We the Catholic Community of St. Pio, inspired by the Holy Spirit, celebrate the Eucharist with hope, to share our faith, love, and the good news of Jesus Christ through outreach and fellowship.
Our parish was established with the decree issued by Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron on July 1, 2014. St. Pio of Pietrelcina Parish was formed from the former parishes of Sacred Heart, St. Athanasius, and Our Lady Queen of All Saints. Our Shepherd, Fr. Greg Rozborski, and his leadership team have worked very hard to unify and grow the parish since the merger.
This is an exciting time at St. Pio, as we have made it to an important milestone in our history. The fall of 2018 marks the first time that we have one location to call home to both our church and parish office. We can now focus more on the pastoral and outreach missions of our parish. Our parish mission helps to give us all focus as we continue the work of our universal church.
Oh my Jesus,
give me Your strength
when my weak nature rebels
against the distress
and suffering of this life of exile,
and enable me to accept everything
with serenity and peace.
With my whole strength I cling to Your merits,
Your sufferings, Your expiation, and Your tears,
so that I may be able to cooperate with You
in the work of salvation.
Give me strength to fly from sin,
the only cause of Your agony,
Your sweat of blood, and Your death.
Destroy in me all that displeases You
and fill my heart with the fire of Your holy love
and all Your sufferings.
Clasp me tenderly, firmly, close to You
that I may never leave You alone
in Your cruel Passion.
I ask only for a place of rest in Your Heart.
My desire is to share in Your agony
and be beside You in the Garden.
May my soul be inebriated by Your love
and fed with the bread of Your sorrow. Amen.
