Faith Challenge for Families this September!
Campus Ministry is inviting our St. Pius X families to a faith challenge for the month of September. This weekly initiative is inviting parents and their children to engage one another in faith discussions that can lead to deeper family unity, self-knowledge, quality time, and stronger faith. Each weekly initiative involves reading Scripture, growing in and praying for particular virtues, learning about the lives of the saints, and asking "dinner table" questions for fruitful discussions. Click here for this week's handout. If you have any questions, please reach out to Fr. Rey Pineda or Mrs. Abby Bettencourt.

The Pius Players present Elephant's Graveyard, Oct. 17-18
Elephant's Graveyard is the striking tale of the tragic collision of a struggling circus, a tiny town, and the deep-seated American craving for spectacle, violence, and revenge. By turns funny and heartbreaking, this deceptively simple play explores the demands and limits of empathy and the deeply complex rifts between our actions and our morals. Based on a true story of events 100 years ago, Elephant's Graveyard vibrates with contemporary resonance as it asks, what is the price of entertainment? Showtimes are October 17 at 7:00 p.m. (Live Streaming Event* or Limited Audience* TBA), October 18 at 2:00 p.m (Outdoor Performance in the plaza *limited seating). We are using a new ticketing system this year with Booktix. Please visit our Performances & Tickets page for details.
