Youth Ministry
The St. Pius X Youth Ministry Group endeavors to build fellowship among our parish’s teens while teaching them more about the Catholic faith and serving the community. The Youth Ministry holds team building events and engages in various service activities in the community and in our parish on a regular monthly basis during the academic school year. This ministry is open to all high school students, grades 9 through 12, who are members of our parish. We welcome and appreciate service opportunity ideas the students wish to share and we coordinate with them to add the volunteer opportunity to the program.
