Who's your favorite saint? What can I find out about guardian
angels? How can the saints and angels help protect me and
make me a better person? With the Feast of the Holy Guardian
Angels on October 2 and All Saints Day November 1, the New
Evangelization Ministry will be featuring books, CDs, and
DVDs on angels and saints. Stop by OUR FREE, LENDING
LIBRARY TABLE before and after all the Masses the
weekend of October 10-11.
Members of the New Evangelization Ministry are sharing
their favorite angels and saints resources with the members of
our St. Pius X community. Materials can be checked out for a
month. If you found something from last's month’s table,
please plan to return it the weekend of October 11th OR ask to
renew it for another month. There is also a white cardboard
box in the back of church in which library materials can be
returned.
There is Life in the Womb
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was one of the best-loved and most
influential preachers of the 20th century and author of over 90
books. He reached nearly 30 million people through his weekly
program, Life is
Worth Living, and his
Cause for
Canonization was
officially opened in
2002. He explains the
Church's teaching on
life from a
philosophical and
historical perspective.
CD’s are available in
the Gathering Space
for $3.00 each.
Saint John Paul the Great: His Five Loves
In honor of the feast day of St. Pope John Paul II on October 22, the New Evangelization Ministry is
offering the book, “Saint John Paul the Great: His Five Loves” by Jason Evert for a suggested
donation of just $5.00 on the weekend of October 10-11 after Masses.
From Amazon (4.9/5.0 stars, 136 reviews):
“Discover the five great loves of St. John Paul II through remarkable unpublished stories on him from
bishops, priests, students, Swiss Guards, and others. Mining through a mountain of papal resources,
Jason Evert has uncovered these many gems, offering a treasure chest brimming with the jewels of the
saint’s life. After a brief overview of John Paul’s life, Evert explores in depth his five great loves:
Young People, Human Love, The Eucharist, Our Lady, The Cross. This work is intended to be
catechetical, inspiring, and evangelical.”

Stewardship of Treasure Appeal
This weekend, you heard John Walsh or Dave Poirier give witness to what the St. Pius X
Catholic Community means to his family and why he feels strongly about contributing financial
support to our parish family. We encourage all parishioners to spend time in prayer and
discussion reflecting on what the St. Pius X Catholic Community means to your own family as
well as how you demonstrate your support of our parish family by giving of your time, talent
and treasure.

parish will be participating in over the next few weeks. This informative brochure is intended to
communicate the financial needs of our parish and why we are having a dedicated focus on our parish Offertory.

Dear Sisters and Brothers of St. Pius X Parish Family:
Our 6th Annual Fall Fest was a successful and enjoyable event celebrating community life and fellowship.
I would like to express my gratitude to the Fall Fest Committee and the countless volunteers who served all of the faith

P.A.D.S. Volunteers Needed
Thank You!
Thanks to the dedication and hard work of over 100
volunteers who took time from their busy lives, we sold
tickets, prepared food, desserts and beverages, set up,
served and cleaned up for 500 guests at our Fall Fest
2015 Pig Roast Dinner.
P.A.D.S. (Public Action to Deliver Shelter) is back at
the site in Hinsdale. St. Pius X will provide for the
3rd Friday of the month from October 2014 through
April 2016. We are also responsible for Saturday
breakfast. This site is a family site with some
singles from the main Friday site. The kitchen is
small and clients stay in several rooms.
To assist in the upcoming months, St. Pius X needs
either 2-3 families or 1 group to provide and
serve dinner on the 3rd Friday and another 1 to 2
families or 1 group to provide and serve breakfast
the following morning.
WE NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE ON
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16 FOR DINNER AND

