Father will address why there is suffering in the world and why that is a problem and he will explore what Jesus did to change the way we approach suffering. Father Thomas is a member of the Dominican Order. He is a native of Cleveland, Ohio and is a diehard Browns/Indians/Cavaliers fan. Father Thomas lived in Honduras and Guatemala on an extended service mission that piqued his interest in a religious vocation. He is currently an itinerant preacher in the Diocese of Columbus while living at St. Patrick’s Church. Following each night of the mission, there will be fellowship and refreshments in the Monsignor Funk Family Center.

Capital Campaign Accomplishments: • A New Latchkey building that is clean, safe and warm for all of our Students here at St. Pius X Church and School to use daily. • A New Youth Ministry Center that gives our treasured youth a place to gather, learn and live their Faith. • A Storage Area that saves the Church, School and all Ministries over $12,000.00 each year so they can spend these hard earned

funds in their programs and ministries.• Six additional meeting rooms for our Parish and Ministries. Having access to state of the art Audio Visual Systems to teach young

and old about our Faith in Jesus Christ. • A Commercial kitchen that can feed 300 with ease. Many events scheduled the next few months like Pasta Dinners, Fish Fries for

to run their Capital Campaign.

December 23, we announced our new goal for our “Continuing To Renew All Things In Christ” Capital Campaign. That goal of $4,064,672.00 left us with $449,617.00 to raise. In 9 weeks, we have received $130,122.00 toward this new goal or a balance of $319,496.00. We have also received over $2.5 million in cash for the Campaign. Thank you all very much for your continued generosity. Continued communications with Joe Neville from Guidance In Giving is always filled with praise and surprise at how well you all have supported our Capital Campaign. “So very generous” is what we continue to hear from Joe about our parishioners. He encourages all of us to stay on this wonderful path of ours. We hope by summer, if our parishioners continue this process of giving from the heart, WE WILL start on the expansion of our Narthex.

Father Dave, John Beyer and the Campaign Staff are asking all of our parishioners and friends to do three things. First, please continue to pray for the success of our Capital Campaign. Second, please be generous with your continued pledges. And third, continue to be an Ambassador by becoming informed and involved, enthusiastically sharing this information with as many people as you can, and encouraging others to become involved, and invite others to attend our functions in the New Hall. Please take the time to respond to the mailing we sent to all registered families. We have heard from 697 of our 2,059 registered families for Phase I. We have heard from 410 families out of 2,054 families registered at St. Pius X for Phase II. If you have pledged toward Phase I, thank you. If you have pledged toward Phase II, thank you again. If you have not pledged, please prayerfully consider a sacrificial pledge for Phase II. If you are able to increase the length of time for your pledge, please respond via email to [email protected] or drop a note in the offertory. We have asked all of our parishioners to extend their pledges from 2 or 3 years to 5 or 8 or even 10 years. Many of you have listened and have done this. This is why we continue to make weekly strides. Please consider extending the years on your pledge.

If you ever notice any issue with your Capital Campaign billing statement or update letter, please give John Beyer a call at the Parish Office and these will be updated immediately.

Please continue your support of our Church and School by your prayers and offertory tithing during our Capital Campaign build. Please be thankful for all that we have here at St. Pius X Church and School.

FAST refers to the amount of food eaten. All Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 are to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. This means that only one full meal and two smaller meals are to be eaten on these two days. Solid foods between meals are to be avoided. ABSTINENCE means that all Catholics over 14 years of age are obligated to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all Fridays of Lent.

CRS Rice Bowl is sponsored by Catholic Relief Services, the official international humanitarian agency of the Catholic community in the United States. CRS is motivated by the example of Jesus Christ to assist poor and suffering people in more than 100 countries on the basis of need, without regard to race, religion or nationality.

“After the resurrection, when the disciples went forth in all directions, the Lord accompanied them. This is what happens as the result of true encounter.” – Pope Francis

Dear Families, During Lent our community will participate in CRS Rice Bowl, a faith-in-action program that invites us to encounter the needs of the world with the hope of the Resurrection.

We will reflect on how this encounter can be transformative. We will see how our Lenten prayers, fasting and almsgiving can respond to Pope Francis’s invitation to Share the Journey by supporting those worldwide who are forced to flee their homes to find safety or better opportunities.

As we prepare for this holy season, it is especially important to come together as a family and reflect on the crosses of hunger, poverty and war that our brothers and sisters forced to flee their homes carry. In so doing, we pledge to stand alongside these members of our human family, supporting them as the Gospel calls us to do. Please consider these suggestions in your family’s Lenten plan:

• Use your CRS Rice Bowl and Lenten Calendar daily to guide your prayer, fasting and almsgiving.

