From Our Principal, Sr. Linda...

Dear Parents,

March Madness – St. Pius style is over! Thank you to our Athletic Association, coaches, parents and supporters who make our basketball program possible. The season ended this weekend, we are proud of all our players who represented St. Pius X School and Parish. Our students are now playing field hockey and track & field. Middle school students are also preparing for the Great Computer Challenge and the Forensics Competition.

Scriptures for the Second Week of Lent challenge us to always remember that our God is a loving God who constantly calls us back to his love and care. As we receive God, Mercy, we are called to be merciful. This week look for people and circumstances that need our mercy, then, in thought, in words and in actions, be the merciful reflection of God’s love.

Remember to pray; the Holy Hour, confessions, and Station of

the Cross on Friday evening from 6:00 -7:00 PM offer us the

perfect opportunity to return to the Lord.
