Please Come to the Sacrament of Reconciliation this Advent —

Confessions will also be available at the usual times on Saturdays and before each daily Mass.

The Church encourages all Catholics to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation each Advent. In addition to our normal confession times on Saturdays and before each daily Mass, St. Pius X and all the Catholic parishes of the Diocese will have Confessions on Advent Wednesdays from 6:30-8:00 p.m.

Since the Immaculate Conception is a holy day of obligation, our Mass schedule specifically for this Solemnity will be:

On Tuesday, the daily Mass/Confession schedule will remain the same, but does not fulfill the obligation to celebrate the Solemnity.

Saturday, December 11th | 12 p.m. | Walmart on Pinhook (2428 W Pinhook Rd, Lafayette, LA 70508)
