SEPTEMBER 2014
A Message from Monsignor
St. Pius the Tenth received good news after a
delegation from our parish met with the Bishop and
Diocesan leadership regarding our campaign to Gather
and Grow. Impressed with the
great success of our campaign,
we received permission to
take the design forward to
engineered construction
drawings. After the architects
are finished, our contractor,
Rentenbach Constructors,
will receive bids from the
various sub-contractors for
construction. Trust me when
Reverend Monsignor I tell you, I can’t wait to get
Anthony Marcaccio
into our new buildings, and
we will be doing everything we can to finish them early
and with excellence.
The diocese will be looking at the rate at which
pledges are turned into cash from the campaign since
the diocesan formula to begin construction requires
having 50% of the project cost in cash. We do not
expect any difficulty as a remarkable 99% of the pledges
of the campaign to build the church were collected,
during and in the aftermath of the recession of ’08.
You may have seen in the recent Catholic News
Herald story on the success of the diocesan campaign,
Forward in Faith, Hope and Love. How proud I am
of the leadership of our parish and the role our own
campaign played in the bigger story of that success. The
truly incredible thing is even though there are far larger
parishes than ours, we have made the third largest
contribution to the diocese. We did this in the midst
of a drive to meet our real and immediate needs at St.
Pius X. As one person working on the campaign said
to me, “because of its history of stewardship and spirit
of gratitude, it’s as if St. Pius will not be outdone in
generosity.” Thanks for
making that a very true
statement.
Moving On ... Yet Still With Us!
A big THANK YOU to Tracy Welliver who started
working at St. Pius X out of graduate school as our
Faith Formation Director and who recently left us as
Pastoral Associate for Liturgy and Faith Formation to
take another position with Liturgical Publications, Inc.
The good news is Tracy and his family will be staying
and using St. Pius X as their home base. Dave Wils,
who served as our Youth Minister and recently married
Amanda Mitchell, has taken a position with Guilford
County Schools. He also will be staying in the parish.
We thank them both for their professional ministry
and wish them the very best. Please know the search is
underway to fill the positions. We appreciate all those
who are helping in the process.
After 22 Years, Where Did He Go?
Tracy Earl Welliver
There have been so many questions about my leaving
the staff of Saint Pius X and my new job, I have been
asked to share about my new journey. With almost 22
years of service to Saint Pius X, I had no intention of
going anywhere. I was very happy as Pastoral Associate,
working with all the great stewards in the ministries of
formation and liturgy.
Less than 2 years ago, I was approached by Liturgical
Publications, Inc. at a conference where I was speaking.
LPi is the largest bulletin company in the US which also
offers a complete parish communication solution. They
were looking to diversify even more and had a vision of
becoming a church stewardship company, helping
See 22 Years on page 3.
22 Years (Continued from page 1.)
parishes become strong stewardship parishes like our
own. They asked me to write a whitepaper on online
giving, and that successful project led to my becoming a
regular writer for Connect!, a bimonthly newsletter focusing on parish leadership and liturgy preparation.
Around Easter of this year, I was asked by LPi to
consider several more projects. I expressed my time was
limited, but my interest level was still high. Then in July,
they made an offer for me to become their Director of
Parish Community and Engagement. I was asked to write
my own job description and essentially help them chart
a course that would lead them into becoming the leading
stewardship company in North America. It was an offer
I couldn’t refuse, especially since I would be allowed to
work from home.
There are 3 primary components to the job: writing,
speaking, and parish consulting. I don’t really have much
to do with bulletins, except the creation of some content
for them. It was clear that it was God calling me to this
new journey, and I am grateful for all the kind words
I have received in the past weeks. I will remain in the
parish and hope to be an active steward. I want to thank
Monsignor for his support in this time of transition. I will
always be thankful to the parish that gave a kid fresh out
of Duke Divinity School a chance 22 years ago.
Chris Westmoreland Endowment
Established
Ryan Murray
Chris Westmoreland is a familiar name to members
of the St. Pius X parish family. An endowment
fund has been created in his memory. The Chris
Westmoreland Endowment Fund was recently set-up
through Chris’ family with the help of the St. Pius X
staff. Scholarships will be awarded for a variety of
activities such as Workcamp for active members of the
St. Pius X Youth Group. “One of the reasons we chose
to give back to the Youth Group at St. Pius is because
it was such an important part of Chris’ life,” said Cindy
Westmoreland, Chris’ mother. “The endowment will
be able to give back to the youth at St. Pius X forever
and ever.”
On July 11, The Chris Westmoreland First Annual
Memorial Golf Tournament was held at Oak Hollow
Golf course with the funds raised benefitting the
endowment. “We had a very good turnout and
great support from our sponsors,” Cindy said. “The
tournament will certainly be an annual event.”
For more information on the Chris Westmoreland
Endowment Fund, contact the parish office at 2724681.
What Does Love Mean?
Professionals posed the above question to a group of children. This was one response:
A four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his
wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed in to his lap, and just sat there. When
his mother asked what he said to the neighbor, the little boy said, “Nothing, I just helped him cry.”
Seasons of Hope Grief Support Ministry Sessions
Daryl Ferguson
Starts Sunday, September 28, 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Meets for 6 weeks on Sunday afternoons at the Parish Office on State Street.
The loss of a loved one is devastating. Seasons of Hope (SOH), a national program created by a hospice specialist
more than a decade ago, helps people carry the weight of that cross, supporting them through their journey of grief
while providing them with encouragement and hope. Grounded in Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Catholic
Church, SOH is a 6 week comprehensive peer-led grief support program. St. Pius X has an active consolation
ministry to organize funerals and wakes for the parish and this grief ministry complements our outreach efforts.
If you need help carrying the loss of your loved one, make plans to join the Seasons of Hope Sessions. Each SOH
Session consists of a greeting and opening prayer, scripture, a journal assignment and sharing, then closes with
another prayer, followed by fellowship and snacks with members of the Ministry Team and the participants. Along
with the sessions, the SOH team mails sympathy cards, prays, writes letters and makes phone calls to those in our
parish who have lost loved ones. The leaders of this ministry say that the most special part of SOH is its gift of
healing for the participants. The next 6 week session of Seasons of Hope starts Sunday, September 28. If you would
like to participate or need more information, please call the parish office 272-4681. You can also register by visiting
our website www.stpiusxnc.com and go to Registration and Payment for Parish Programs. Note: there is no fee to
register and attend this group. Please, come for comfort and healing.

