Prayer to St. Michael
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares
of the devil. May God rebuke him,
we humbly pray; and do You,
O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God, cast into Hell, Satan and
all evil spirits, who roam throughout the
world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
Pray to St. Michael for protection against the power of evil, and to bring us closer to God.

Last month I was invited to
attend a seminar on
“Realities of Arab Ameri-
cans”. It was an enlighten-
ing afternoon with guest speakers who
introduced us to the rich cultures that
many Arab nations share. I felt it was
important for me to attend as outreach
director for the St Pio Baby Closet, and
to seek a better understanding of people
that we serve. In just the past six months
165 of the 229 families who have come
to visit our Baby Close have been of
Chaldean, Arabic, Assyrian or Coptic
heritage.
We also learned of the plight of the
asylee and refugees who have come to
America to begin a new life. The vetting
process to come to the U. S. is long and
arduous; it can take several interviews
and years to complete. So many refu-
gees once here are left struggling with
challenges of cultural barriers, post trau-
matic stress disorder, securing housing,
finding jobs, seeking schools for their
children, transportation and all while not
understanding the English language and
battling with racism and discrimination.
I felt very blessed to have been able to
attend this seminar and gain a new
knowledge of the people who are seek-
ing to call the United States, “home”.
Please keep the families that seek help
at St Pio’s in your daily prayers.
Compassion
is a deep awareness of and
sympathy for another’s
suffering.
News From the Christian Service Office
RCIA News
I hope all of you have had a
wonderful, faith-filled sum-
mer. We are very excited to continue our
work of preparing adults to be received
into the Catholic Church.
Our team consists of Sr. Barbara Zim-
mer IHM, Vera Lottholtz and Brigitte
Linzenmann who have been involved
with the program at St. Pio for the last 3
years. Each of them brings their special
talents, love, experiences and dedication
to the process of the RCIA. My name is
Ellen Olivier and I am the director of the
RCIA program. This is my 16th year of
preparing RCIA participants to become
members of the Catholic Church. All of
us on the team feel that each new group
we interact with becomes a family as we
learn about each other, share our faith
experiences and grow in our love and
relationships with Jesus.
We currently have 2 new participants
who are very excited to begin their new
lives in the community of St. Pio of
Pietrelcina. They have been through the
interview process and are anxious to con-
tinue their journey. We are always happy
to accept new participants into the pro-
gram, so if you have been thinking about
becoming a member of the Catholic
Church, please don't hesitate to call me
with any questions you may have.
The program will formally begin on
September 10, but we will be meeting
this month to get to know each other,
where we will meet and what to expect
during the process. Each month I will be
writing articles to update the parish on
our participants and what we are sharing
in our sessions.
Please pray for our participants and
team members as we continue our
journey.
Yours in Christ,
Ellen Olivier