SÓLO UN AMOR CRISTIANO HACE POSIBLE UN
MATRIMONIO CRISTIANO
1.- Por vuestra terquedad dejó escrito Moisés este precepto.
Yo no sé si el divorcio es siempre cosa de terquedad de los
contrayentes; en la mayor parte de los casos supongo que
influirán muchas causas. Pero de lo que sí estoy seguro es que
para que un matrimonio cristiano siga viviéndose en cristiano
durante toda la vida hace falta mucha terquedad cristiana, -mucho
amor cristiano-. Si, según nos dicen las estadísticas, el número de
divorcios en nuestra sociedad iguala prácticamente al número de
matrimonios, tiene que ser por que el matrimonio para toda la
vida es algo muy difícil en la sociedad en la que nosotros vivimos
hoy. Pues bien, lo que a mí me interesa resaltar ahora es que sólo
un amor cristiano puede garantizar la estabilidad de un
matrimonio cristiano. Porque el amor cristiano –como Cristo ama
a su Iglesia- va mucho más allá de los amores o desamores
puramente físicos o psicológicos; el amor cristiano tiene, en su
entraña más profunda, mucho de gratuidad, es un amor que es
mucho más don que exigencia. Las dos caras del amor cristiano
son el amor y el perdón, y para que haya auténtico amor cristiano
tienen que estar vivas y practicantes estas dos caras.
3.- No está bien que el hombre esté solo; voy a hacerle alguien
como él que le ayude. En este texto del libro del Génesis, en el
que se dicen muchas cosas interesantes, se afirma con rotundidad
algo que podemos comprobar todos los días y en todos los países
del mundo: la atracción natural y poderosísima que existe entre el
hombre y la mujer. La media naranja siempre busca a la otra
media y en la historia de esta búsqueda está escrita la historia de
gran parte de la humanidad. Sin entrar ahora en temas
sociológicos, y políticos, que se relacionan, sin duda, con este
hecho, de este texto se puede deducir indudablemente la
necesaria hermandad y fraternidad que debe existir siempre entre
hombre y mujer. Dios no nos ha hecho distintos para que nos
peleemos, sino para que nos complementemos. Un hombre y una
mujer bien unidos pueden llegar más lejos que si actúan
separados o desunidos. También la Iglesia Católica debe tener en
cuenta esta realidad. Despreciar, o no tener suficientemente en
cuenta, el valor de la mujer en la Iglesia será siempre perjudicial
para la misma Iglesia. Ya lo dijo con mucha rotundidad la misma
santa Teresa de Jesús.
4.- Al que Dios había hecho poco inferior a los ángeles, a
Jesús, lo vemos ahora coronado de gloria y honor por su
pasión y muerte. En esta carta a los Hebreos se nos dice que la
pasión y muerte de Cristo fueron el camino necesario que Dios
Padre escogió para su Hijo. Esta pasión y muerte de Cristo fue
para bien de todos nosotros, pobres pecadores. Para llevarnos a la
gloria a todos nosotros, el Padre “juzgó conveniente consagrar
con sufrimientos al guía de nuestra salvación”. Pues, si el mismo
Cristo tuvo que sufrir y padecer antes de entrar en la gloria,
hagamos también nosotros del dolor y del sufrimiento materia y
camino de salvación.

En tiempos de Jesús los derechos de la mujer en el matrimonio, y ofrecen herramientas

así poder vivir exitosa y
la mujer dándole un libelo de repudio facilísimo de conseguir,
felizmente ésta, la más
cosa que no podía hacer la mujer. Jesús no cae en la trampa

derechos de la mujer con los derechos del hombre. Una vez más, de las relaciones.

Let’s Become Friends
FRIENDS OF THE RESURRECTION GET-TOGETHER
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2015, 9:00 -11:00 AM
ST. MARK CATHOLIC CHURCH, WHEATON, IL
If you are looking for more hope in your life and are impressed by the Resurrectionists who have
been ministering in your parish, then come to the next Friends of the Resurrection Get-Together on
Saturday, October 17 from 9:15 -11 am at St. Mark's Church in Wheaton.
Friends of the Resurrection is an informal group of parishioners from parishes staffed by the
Congregation of the Resurrection in the Joliet Diocese.
In the context of exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, we ask Our Lord to bless the ministry of Resurrectionists
throughout the world. We pray for the conversion of sinners and bring the needs of our families before the Lord.
Our speaker for this next session is the dynamic Rev. Dennis Sanders, C.R., a retreat master for many years and chaplain
to the Sisters of Divine Providence. Father Dennis' talk is entitled the “Easter Resurrectionists.”
After the talk and Bendiction, please join us at the parish for a light lunch. Father Andrew Lewandowski, C.R. and his
parishioners are our hosts.
There is no cost for this event and there is nothing to commit to -–yet. Our hope is that eventually we will form an
association of Friends of the Resurrection in the Joliet Diocese. Like the Oblates of St. Benedict or the lay Franciscans,
the “Friends” are part of the Congregation of the Resurrection.
Everyone is welcome including children and young adults. No reservations necessary. Please come!

We Stand Together in Support of Our Church!
In today’s world, the need for priests and other religious is
more apparent than ever. In an effort to help promote
vocations and provide financial support to those pursuing
religious vocations, our Illinois State Council is sponsoring a
statewide “VOCATION RAFFLE.” Every dollar that the State
Council collects from this raffle is used to support our
seminarians in some way. Monetary birthday, Christmas and
ordination gifts are sent to them with the appropriate greeting
card signed “Illinois State Council Knights of Columbus.”
Also, donations on your behalf are made to seminaries that our
seminarians attend. Money that the Council collects is used to
support our diocesan seminarians as well as to help fund our
many programs. Last year we supported 3 Seminarians at $500
each. Through November, Father Boecker Council #6090 will
be selling Vocation Raffle tickets to support our Seminarians
and help them financially on their road to priesthood. Please
help us by purchasing a ticket for $1.00 or a
book for $15.00. 1st place prize is $10,000.
Remember to pray for Vocations. Questions can
be directed to Chairman D. Thurman or
Grand Knight Dennis Jensen.
