MISSION STATEMENT
We the members of Saint Pius X Community seek Christ who is our life and has revealed Himself to us.
We praise Him by providing a spiritual environment so that all may follow in His footsteps.
The realization of the Body and Blood of Christ through the celebration of the Holy Eucharist is the
most important part of our journey. To be one with Christ through the Holy
Eucharist is the ultimate expression of the faith.

“There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.” 1 Corinthians 12:4-6
All of us are blessed, regardless of our own individual circumstances; God has given each of us many gifts. How we use those gifts is our gift back to God. For God’s plan to work, each must do what we are called to do and guess what – we are not all called to do the same thing!

WE ARE A TITHING PARISH…...
God gives us everything we have and allows us to keep 90% of it for any good purpose. He simply asks
that we return the first 10% to Him (5% to the local parish, 5% to God’s other good works, our personal
charities) in gratitude. This spirituality of tithing is as old as the Bible itself, and disposes us to make God first
in every area.

The Rosary is the most beautiful and the most rich in graces of all prayers; it is the prayer that touches most the Heart of the Mother of God…and if you wish peace to reign in your homes, recite the Rosary.” -Saint Pius X
