They are also part of the Church today. |
Current Activities Page
St Pius X is deeply committed to supporting the Children, Teens and Young Adults of the parish. They are the Church of tomorrow yet are part of the Church of today. To that end we offer programs and activities to help young people to learn about the faith as well as experience it in their daily lives. We arrange opportunities for fun, faith and fellowship with other young people with similar interests and provide training in leadership and a chance to make a difference in the world.
In addition to the education programs geared to the children, teens and young adults through the Faith Formation and Parish School functions we encourage the youth to participate in the following areas that they find of interest:
