BUILDING COMMUNITY

Welcome and Hospitality

Soup Kitchen

Every Monday morning volunteers from our Soup Kitchen ministry prepare fresh food and hand deliver it to the Missionaries of Charity in Newark.

As Jesus says, "I was hungry and you gave me something to eat" (Matthew 25:35). What a wonderful opportunity we have at St. Pius X to put this teaching into practice!

If you would like more information or are interested in volunteering to either prepare or deliver the food, please contact Cilia Galasso at: Soup Kitchen

Cornerstone has a long, rich history at Saint Pius X. We look forward to offering this program again in the future. Stay tuned for more details.

CCD / Religious Education

Religious education teaches our children and youth the faith and teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and Christian doctrine. It is essential for developing a personal relationship with Jesus as the foundation for discipleship.

St. Pius X holds religious education classes from grades K-9 on Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings from September to April. There is also a Summer Program held at the end of every school year.

For more information and to sign up your child for the Summer Program or Religious Education classes, please check the most recent bulletin or contact our religious education office.

Youth Ministry

We are gearing up for middle school and high school ministry this Fall, using a terrific Catholic program, Life Teen. Our middle school youth group is a subset of Life Teen called Edge.

For more information on the Life Teen program, either visit their website: Life Teen.

Or, if you're looking to get involved, please e-mail: Youth Ministry

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A.) is a process for men and women to become baptized members of the Catholic Church. Candidates are introduced to Catholic beliefs and practices of the faith.

ALPHA

ALPHA is a free, 11-week evangelization course on the Christian faith. It is meant for seekers, returning Catholics, life-long Catholics, and everyone in between. It begins with a hot meal, followed by a high-quality video considering one topic per night. Examples include: What is the meaning of life? Why did Jesus suffer? How do I pray? Who is the Holy Spirit? and more. After the film, small group discussion follows.

More information will be available in the coming months as to when we expect to offer this program.
