School Mission Statement:
For the past fifty years, the faculty, family, parish
and community of St. Pius X Catholic School have
worked in partnership to provide a positive, Catholic,
value-based environment designed to develop life-long
learning skills. We believe our Catholic faith, traditions
and service are essential in order to provide for
the spiritual, academic, emotional, physical and
social needs of the whole child.
About
Our Name:
St. Pius X Catholic
School is named after Pope St. Pius X (1835-
1914). Born of a postman and seamstress, Giuseppe
Melchior Sarto, was an exceptionally brilliant
and spiritual man. For the twelve years he served
as Pope (1903-1914), he emphasized the importance
of daily Eucharist (“the
Pope of Frequent Communion”) and worked
tirelessly to prevent the outbreak of global
war. Declared a saint on May 29, 1954 by Pope
Pius XII, he is the last pope to be canonized.
His Feast Day is Monday, August 21 and is celebrated
annually in an all-school mass.
