Observe what is right, do what is just; for my salvation is about to come, my justice, about to be revealed.
— Isaiah 56:1
This Monday, August 28, the Church will honor Saint Pius X. St. Pius was born into a humble family in Riese near Venice, Italy in 1835. His given name was Giuseppe Sarto, and no one would have guessed that this son of a postman and a seamstress would one day become Pope. But he felt the desire to be a priest from an early age, and he later struggled to attend the seminary. In those days, it was not always easy for boys from poor families because their parents were obliged to pay for their education. Once ordained, Giuseppe Sarto was so successful as a pastor that he quickly distinguished himself and rose in the Church. He was eventually consecrated Bishop of Mantua, which was then a very run-down diocese in Italy with financial problems and serious issues of morale. But he managed to successfully revive the diocese and put it in order economically. At the age of 58 Giuseppe Sarto was made Patriarch (Archbishop) of Venice, and soon after that he was offered the red hat of a Cardinal. On the death of Pope Leo XIII, a conclave was called to select a new pope. Despite the many good contenders at that time, on August 4, 1903, Giuseppe Sarto was elected to the Papacy. He took the name Pius X and his motto was “to renew all things in Christ.” Always known for his holiness and simplicity, Pope Pius was also very opinionated. On the negative side, he was quite intolerant of any dissent in the Church, and he strongly suppressed innovation and modernization in theology and Biblical studies. At the same time, Pius X – perhaps due to his many years of working among ordinary people -- had a great pastoral sense. He knew what people needed in order to bring them closer to Christ and to the Church. Pius X famously said that Catholics should not only pray at the Mass, but that they should pray the Mass itself. He really wanted Catholics to understand the liturgy, what was happening at Mass. As a result, he promoted the use of ‘hand missals’ or the personal missals that so many of us have today. These books, now available in fancy permanent editions or in paperback, allow us to follow the readings and the prayers of the Mass, and they greatly enhance our appreciation of the liturgy. During his papacy, Pope Pius X also officially lowered the age of reception of Holy Communion. Our present custom of receiving First Communion at around age 7 is due to his influence. He constantly encouraged the people to come frequently to the celebration of the Eucharist, and to receive the Sacrament daily if possible. In the last two years of his papacy, Pius X was involved in diplomacy, doing all he could to prevent the onslaught of World War I. He was deeply distressed when war was at last declared, and he died soon after in 1914. Not long after his death, a number of miracles were attributed to his intercession, and the cause for his canonization began immediately. He was canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1954, the first pope in 400 years to be declared a saint. Fr. Ulysses
Este lunes, el 28 de agosto, la Iglesia honrará a San Pío X. San Pío nació en una familia humilde en Riese cerca de Venecia, Italia en 1835. Su nombre dado era Giuseppe Sarto, y nadie habría adivinado que este hijo de un cartero y costurera se convertiría algún día en papa. Pero él sintió el deseo de ser sacerdote desde muy joven, y más tarde luchó por asistir al
seminario porque no tenían para pagar. Una vez ordenado, Giuseppe Sarto fue tan exitoso como pastor que rápidamente se distinguió y subió en la Iglesia. Eventualmente fue consagrado Obispo de Mantua, que era una diócesis muy deteriorada con problemas financieros y problemas de moral. Pero logró reavivar la diócesis y la puso en orden económicamente. A la edad de 58 años, Giuseppe Sarto fue nombrado Patriarca (Arzobispo) de Venecia, y poco después se le ofreció el sombrero rojo de un Cardenal. A la muerte del Papa León XIII, un cónclave fue llamado para seleccionar un nuevo papa. A
pesar de los muchos contendientes buenos en ese momento, el 4 de agosto de 1903, Giuseppe Sarto fue elegido al papado. Tomó el nombre de Pío X y su lema era "renovar todas las cosas en Cristo". Siempre conocido por su santidad y sencillez, el Papa Pío también tenía opiniones fuertes. El era intolerante de cualquier disidencia en la iglesia, y suprimió ideas modernas en teología y estudios bíblicos. Al mismo tiempo, Pío X - quizás debido a sus muchos años de trabajo entre la gente común - tuvo un gran sentido pastoral. Sabía lo que la gente necesitaba para acercarlos a Cristo y a la Iglesia. Pío X dijo que los católicos no sólo deben orar en la misa, sino que deben orar la misa misma. Realmente quería que los católicos comprendieran la liturgia, o lo que estaba sucediendo en la misa. Como resultado, promovió el uso de misales personales que muchos de nosotros tenemos hoy en día. Estos libros, ahora disponibles en lujosas ediciones permanentes o en rústica, nos permiten seguir las lecturas y las oraciones de la Misa, y aumentan mucho nuestra apreciación de la liturgia. Durante su papado, el papa Pío X también bajó oficialmente la edad de recepción de la Santa Comunión. Nuestra actual costumbre de recibir la Primera Comunión alrededor de los 7 años es debido a su influencia. Siempre animaba al pueblo a asistir frecuentemente a la celebración de la Eucaristía y a recibir el Sacramento diariamente si era posible. En los últimos dos años de su papado, Pío X participó en la diplomacia, haciendo todo lo que pudo para evitar la Primera Guerra Mundial. Estaba profundamente angustiado cuando la guerra por fin se declaró, y murió poco después en 1914. No mucho tiempo después de su muerte, un número de milagros fueron atribuidos a su intercesión, y la causa para su canonización comenzó inmediatamente. Fue canonizado por el Papa Pío XII en 1954, el primer papa en 400 años que era declarado santo. P. Ulises
Notes from the Pastor Notas del Párroco
Archdiocesan Annual Appeal 2017 Thank all of you who have contributed to the Archbishop Annual Appeal. Our parish assessment this year is $77,050. To date we have received $22,700.

Every year that I Have been at Mount Carmel, we have been fortunate to make our Annual Appel, at the last moment. As you can see from the above report, we are still quite far from our goal.
