FROM THE PASTOR, FR. ANTHONY MENDOZA
St. Pope Pius X—A Humble Man Who Lived To Renew All Things in Christ! Joseph Sarto, born the son of a poor mail carrier in Venice in 1835, did not seem destined for greatness. He became a priest at the young age of 23, but after ordination he felt gaps in his learning, so he continued to carefully study theology. As a busy parish priest, he became known for his generosity to the poor and the sick, for the great devotion with which he celebrated the liturgy, and for strongly promoting adult religious education. At the age of 49 he was named the Bishop of Mantua, in Italy. Even though he was extremely busy, he put a lot of time and energy into his seminary, even teaching classes there himself for many years. 19 years later he was elected pope, taking the name Pius X. Being a humble man, he felt very much out of place with the pomp of the papacy. “Look how they have dressed me up!” he said in tears once to a friend. Pope Pius X took as his motto “To restore all things in Christ” (Ephesians 1:10). Faced with growing secularism which was leading many people away from God, Pope Pius strongly promoted the frequent reception of Holy Communion, which was not practiced at that time. He even worked hard to permit little children to receive Holy Communion soon after they reached the age of discretion (which is normally considered to be the age of 7 years). He was also a strong promoter of devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, especially through the daily praying of the Holy Rosary. He said, “If you want peace to reign in your homes, recite the family Rosary.” Pope Pius X strongly opposed an attitude that was called “Modernism.” This did NOT mean that he was opposed to everything modern! The error he saw in “Modernism” was the tendency to believe that truth was not absolute but relative, that what was considered true had to adapt itself to the needs of modern people. This attitude is still present in our time! The Pope saw “Modernism” as denying there were any unchangeable truths, thereby denying the eternal revelation of God to humankind. Pope Pius X issued very clear denunciations of “Modernism” in order to safeguard the faithful from those errors. During his pontificate, he faced leaders of powerful nations who demanded to have some control over the Catholic Church, sometimes offering him bribes, sometimes threatening him. He courageously resisted them, protecting the autonomy of the Church.
The Pope believed that true disciples of Jesus needed to deepen their understanding of the Sacred Scriptures. So he established in Rome the Pontifical Biblical Institute, as a center for advanced Biblical studies. That Institute continues to be highly influential today. Pope Pius X had a short papacy of 11 years, which ended at the beginning of World War I, but he did much to restore all things in Christ. He is a great example to us, that our own humble beginnings should not discourage us from letting God do great things through us! The feast day of Pope Pius X is August 21. St. Pius X, pray for us!

LIFETEEN Virtuous Reality Retreat
This LIFE TEEN Retreat, VIRTUOUS REALITY is for Graduates and Seniors ONLY and is based on the four cardinal virtues of the Catholic Church. Retreat will take place on Sunday, August 18th from 10am - 7pm.
The retreat is geared specifically to spend time in gender specific groups of young men and young women embarking on a new phase of life as newly graduates and incoming seniors. This one-day retreat is meant to instruct the young women and young men on how to live their lives as women and men of God with the help of the divine grace
that comes through living the cardinal virtues. This retreat offers separate portions of the retreat to encourage the young men and
young women an opportunity to learn about their faith and their bond as brothers in Christ and sisters in Christ.
In addition, it will serve to strengthen their commitment to living the cardinal virtues and their commitment to the Christ, His Church and to one another. At its most fundamental level, a virtue is a habitual and
firm disposition to do good. “The goal of a virtuous life is to become like God” (Saint Gregory of Nyssa). There are human virtues and theological
virtues. (CCC 1803, 1833) The human virtues are habitual and stable perfections of the intellect and will that govern our actions, order our
passions and guide our conduct according to reason and faith. They are acquired and strengthened by the repetition of morally good acts and
they are purified and elevated by divine grace. (CCC 1804, 1810, 1811,1834, 1839)

Del párroco, p. Anthony Mendoza
San Papa Pío X: ¡un hombre humilde que vivió para renovar todas las cosas en Cristo!
Joseph Sarto, hijo de un pobre cartero en Venecia en 1835, no parecía destinado a la grandeza. Se convirtió en sacerdote a la temprana edad de 23 años, pero después de la ordenación sintió lagunas en su aprendizaje, por lo que continuó estudiando cuidadosamen-te la teología. Como párroco ocupado, se hizo conocido por su generosidad hacia los pobres y los enfermos, por la gran devoción con la que celebró la liturgia y por promover fuertemente la educación religiosa de adultos. A los 49 años fue nombrado obispo de Mantua, en Italia. A pesar de que estaba
extremadamente ocupado, dedicó mucho tiempo y energía a su seminario, incluso impartió clases allí durante muchos años. 19 años después fue elegido Papa, tomando el nombre de Pío X. Siendo un hombre humilde, se sintió muy fuera de lugar con la pompa del papado. "¡Mira cómo me han vestido!", Dijo llorando una vez a un amigo. El Papa Pío X tomó como lema "Restaurar todas las cosas en Cristo" (Efesios 1:10). Frente al creciente secularismo que alejaba a muchas personas de Dios, el Papa Pío promovió fuertemente la recepción frecuente de la Sagrada Comunión, que no se practicaba en ese momento. Incluso trabajó duro para permitir que los niños pequeños recibieran la Sagrada Comunión poco después de que alcanzaran la edad de discreción (que normalmente se considera la edad de 7 años). También fue un gran promotor de la devoción a la Santísima Virgen María, especialmente a través de la oración diaria del Santo Rosario. Él dijo: "Si quieres que la paz reine en tus hogares, recita el Rosario familiar". El Papa Pío X se opuso firmemente a una actitud que se llamaba "Modernismo". ¡Esto NO significaba que se oponía a todo lo moderno! El error que vio en el "Modernismo" fue la tendencia a creer que la verdad no era absoluta sino relativa, que lo que se consideraba verdadero tenía que adaptarse a las necesidades de la gente moderna. ¡Esta actitud todavía está presente en nuestro tiempo! El Papa vio el "Modernismo" como negar que hubiera verdades inmutables, negando así la eterna revelación de Dios a la humanidad. El Papa Pío X emitió denuncias muy claras del "Modernismo" para salvaguardar a los fieles de esos errores. Durante su pontificado, se enfrentó a líderes de naciones poderosas que exigieron tener cierto control sobre la Iglesia Católica, a veces ofreciéndole sobornos y otras amenazándolo. Valientemente los resistió, protegiendo la autonomía de la Iglesia. El Papa creía que los verdaderos discípulos de Jesús debían profundizar su comprensión de las Sagradas Escrituras. Por eso estableció en Roma el Pontificio Instituto Bíblico, como centro de estudios bíblicos avanzados. Ese Instituto sigue siendo muy influyente hoy. El papa Pío X tuvo un papado corto de 11 años, que terminó al comienzo de la Primera Guerra Mundial, pero hizo mucho para restaurar todas las cosas en Cristo. ¡Él es un gran ejemplo para nosotros, que nuestros propios humildes comienzos no deberían desanimarnos de dejar que Dios haga grandes cosas a través de nosotros! La fiesta del Papa Pío X es el 21 de agosto. San Pío X, ¡ruega por nosotros!
