TO OUR GUESTS OF ST. PIUS X
We hope that God will grant you peace and
rest while you are under our roof today.
May this church be your “second home”.
May those you love be near you in
thought and prayer.
Even though we may not get to know you,
We pray that you will be comfortable and happy
as if you were in your own church home.
May whatever need brought you our
way find a hearing God.
When you leave, may your journey be safe.
We pray you feel God’s peace
