We Remember ~ We Celebrate ~ We Believe

Our 60th Anniversary!

“On the Feast of Christ the King, November 23, 2014 we as a parish began a year of celebration, spiritual renewal and reconnecting with each other as a parish family as together we prepare for our Diamond Anniversary!  Yes - we are turning 60!  Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us that “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens ….”  We have many events, activities, liturgical celebrations and opportunities to celebrate our past, rejoice in the present and prepare for our future as a parish family planned for this year. 

 We Remember ~ We Celebrate ~ We Believe - This is the theme we have chosen for our anniversary year.  The theme is inclusive - WE - reaching to the past to embrace those who came before us, embracing the present, believing in our future and always celebrating the presence of our loving  and gracious God throughout our history.  The words surround the St. Pius X parish crest - forming a circle, but not complete - the circle of our family remains open to new and renewed life, new family members, new ideas, new beginnings.”  

                                       Our 60th anniversary year will give us many occasions-  to REMEMBER - to CELEBRATE - to BELIEVE!

Below are some upcoming events already on our parish calendar.  I extend my personal invitation to each of you to join your parish family as we prepare for this momentous occasion in our parish life.  One of the highlights of our anniversary year is the Gala on October 4, 2015.  This is a family event to be enjoyed by all.  Click HERE  for information about the 60th Anniversary Gala - Sunday, October 4.
