HOW TO REACH US
Today we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King. It is a very new feast day having been instituted as a universal solemnity only in 1925. This feast day was instituted, in part, as a response to modernism, secularism and a general forgetfulness of God. Christ the King is not like an earthly king concerned with authority, power or the trappings of kingship. Christ the King has one concern and that is to share His life with us so that one day we can get to heaven. We adorn His images with crowns, scepters and orbs, which are the insignia of a King, but when we see these images or think of Him as king we can think of Him as king of our hearts, our spirits and really our entire lives. Modernism, secularism and forgetfulness of God can only lead to unhappiness and condemnation, but when Christ reigns in our lives there is joy, there is hope and there is love. Next week we begin Advent and the start of a new liturgical year, may Christ the King rule throughout this coming new year and fill us with the gifts that only He can give.

ADORATION & LITURGY
November 24, 2019 Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe “….giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light.” COLOSSIANS 1:12 God wants us to be happy! Instead of looking at the Ten Commandments as being restrictive and telling us what we can’t do, look at them as guides for living a joy-filled and peaceful life. Most of our problems arise when we put our own needs first or spend most of our time trying to acquire “things”. Try putting God first in all things instead. Ask Him how He wants you to use your gifts.
STEWARDSHIP
“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest? . . . “ You shall love the Lord, your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. . . . . The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Mt. 22:36-40
Ministry Minute
SPANISH PRAYER GROUP Our Spanish Prayer Group consists of Hispanic members of our community, meeting each Thursday evening for prayer, bible study and social time. This devoted group also hosts an annual retreat each Fall, and other events such as celebrations for Our Lady of Guadalupe (December) and the International Food Festival (to be held in February), an annual gathering where guests have an opportunity to enjoy tastes from around the world which helps raise funds for the annual Our Lady of Guadalupe. CONTACT: Luisa Becker Ph: 208-818-4743 Email: [email protected]
SOLEMNITY OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION (transferred to Monday, December 9th): This year, the Immaculate Conception falls on the Second Sunday of Advent so the observance of the feast is transferred to Monday, December 9th. The obligation to attend Mass is not transferred; however, the Solemnity will be observed and parishioners are encouraged to attend Mass. Mass here at Pope St. Pius X will be at 6pm on Monday, December 9th.
SAVE THE DATE—OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE FEAST & CELEBRATIONS: Thursday, December 12th. Mañanitas at 5am
(sung prayer and rosary); bilingual Mass at 6pm followed by dinner provided by the Hispanic community. More details to follow.
ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT is Thursdays from 9am-6pm. It is very helpful to know that you will be here for an hour so that we know Jesus is not left alone during these hours. Please sign up in the narthex.
CONGRATULATIONS to all Sacristans, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Lectors, Hospitality Ministers and Music Ministers commissioned this weekend at Mass. Special thanks to our leads who assist with training and coordination: Kathy Roberts (Lead Sacristan), Lita Burns (Lead EMHC), John Webb (Lead Lector), Tony Delio (Lead HM) and Carol Gass (Lead Music Minister). God bless each of you for embracing your role for liturgy and serving Christ in the Sacrifice of the Mass.
SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL FAMILY MINISTRY & CATECHESIS
CHRISTMAS GIVING 2019 During this joyful Holiday Season, you are wished wonderful blessings and much happiness. At this time of year; however, many families are struggling due to unemployment, medical issues, homelessness, grandparents raising grandchildren, and so much more. For many years, the kindness of our parishion-ers has given these families a reason to celebrate the holidays with food boxes and presents. Here is our plan for this year: GIFT DONATIONS The Giving Tree, which will be adorned with tags beginning
Wednesday, November 27, is in the narthex. Please take a tag (or two) home with you and purchase a
gift(s) and/or a gift card(s). NEW THIS YEAR, each tag will feature a specific family number and will describe the “wish list” of an individual in that particular family.
Return the UNWRAPPED, bagged gift to Carol’s Barrow in the Narthex. It is very important that the GIFT BE
LABELED WITH THE TAG taken off the tree. The DEADLINE DATE for all gifts is Wednesday, December
18, 2019. MONETARY DONATIONS Monetary donations are appreciated to cover the cost of
non-perishable items that will be purchased through Super 1 and placed in the food boxes.
Each receiving family will also be given a $20 gift certificate from Super 1 to purchase perishable items. It would be wonderful if you would consider purchasing a Super I SCRIP, or give a cash or check donation. All contributions are greatly appreciated!
Please put your donations in a “CHRISTMAS BASKETS” ENVELOPE, located by the tree in the narthex, and place it in the collection basket at Mass or bring it into the church office.
DELIVERY DAY – SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 9:00 A.M. Many people are needed to deliver food boxes and
presents to families in Coeur d’Alene, Hayden, Rathdrum and Post Falls.
If you are available to assist on Saturday in delivering food boxes and presents, please contact Kathy Goodwin at 208- 818-1546 or sign up via the parish homepage at www.stpiuscda.org.
May simple joys of the holidays and the wonderful tradition of the season warm your heart, fill your home, and last the New Year through. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!!
There will be NO elementary catechesis classes, middle school or high school youth group this week. We pray everyone has a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving.
CHRISTMAS TREE SALES will begin Friday, December 6th in the old Lyle’s parking lot on Best Ave, just 2 blocks south of St. Pius X! This is a wonderful opportunity to raise money for our youth group. We need lots of help from the youth, families, and the community selling and buying trees. Please consider signing up to help sell Christmas trees. Simply text TREES to 84576 and a link will be sent to you to choose a time slot that works well for your family to come and help.
