As you can see above, our young people are planning a conference trip to Indianapolis this coming November with the theme of “Called”. We are hoping to raise funds to assist the families for this national, biennial event. The families are working together on a fund-raiser—“Take Stock in Our Youth”. We will be collecting after Mass soon. After our time at NCYC, the young people will host an evening of Dessert—“Responding to the Call” on Friday, December 8th after the Solemnity Mass for the Immaculate Conception. During this gathering, we will enjoy lovely desserts while the young people share the sights and sounds of how their lives were touched by God’s Call to them during the conference. Thank you for ministering to our families through this fundraising opportunity. We look forward to seeing you in August, then spending time together in December!

SOCIAL ACTION MINISTRY The St. Mary’s poor box for the month of August will be donated to Green House Residences at Stadium Place. The Green House Residences serve older adults (62+) who are in need of short-term rehabilitation or long term care. This project is operated in partnership with Catholic Charities. For more information, go to www.gedco.org. The SPX poor box for the month of August will be donated to Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, in honor of Rene Gunning. Rene Gunning who passed away a number of years ago in August, had been a parishioner at St. Pius X since its establishment over 50 years ago. He
served on the parish’s Social Justice Committee and was very active in community outreach. Mr. Gunning was an active supporter of Cristo Rey.
This is a way we can honor the memory of a gentleman who was an inspiration to so many of us at SPX. Cristo Rey Jesuit is a Catholic, co-educational, college preparatory school, empowering students to succeed in college, work, and life. The school embraces low-income families of religious, racial, and ethnic diversity. For more information, go to www.cristoreybalt.org. Van Outreach to the Homeless Volunteers meet on the last Saturday of each month at 4:30pm in the St Mary’s parking lot next to the garages. Consider making a monthly or bimonthly commitment to assist in this effort by contributing sandwiches, soft fruit, individually packaged cookies, or fruit drinks. Help with assembling food bags is also appreciated. Food contributions may be left at the rectory before noon or between 3:30pm-4:15pm on the day of the outreach.
Social Action Ministry will be collecting five different wish list items each quarter to be donated to Our Daily Bread. There are bins in the vestibules in which you may place the following donations:
FOOD PANTRY ALERT! GEDCO's CARES Food Pantry is currently running low on the following items: soup, tuna, canned meat, and mac and cheese.
New Request: CARES would like Rice and canned peaches too!We are hoping that you may be able to help mitigate this situation. Any donation, large or small, would be greatly appreciated. Items may be delivered to 5502 York Road, Baltimore, MD 21212 behind St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church. For questions, you may reply to this email or you may also contact Rachael Neill, GEDCO's Director of Community Services, at 410-532-7117 or [email protected].
The Social Action Ministry of St. Pius X is collecting school supplies for the children in Head Start at St. Jeromes. Suggestions: crayons, colored markers, Elmer's glue, pencils, notebooks, pencil cases, children's blunt scissors. There will be a designated basket in the side vestibule of St. Pius X. Thanks for your help.
Worldwide Marriage Encounter
“After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound. When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave.” Help each other hear God’s plan for our marriage better by participating in a Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend. The next weekend is on October 27-29, 2017 in Gaithersburg, MD. For more information and to apply online visit: welovematrimony.org, or call 301-541-7007, or email [email protected].
Prayer Walks In response to the seemingly unending violence that has been engulfing our city, different
neighborhoods along York Road have organized Prayer Walks. They invite everyone to join them in this ecumenical effort to pray for peace and an end to the violence. The Woodbourne-McCabe Prayer Walk is every 2nd Friday of the month, meeting at 6:00 pm at the Crown gas station (5101 York Road, across from McDonald’s). The next Walk will be Friday August 11. The Old York Road Prayer Walk is every 3rd Friday of the month, meeting at Old York Road and 39th St in front of the Ellerslie Apts. Wear comfortable shoes, and bring some water!
St. Mary’s is offering a little Rock Scripture Study on the Call of Jeremiah. An extraordinary leader, Jeremiah spoke on God’s behalf using words & significant actions to condemn rampant idolatry in Judah. His prophetic ministry was misconceived & his resulting arrest was the source of personal heartbreak for this profit who revealed a new covenant written on the hearts of God’s people. The study group is 11 weeks, beginning Wednesday, 9/6& concludes on Wednesday 11/15. Meet in St. Mary’s Assumption Room Wednesdays @ 7 pm. Registration is $20 for materials. Contact Dianne McHale ([email protected]) for more information.

Epiphany House Continuing Needs
As many of you know, the elevator at GEDCO's Epiphany House program has been out of order for over a month now. Unfortunately it looks as though the elevator will remain out of order for at least another few weeks so we are still seeking volunteers to help out in 2 hour shifts during the hours of 10am-4pm. There are residents who have needs that include help moving up and down the steps, distributing food, assistance with laundry, picking up mail, taking out trash, errands (picking up medicine or a trip to library), etc. We are also continuing to seek the assistance of out-side groups who may be able to provide meals on weekends for 19 individuals (7 of whom should refrain from eating anything w/ a lot of sodium or sugar). To alleviate some of the burden on our Epiphany residents in the upcoming weeks, we are trying to eliminate the need for these residents (many of whom are disabled) to be going up and down the stairs, making trips to the store, and cooking, especially with the hot, summer conditions. If you can volunteer and/or provide meals for these men and women in need, please contact Valerie Walker at 410-464-0935 for the volunteer slot and/or the meal date and type (lunch or dinner) for which you would like to donate. A GEDCO staff member will contact you in order to coordinate your participation.
