Passing of PGK Frank Racano

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our fellow Brother Knight and Past Grand Knight Frank Racano. Frank relocated here from New York several years ago to care for his mother and had been experiencing his own health issues. He had been very active in many of our events. It was Frank who proposed our upcoming golf outing and dedication to the memory of Tony Cerezo. Please pray for him, his family, and particularly his mother.

The Visitation Services for Frank Racano will be Monday, June 28, 2021 at Molnar Funeral Home, Southgate Chapel at 14032 Northline Road from 2pm to 4pm and 6pm to 9pm. Rosary at Molnar will be at 7PM, hosted by the St. Pius Rosary Confraternity (Brother Frank was a member), and assisted by our Council. The Mass of Resurrection is Tuesday, June 29, 2021 at St. Pius X Catholic Church, 14101 Superior in Southgate at 8:30, followed by procession to Our Lady of Hope Cemetery.

May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

Join Us for Good Friday Services at St. Pius X Parish!

As we get closer to Easter, the Knights of Columbus are encouraging families in the parish community to attend the Good Friday Services at St. Pius X Catholic Parish on Friday, April 2nd, 2021 starting at 12 Noon.

Despite Good Friday’s central nature in the heart of Christianity, attendance at services remains low. Putting their faith into action, the Bernard P. O’Brien Council 3956 Knights of Columbus in Southgate will encourage participation through a promotional campaign that educates their parishes on the vital importance of Good Friday. The liturgy of the Lord’s passion and death reminds families of the suffering Jesus endured through his passion and resurrection, thereby opening the gates of heaven for each of us.

Setting an example for their community, starting at 12 Noon, our Council will be attending Stations of the Cross, Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, Meditation of Jesus’ Last Words and Celebration of the Passion of the Lord. All of this will conclude at 3:15PM.

Please join us in this somber but important event. If you have any questions, please call the St. Pius Parish Office at 734-285-1100.
