• Gifts of Appreciated Securities - Donating appreciated securities offers considerable tax advantages. Donors
can deduct the current market value of a stock donation on the date of the gift and do not have to recognize the
income from any related appreciation of the securities. To make a stock donation, please contact John Matyasik at
630-627-4526.
• IRA Charitable Rollover - For donors 70-1/2 or older, a charitable gift of up to $100,000 ($200,000 for married
couples) can be made from your IRA account tax free for federal income tax purposes. The gift must come from a
traditional or Roth IRA and be transferred directly from your IRA to St. Pius X Parish in order to be tax-free. The
amount donated will count toward your minimum required distribution and does not increase your taxable income.
• Bequest Intentions - Donors who wish to leave some portion of their estate to support St Pius X Parish are
encouraged to have their attorney or estate planning professional include specific language in their will that
identifies the charitable beneficiary as St. Pius X Parish. Donors choosing this philanthropic option are encouraged
to notify the Pastor or the business office of their intention so that their generosity may be acknowledged.

Sunday Collections – weekly collections through November 30 are $22,000 under budget. Thank you to all who are
   making offertory contributions. Please consider making an end of the year contribution to help bridge the gap.
Christmas Contribution – the Christmas collection is our biggest collection of the year. It helps us to keep up our
   budget for the year. Please be as generous as possible.
Potholes – potholes throughout the campus have been repaired. This will get us by until spring when we will
   resurface the entire campus.
May God Bless you and yours this Christmas Season and may 2021 be a better year for us all.
Stay safe and healthy!

God’s Peace,
John Matyasik

Make a difference. “Every dollar makes a difference in covering our expenses,” says a Trappist abbot. Hundreds of US religious
communities struggle to provide for aging members because most senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests served
for little pay. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious helps these communities bridge the gap, offering support for
medications, nursing care, and other necessities. Please be generous.

                                                 Needed … Devout Catholic PreK-12 Substitute Teachers
   During these challenging COVID days, each Catholic school in the Diocese of Joliet is successfully implementing face-to-face
   instruction that honors the health and safety measures outlined in within its School Reopening Plan. As a result, several Catholic
   educators are needed to serve as substitute teachers at the Pre-School – Grade 12 levels. The substitute teacher candidate must love
   children and hold either a current Illinois Professional Educator License (PEL) or an Illinois Substitute License. Please complete an
   online application by clicking on the link below.

   No degree in education? No problem!
   If you are called to this ministry, a degree in education is not a prerequisite for becoming a licensed substitute teacher. An individual
   who holds a BA in any discipline is eligible to apply for an Illinois Substitute License through the seamless process of transcript
   evaluation. For further information about obtaining a teaching license in this manner, contact Karen Udell, CSO Assistant
   Superintendent of Leadership and Personnel, at 815-221-6123.
