PARISH MISSION STATEMENT

We the people of St. Pius X Parish are formed by the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Baptism to be-come part of the Mystical Body of Christ. We strive through the power of Christ in the Holy Sacrifice to the Mass to show forth God’s transforming love to teach Gospel values; to share time, talent and treasure in good Stewardship, to invite all to share our joy and share Jesus’ message of His Father’s love with all around us and to restore all things in Christ.
