St. Pius X Religious Education Program

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 for grades K-8 on Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings from September to April. There is also a Summer Program held at the end of every school year. Our 9th Grade Confirmation Candidates attend sessions on Sunday evenings from September through March.
