their service. Do you know a vet? You can take your pie home & give it to them. Don’t know a Vet? Help deliver pies to the VFW in Chili!
