All the latest from SPX
August 17/18 2019
In the scripture readings at Mass this summer we hear some of the classic stories of our faith and meet some classic characters. Many of us first heard these stories as children. Let’s hear them now as if for the first time to discover their true message so we can go deeper in our faith.

THIS WEEK AT SPX
SPX Feast Day
Happy Feast Day to us! The feast of our parish's patron, St. Pius X, is August 21. To learn more about this pope, whose motto was 'to restore all things in Christ" click here .
KidMin Registration
In KidMin we believe the Bible should never be boring, worship can be really loud, and good leaders always care! While kids are in Kindergarten- 5th grade we want to make sure these three things stick:

  1. I need to make the wise choice.
  2. I can trust God no matter what.
  3. I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
The focus in KidMin is our small group environment. We want kids to see how God's Word fits in to their lives, to learn how to talk to him, and to build friendships that will last. That's why it's important to make sure your child connects with the same friends and same leader at the same hour—EVERY SUNDAY! KidMin meets 10:15-11:15 AM.

REMINDER: Children who are planning to receive their sacraments must have a minimum of two years of faith formation. Children interested in the SUMMIT program must also be registered in the age appropriate faith formation classes.

Register for the 2019 - 2020 year by clicking here . Thank you.