Prayer For the Day
Father, through my face may your light shine; Through my voice may your praise be heard;
Through my hands may your works be extended; Through my life may your grace abound;
Through my heart may your love be known.
Financial Letter To The Parish
Dear St. Pius X Parishioners:
Accompanying this letter is a consolidated operating statement for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2013 and ending on June 30, 2014.
In general, revenue from all non-restricted donations well exceeded the budget while expenses for the same period were less than budgeted. Despite the continued growth and required services, Monsignor and his staff did a very
good job of controlling spending throughout the fiscal year. The following are some of the specific details:
• Actual Offertory for the fiscal year was $1,552,770, exceeding the budget by $50,270.
• Total expenses (excluding interest on our debt) for the fiscal year were $1,435,528 which was $105,620 less than we
budgeted. General Administrative expenses were the biggest variance, but all categories spent less than budgeted.
Under the General Administrative category, salaries and the associated taxes were the largest accounts that underspent the budget due to not hiring full and part time positions that were in the budget.
• Religious Formation programs spent less than budgeted by $32,180. The reduction in expenses were spread across
all areas of Religious Formation.
• The CVS actual income exceeded the budget because of a “catch up” payment due to an increase in the lease that
was missed.
In January, the diocese conducted a complete audit of our financial record keeping. The audit found ten areas of
concern and made recommendations for corrective action. All ten concerns have been addressed by the administrative staff at St. Pius X and corrective actions implemented. On July 29, 2014 we received a letter from the director of
Parish Audit Services stating that our corrective actions fulfilled all of their recommendations and they considered
the audit complete.
The Finance Council has been working with the diocese to put together a financial plan and cash flow analysis for
“Making a Place to Gather and Grow.” The financial spreadsheets were provided to the diocese the first of August
and presented a very strong financial position, both in the amount of pledges we have secured and the amount of
cash we have saved. The Diocesan Building Committee agreed with all the assumptions that were presented.
As of June 30, 2014, the debt remaining on the church was $671,783. Because we have collected pledges from
the church’s capital campaign to cover this debt, it does not have an effect on our ability to move forward with the
“Gather and Grow” project.
On-line giving has continued to increase every month since it was offered. We did add the option to make contributions through the use of a credit card recently and that option has also been growing in use since it was introduced.
It is extremely inspiring to be part of a faith community that has such a strong financial commitment to St. Pius
X Church. Thank You! Should you ever have questions or comments regarding any aspect of the finances, please
feel free to contact me or any member of the Finance Council through the parish office.
Best regards,
Mark P. Painley
Finance Council Chairman

St. Pius X Receives Resource Grant for Students with Disabilities
Early last spring St. Pius X applied for a grant from the Foundation of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlotte to provide support and training on best practices for serving children with intellectual disabilities, including
autism. Although the faith formation program already serves several children in our community, the proposed
grant would allow the program to reach out to additional children. In July, we were notified that a grant in the
amount of $1,000 had been approved. This grant, administered by Bree Jimenez, will provide St. Pius X Faith
Formation catechists access to the support services of the National Catholic Partnership on Disabilities including
multiple webinars, software that can be used to develop materials with picture symbols and a notebook of adapted
materials. The use of all these resources will enable our catechists to meet the needs of all of our children with the
goal of having an inclusive faith formation program.

In Thanksgiving
While the retirement age for most of us is 66 years old, most priests continue to minister until they turn 70 and
even beyond. Even in retirement, they continue to serve faithfully in our parishes with Masses and confessions. It is
only through the generosity and continued service of retired priests that many of our active priests can take a much
deserved vacation once in awhile. Some of you might remember Fr. Jim Solari and Msgr. Showefety who fill in when
Msgr. Marcaccio has to be away.
Each parish is assessed 3.5% of their offertory to pay for the Priests’ Retirement and Benefits Plan. That assessment became a necessity when it became evident that the funds on hand and those from the second collection would
not meet the future retirement needs of our priests. This fund also provides for the future retirement of those priests
currently in active ministry. It insures that funds will be there when they are ready to retire.
Our parish assessment is $52,443.42. That amounts to slightly less than two times our weekend offertory. Please
consider making a proportionate contribution to this important collection and please pray for our priests. Pray in
thanksgiving for the many gifts they bring to their priestly ministry and for the many ways they shepherd us through
prayer, sacrament and service each day.