• Read the Stories of Hope and daily reflections to inspire your Lenten journey—and guide your Lenten almsgiving.

• Prepare simple, meatless meals on the Fridays of Lent to eat in solidarity with our brothers and sisters around the world.

• Visit crsricebowl.org to watch videos of the people and communities you support through your Lenten gifts to CRS Rice Bowl.

We will collect your CRS Rice Bowls at the end of Lent, so stay tuned to learn more. Thank you for participating in CRS Rice Bowl with your family. Sincerely, P.S. Did you know that CRS Rice Bowl has a web page specifically for families? Visit crsricebowl.org/families for activities that will help your family grow in our Catholic faith this Lenten season.

LENTEN DAY OF PRAYER AND REFLECTION: “What are You Doing for Lent?” is the title for a Lenten day of prayer and reflection being held on Saturday, March 9, from 9:00 a.m.-2:30 p.m. in the Monsignor Funk Family Center. Each year at the beginning of Lent, we hear the call to Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving. Our focus for the day will be on prayer. We will be introduced to three forms of prayer and be given the time to practice each of them. It will be a day of quiet and contemplation. Our leaders for the day will be Sister Joan Supel, OP, former Director of the RCIA program here at St. Pius, and Mary Reichley, former director of small faith communities at St. Paul’s Parish in Westerville. The day will include a boxed lunch. Cost for the day is $10.00. Checks made payable to St. Pius X. Registration is required. Please contact Leah Kelly at 614-866-2859 to register. Registration deadline is Sunday, March 3. Give yourself a gift this Lenten season and spend a day in prayer.

Bags that are ripped open cannot be used. These bags will be used to make tote bags that will be sold at the Craft Bazaar in November. The proceeds from the sale of the tote bags will be used towards various small projects around the church grounds.

WALKING WITH PURPOSE – Fearless and Free: So many women are wrestling through the reality that life isn’t easy, even when we are doing the right thing. Suffering can slam into us from left field, leaving us reeling. Fearless and Free, a study of the Book of Ephesians, provides a firm foundation to stand on no matter what life throws our way. Fearless and Free is the most personal and transformative study that Walking with Purpose has offered so far. The sessions for Fearless and Free will be starting on April 24 for the Wednesday evening group with a new start time of 6:30 p.m. and April 22 for the Monday morning group with a new end time of 11:30 a.m. This is a 6-week study; we will finish at the end of May. Each session will be held in Msgr. David R. Funk Parish Family Center. The cost of the book is $22.00. If you would like to attend this study, please contact Cyndi Williams at [email protected]. The deadline to register and pay for your book at the cost of $22.00 is March 13th. If books are ordered after that, the cost is to $26.00 to cover individual shipping and handling.

SAINT OF THE DAY FOR MARCH 8

Saint John of God (March 8, 1495-March 8, 1550)

Saint John of God’s Story:Having given up active Christian belief while a soldier, John was 40 before the depth of his sinfulness began to dawn on him. He decided to give the rest of his life to God’s service, and headed at once for Africa where he hoped to free captive Christians and, possibly, be martyred.He was soon advised that his desire for martyrdom was not spiritually well based, and returned to Spain and the relatively prosaic activity of a religious goods store. Yet he was still not settled. Moved initially by a sermon of Saint John of Avila, he one day engaged in a public beating of himself, begging mercy and wildly repenting for his past life.Committed to a mental hospital for these actions, John was visited by Saint John, who advised him to be more actively involved in tending to the needs of others rather than in enduring personal hardships. John gained peace of heart, and shortly after left the hospital to begin work among the poor.He established a house where he wisely tended to the needs of the sick poor, at first doing his own begging. But, excited by the saint’s great work and inspired by his devotion, many people began to back him up with money and provisions. Among them were the archbishop and marquis of Tarifa.Behind John’s outward acts of total concern and love for Christ’s sick poor was a deep interior prayer life which was reflected in his spirit of humility. These qualities attracted helpers who, 20 years after John’s death, formed the Brothers Hospitallers, now a worldwide religious order.John became ill after 10 years of service, but tried to disguise his ill health. He began to put the hospital’s administrative work into order and appointed a leader for his helpers. He died under the care of a spiritual friend and admirer, Lady Ana Ossorio.The utter humility of John of God, which led to a totally selfless dedication to others, is most impressive. Here is a man who realized his nothingness in the face of God. The Lord blessed him with the gifts of prudence, patience, courage, enthusiasm, and the ability to influence and inspire others. He saw that in his early life he had turned away from the Lord, and, moved to receive his mercy, John began his new commitment to love others in openness to God’s love.Saint John of God is the Patron Saint of: Booksellers; Firefighters; Heart Patients; Hospitals; Nurses; Printers; Sick
