This annual award presentation recognizes selfless service to parishes. The award is named for the pontiff who, in 1904, created the Diocese of Fall River, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vatican.va\/content\/pius-x\/en.html\">Pope St. Pius X<\/a>. The Holy Father recognized the contributions of youth to the future of the Church making it easier for them to engage with their faith. For example, it was Pope St. Pius X who, through his 1910 decree <a href=\"https:\/\/www.papalencyclicals.net\/pius10\/p10quam.htm\"><em>Quam singulari<\/em><\/a>, lowered the age of First Communion from 12 to 7 years old.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my homily, I shared a reflection on purpose and gratitude, reminding the honorees\u2014and all of us\u2014that each person has a unique and meaningful role to play in the world. I encouraged the congregation to reflect on their own God-given calling. Even when we don\u2019t fully understand our path, we can trust that God has placed us here for a reason and that each of us has a specific purpose according to His plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Chrism-Mass-2-1024x819.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Chrism-Mass-2-1024x819.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Chrism-Mass-2-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Chrism-Mass-2-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Chrism-Mass-2-1536x1229.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Chrism-Mass-2-225x180.png 225w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Chrism-Mass-2.png 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>God also had a plan for Robert Prevost. Since his election to the Papacy, his brothers have provided a glimpse into who he was as a child. While other kids were playing sports, the future pope could be found pretending to celebrate Mass on an ironing board with cookies or wafers. Now, it is probably much clearer to him the plan God had for him, and how, during his whole life, God was preparing him for this important role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>I concluded by sharing the lyrics of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=b_RjndG0IX8\"><em>Do Something<\/em> by Matthew West<\/a>. When we look around at a world in need and ask, \u201cWhy doesn\u2019t God do something?\u201d\u2014God\u2019s answer is: \u201cI did. I created you.\u201d And in creating the honorees of the Pope St. Pius X Award, he created individuals who are serving others and building the future of the Church. I pray that the award recipients do not grow weary in doing good, even when the work is hard. Happiness and peace are not found in self-interest, but in giving, serving, and making a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Download-Guide-Title-with-Three-Images-Soft-Champagne-Color-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Download-Guide-Title-with-Three-Images-Soft-Champagne-Color-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Download-Guide-Title-with-Three-Images-Soft-Champagne-Color-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Download-Guide-Title-with-Three-Images-Soft-Champagne-Color-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Download-Guide-Title-with-Three-Images-Soft-Champagne-Color-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Download-Guide-Title-with-Three-Images-Soft-Champagne-Color-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Download-Guide-Title-with-Three-Images-Soft-Champagne-Color-32x32.png 32w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Download-Guide-Title-with-Three-Images-Soft-Champagne-Color-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Download-Guide-Title-with-Three-Images-Soft-Champagne-Color-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Download-Guide-Title-with-Three-Images-Soft-Champagne-Color-180x180.png 180w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Download-Guide-Title-with-Three-Images-Soft-Champagne-Color-120x120.png 120w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Download-Guide-Title-with-Three-Images-Soft-Champagne-Color.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>During the prayer service, Hannah Tadros, an award recipient from Our Lady Queen of Martyrs in Seekonk, offered a courageous and inspiring reflection on faith, perseverance, and purpose.

Already, the new Holy Father has begun to share glimpses of the vision that will shape his pontificate. In speaking of a synodal Church, Pope Leo invokes the spirit of Pope Francis\u2014a Church that listens, walks together, and is open to the voice of the Holy Spirit. This approach is consistent with the <a href=\"https:\/\/augustinian.org\/spirituality\/our-values\/\">Augustinian values<\/a> that have shaped his life, especially the order\u2019s emphasis on community, friendship, and charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also witnessed an interesting conversation between Pope Leo and the media who covered Pope Francis&#8217;s passing and the recent conclave. In his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vatican.va\/content\/leo-xiv\/en\/speeches\/2025\/may\/documents\/20250512-media.html\">address on Monday<\/a>, the Holy Father emphasized the need for a culture of peace in communication, stating: \u201c&#8230;the way we communicate is of fundamental importance: we must say \u2018no\u2019 to the war of words and images, we must reject the paradigm of war.\u201d These words ring especially true given today\u2019s divisive climate\u2014not only in the United States but across many countries suffering from conflict.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Pope Leo echoed sentiments of Pope Francis, it is important to remember that his papacy will be unique to the new Holy Father. We trust that the Holy Spirit will continue to guide Pope Leo XIV. May his leadership inspire us to continue building a Church rooted in community, friendship, and charity in our journey of faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Saturday: Diocesan Walk for Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Untitled-design-2-2-1024x768.png\" alt=\"In this week's blog, Bishop da Cunha shares his homily from the Pope St. Pius X awards prayer service, thoughts on the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV and a reminder of Saturday's Walk for life.  \" class=\"wp-image-39526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Untitled-design-2-2-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Untitled-design-2-2-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Untitled-design-2-2-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Untitled-design-2-2-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Untitled-design-2-2-240x180.png 240w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Untitled-design-2-2.png 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you can join us this Saturday for a new tradition in the Diocese of Fall River, a local Walk for Life that begins with a Mass.
