ADMINISTRATION
pastor’s note
ATTENTION INTEL EMPLOYEES!
IMPORTANT INTEL MATCHING
INFORMATION
Are You Spiritually Healthy?
Sometimes people will say, “I’ve
heard you speak three times and every
time you mention that ten minutes a
day idea!” I always ask them, “How
many days last week did you spend
ten minutes in quiet conversation with
God?” That gets them thinking. Then
they answer, usually vaguely and with some sort of
excuse attached. So, I’m going to keep talking about it
until we are all doing it every day!
Intel now matches donations up to $10,000 for each
active or retired blue badge employee per year: $5,000
for St. Pius X School, and another $5,000 to St. Pius X
Community Outreach. Your donations can be matched
two ways at intel.benevity.org:
1. You can make one-time or recurring donations with
a credit card, and these donations automatically
generate the Intel match.
2. You can upload receipts to request matching for
donations already made directly to our parish. Email
[email protected] if you’d like an extra
receipt to submit.
There are two reasons this theme keeps emerging in
my work. First, because this habit of prayer changed
my life. Second, because I know from personal
experience how hard it is to keep the habit going.
This is my biggest battle with resistance each day.
Resistance will fight me every time; it will never just
let me sit down and begin my prayer. It will try to
distract me and discourage me. It will do anything and
everything to prevent me from doing my prayer.
PARISH FACILITIES LEAD TESTING
In addition to the school lead testing that took place this
past summer, testing was completed for all other parish
buildings.
And if resistance cannot get me not to pray, it will get
me to delay, to put it off until later. Resistance knows
that delaying my prayer is as good as victory. Because
I will either rush it or do it poorly later, or I will delay
it further, putting it off at every opportunity all day
long, and then not do it at all. (Resisting Happiness, by
Matthew Kelly, pgs. 53-54)
All results are within normal and acceptable ranges. The
testing was provided by Apex Labs in Tigard, OR.

WORSHIP AND LITURGY
VOLUNTEER TRAINING
ADAPTED LITURGY
As we look forward to the upcoming program year, it
is time to think about the necessary training you need
to complete in order to volunteer in Faith Formation,
CYO, at school events, etc. Called To Protect training is
required for adults who will be volunteering with minors
four or more times per year. Please attend if you have
not completed this initial and in-person training before
you plan to volunteer.
You are invited on October 23 to the St. Pius X
Adapted Liturgy, a shorter Mass that celebrates the
lives and gifts of all people, including those with
physical and developmental disabilities and illnesses.
Every effort is made to accommodate the inclusion and
participation of each person. The church is accessible
for wheelchairs, and listening devices are available.
The Adapted Liturgy is offered the 4th Sunday of every
month at 2:45 pm at St. Pius X, 1280 NW Saltzman
Rd., Portland, OR; call (503) 644-5264 for more
information. Future dates are November 27, 2016,
and January 22, 2017. All are welcome to this joyful
gathering!
Even if you will not be volunteering, all parents, aunts,
uncles, grandparents or godparents are encouraged to
attend a session.
You’ll learn the following, plus more:
1. Facts and myths about child sexual abuse.
2. How offenders gain access to children.
3. Warning signs to look for in children, or adults.
WORLD MISSION SUNDAY
The Special Collection next weekend, October 22-23,
will be for World Missions. Every year the needs of the
Catholic Church in the Missions grow - as new dioceses
are formed, as new seminaries are opened because of
the growing number of young men hearing Christ’s
call to follow Him as priests, as areas devastated by
war or natural disaster are rebuilt, and as other areas,
long suppressed, are opening up to hear the message of
Christ and His Church. That is why the involvement
and commitment of Catholics from around the world
is so urgently needed. Offerings from Catholics in
the United States, on World Mission Sunday and
throughout the year, are combined with offerings to the
Propagation of the Faith worldwide. Mission dioceses
- about 1,100 at this time - receive regular annual
assistance from the funds collected.
A training session will be held in the St. Pius X Parish
Office Conference Room on the following dates:
•
•
•
•
•
Thursday, October 20, 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm.
Wednesday, October 26, 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm.

Thursday, November 3, 8:30 am - 10:30 am.

RSVP is required. Please register by contacting Cheryl
Hopkins, Training Administrator, at (503) 213-1449, or

issues of different moral weight and urgency. Some
issues they mention include: addressing abortion,
euthanasia, the use of the death penalty and imprudent
resort to war; protecting the fundamental understanding
of marriage as the life-long and faithful union of
one man and one woman; achieving comprehensive
immigration reform; caring for our common home;
helping families and children overcome poverty;
providing healthcare while respecting human life,
human dignity and religious freedom; and establishing

Prenatal testing has allowed more and more parents
to find out that their children have Down syndrome
before the babies are born. Unfortunately, 90% of
those parents choose to kill their children, simply
because they have an extra chromosome. 99% of
parents say they truly love their son or daughter with
Down syndrome; 88% of brothers and sisters say they
are better people because of their sibling with Down
syndrome. People with Down syndrome themselves
spoke up, too: 99% are happy with their lives, and 97%
like who they are. Check out http://liveactionnews.org/

