Bishop Blanchette Scholarships
The Joliet Diocesan Council of Catholic Women is offering
scholarships for students in need to attend Catholic High
Schools in the Diocese of Joliet. Each parish council may
submit one application for this scholarship. If you are
interested in applying, applications are available in the
St. Pius Parish office and the St. Pius School office. Your
application must be returned to the St. Pius Council of Catholic
Women by March 5, so we will have time to determine which
scholarship we will submit to the Diocesan office. Note that
you will also have to complete an application with FACTS. If
you have any questions please contact Cheryl Sutton at
630-953-9347.
CCW Wine and Unwind Dinner
Save the Date
The Wine and Unwind evening will be held on February 21.
Once again it will be held at the College of DuPage Culinary
Arts School. A wonderful choice of Top Chef style meals
including appetizer, soup, salad, and desserts will be served and
of course a nice selection of wine.
CCW will be announcing the recipient of this year’s Woman of
the Year, so please take the time to vote while making your
reservations. We will be taking reservations after Masses on
February 9/10. There is limited seating, so please keep that in
mind. Any questions, please call Cheryl Sutton at
630-740-5838 after 5 pm.

Cd Spotlight
Pursuing Holiness
Lessons from St. Francis De Sales
Saint of the Day January 24th
Renowned speaker and author, Ralph Martin, presents the
timeless teachings of St. Francis de Sales, bishop, Doctor of the
Church, and famous 16th century author, in a way that provides
profound wisdom for living in today's world. Through the
inspirations of this influential and well-known saint, we gain
great insight into how sin affects our lives, our relationships,
and our witness to the world. St. Francis de Sales equips us in
our pursuit of holiness, enabling us to live the fervent, authentic
Catholic life to which we are called.
Cd’s available in the Gathering Space for $3.00 each.
