Advent Collections 2021 - Card Sunday, Gift Sunday & Food Sunday

11/8/2021

 
Card Sunday
November 27th & 28th

Spread some Christmas cheer to our homebound parishioners by writing or making Christmas cards for them!  Cards can be returned to the back of church or the parish office by Sunday, November 28th. 

Gift Sunday
December 4th & 5th

Gift Sunday is a long-standing (40+ years) tradition at St. Pius X. It helps to meet needs within our community.
 
Please do not wrap the gifts; if boxed, label with the item, size and age group, and indicate the designated agency  (i.e. boy/girl 6+ years, 4T boy blue shirt and pants, woman’s med black gloves).  Place your gifts in the labeled boxes in the back of church, or drop them off at the parish office by Sunday, December 5th.
 
Gift cards are strongly encouraged and may be purchased through St. Pius X’s Scrip program, placed in an envelope(s) and labeled with the agency name. There will be a box for gift cards in the back of church (only on the weekend of December 4th & 5th) and at the parish office (drop off anytime through December 3rd). 
Gift Card order forms are available at the parish office, in the back of church and at this link.