Ministerio latino,

la Nota del Parroco
¿Esta espiritualmente saludable?
A veces la gente dice: “Lo he oído decir tres
veces y cada vez que se menciona la idea
de los diez minutos con Dios al días!” Y yo
siempre les pregunto: “¿Cuántos días de la
semana pasada pasaste diez minutos en una
conversación a solas con Dios?” Eso los
hace pensar a ellos. Entonces responden, por
lo general ningún día y me dan algún tipo
de excusa. Por lo tanto, voy a seguir hablando de esto hasta que
todos estamos haciendo todos los días!
Todos nosotros tenemos —o tendremos— momentos oscuros
en nuestra vida. También nosotros, los consagrados. Cuando
parece que las cosas no marchan bien, cuando hay dificultades
de convivencia en la comunidad, en la diócesis... En esos
momentos, lo que se debe hacer es pararse, hacer memoria.
Memoria del momento en el que he sido tocado o tocada por
el Espíritu Santo. Como él ha dicho, del momento en que dijo:
«Mamá, yo quiero hacer lo que hace ese señor»: el momento
en que el Espíritu Santo nos toca. La perseverancia en la
vocación radica en la memoria de aquella caricia que el Señor
nos ha hecho y con la que nos ha dicho: «Ven, vente conmigo».
Esto es lo que yo os aconsejo a todos vosotros, consagrados:
no os volváis atrás cuando hay dificultades. Y si queréis mirar
atrás, que sea a la memoria de aquel momento. El único. Así la
fe permanece firme, la vocación permanece firme. Con nuestras
debilidades, con nuestros pecados; todos somos pecadores y
todos tenemos necesidad de confesarnos, pero la misericordia y
el amor de Jesús son más grandes que nuestros pecados.
Ahora quisiera hablar de dos cosas que habéis dicho... Pero
[antes] dime: ¿Es tanto el frío que hace en Kazajistán en
invierno? ¿Sí?... Sigue igualmente adelante.
Hay dos razones por las cuales sigo empeñado en este tema. En
primer lugar, porque este hábito de la oración cambió mi vida.
En segundo lugar, porque sé por experiencia propia lo difícil
que es mantener el hábito de hacerlo a diario.
Mi mayor batalla es tener la resistencia de seguir haciéndolo
cada día. Esta resistencia me hace luchar cada vez más; la
resistencia interna nunca me dejar que me siente y comience
mi oración. Siempre tratará de distraerme y desanimarme. Hará
cualquier cosa para evitar que yo haga mi oración.
Y si la resistencia no puede conseguir hacer que yo no rece, va
a tratar de que yo retrase mi oración, para que la deje para más
tarde. La resistencia sabe que dejar mis oraciones para después,
significa que voy a hacerla a la carrera o la voy a seguir
retrasando durante todo el día, hasta que termine por no hacerla.
(Resistencia a la felicidad, por Matthew Kelly, págs. 53-54)
Y ahora, Irina. Hemos hablado con el sacerdote, con los
religiosos, con los consagrados, de la fe firme. Pero ¿cómo es
la fe en el matrimonio? El matrimonio es lo más bello que Dios
ha creado. La Biblia nos dice que Dios ha creado el hombre
y la mujer, los ha creado a su imagen. Es decir, el hombre y
la mujer que se hacen una sola carne son imagen de Dios. He
comprendido, Irina, cuando explicabas las dificultades que
tantas veces surgen en el matrimonio: las incomprensiones, las
tentaciones... «¡Bah!, resolvamos esto por la vía del divorcio,
y así yo me busco a otro y él se busca a otra, y comenzamos de
nuevo. Irina, ¿tú sabes quién paga los costes del divorcio? Dos
personas, pagan. ¿Quién Paga?
Con la Gracia de Dios,
Padre Sean Weeks
Parroco
REFLEXION
[Irina: los dos]
¿Los dos? Y otros más. Paga Dios, porque cuando se divide
«una sola carne» se ensucia la imagen de Dios. Y pagan
los niños, los hijos. Vosotros no sabéis, queridos hermanos
y hermanas, no sabéis cuanto sufren los niños, los hijos
pequeños, cuando ven las disputas y la separación de los
padres. Se debe hacer de todo para salvar el matrimonio. Pero
¿es normal que se discuta en el matrimonio? Sí, es normal.
Sucede. A veces «vuelan los platos». Pero si el amor es
verdadero, entonces se hace enseguida la paz. Yo aconsejo a
los esposos: discutid todo que queráis, pero no terminéis la
jornada sin hacer las paces. ¿Sabéis por qué? Porque la «guerra
fría» del día siguiente es peligrosísima. Cuántos matrimonios
se salvan si tienen el valor al final del día, no de hacer un
discurso, sino una caricia, y la paz está hecha. Pero es verdad
que hay situaciones más complejas, cuando el diablo se
entromete y pone ante el hombre una mujer que le parece más
bella que la suya, o cuando presenta a una mujer un hombre
que le parece mejor que el suyo. Pedid ayuda inmediatamente.
Cuando viene esta tentación, pedid ayuda enseguida.

EL PAPA FRANCISCO EN GEORGIA
ENCUENTRO CON LA COMUNIDAD CATÓLICA DE RITO
LATINO EN LA IGLESIA DE LA ASUNCIÓN, 01.10.2016
¿Qué te dijo ante aquellas palabras tuyas: «Yo quiero hacer lo
que hace ese señor» [responde: «Era pequeño, y mi mamá me
dijo “está bien, haz lo que él hace”... pero era pequeño»]. Una
vez más, la mamá, la mujer georgiana fuerte. Aquella mujer
«perdía» un hijo, pero alababa a Dios. Lo ha acompañado
en su camino. Y eso que la mamá de Kote perdía también
la oportunidad de ser suegra... Esto es el comienzo de una
vocación; ahí está siempre la madre, la abuela... Pero tú has
dicho la palabra clave: memoria. Conservar la memoria de la
primera llamada. Custodiar aquel momento como tú guardas
ese recuerdo: «Yo quiero hacer lo que hace ese señor». Porque
esto no es una fábula que te ha venido a la cabeza: ha sido el
Espíritu Santo quien te ha tocado. Y guardar esto en la memoria
es custodiar la gracia del Espíritu Santo. Hablo a todos los
sacerdotes y religiosas.
