In previous years, a single parent volunteer generously spent hours hanging all of the school student artwork on her own. All of her children have now graduated from Saint Pius X School, so we are hoping to replace her with a team of volunteers. Many hands!

THE SEASON OF LENT AT SPX
Lent is a blessed opportunity for us to deepen our relationship with God. Traditionally, Catholics do this by such practices as daily Mass, daily Rosary, self-denial (“giving something up” to help us stay focused on God), service to the community, and fasting. Other ideas include increased “quality time” with family, going on a Retreat or Day of Recollection, reading the Bible, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) – all good practices that will help lead us closer to God.
Visit the
Parish website
for details on "all things" Lent at Saint Pius X and embrace this beautiful season. For example, the Tuesday Lenten Speaker Series starts tonight!
