Shrine of St.Padre Pio Catholic Church

To the parish family of st. Padre Pio
We have received a memo from Bishop Gary Janak, auxiliary bishop, requesting that we take up a second collection for the people of Haiti as they have suffered another devastating blow within the past few years. They are just recovering from he first devastation, and now they are faced with another.
This is not a mandated collection, as it is left up to the pastors to make a decision.  I feel our pastors will participated in this opportunity to be of prayerful and financial support to help these people ‘rebuild’ their community.
We will take up this collection on the weekend of, September 11 and 12.  Since this coming weekend is Labor Day weekend, many will be out of town as this this the last real break until Thanksgiving.
We will post this on Give Central for those who have chosen this method of donating to the parish and its special collections.
I thank you for your kind consideration in helping our sisters and brother in Haiti.

A la familia parroquial de San Padre Pio
Hemos recibido un memorando del obispo auxiliar Gary Janak, solicitando que hagamos una segunda colecta para el pueblo de Haití, ya que ha sufrido otro golpe devastador en el reciente terremoto. Se perdieron muchas vidas y las propiedades quedaron totalmente destruidas. Este es el segundo golpe devastador en los últimos años. Recién se estaban recuperando de la primera devastación y ahora se enfrentan a otra.
Esta no es una colecta obligatoria, ya que los párrocos tomarán la decisión. Creo que los párrocos participarán en esta oportunidad de brindar apoyo financiero y de oración para ayudar a estas personas a "reconstruir" su comunidad.
Tendremos esta colecta el fin de semana del 11 y 12 de septiembre, ya que el próximo es el fin de semana del Día del Trabajo, y muchos estarán fuera de la ciudad, pues es el último receso antes del Día de Acción de Gracias.
Publicaremos esto en Give Central para aquellos que han elegido este método de donación a la parroquia y sus colectas especiales.
Les agradezco su amable consideración al ayudar a nuestros hermanos en Haití.

From the desk of Judy Ortiz, DRE
Welcome to CEP at the Shrine of St. Padre Pio Catholic Church. Thank you for registering your children and teens for their faith formation sessions to begin in September! We have an exciting year planned and can’t wait to see you.
This year our CEP schedule for Kinder through fifth grade has changed. Our new hours are Wednesdays from 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm, beginning on September 15^th. There will be no second session offered this year as our classes are smaller.
CEP second and third grade are sacramental preparation years. Maintaining a good attendance is a requirement for the reception of sacraments.
COVID protocols will be as followed:

• We highly recommend facemask, but it is not mandatory at this time
• Your child’s temperature will be taken at the door
• Hands will be sanitized coming in and leaving the building
• All classrooms and furniture will be sanitized before and after use.

Please do not send your children to CEP if someone is ill in your home or your child is showing symptoms of illness. Call us and let us know. Help us to keep everyone safe and healthy.
 If you have special needs child and you have not contacted me, please call me or email me. Everyone is valued!
