Beware of Email Scam
It has been brought to our attention that St. Pius X parishioners are once again being targeted via email and text as part of a scheme to commit fraud against our parishioners. The emails or texts appear to be from Father Brady or other clergy, however they are not. Please be reminded that neither Fr. Brady nor any of our clergy would ever send an email or text requesting help in this way from anyone in our congregation. Please disregard the communication and report it to the parish office at info@stpiusxchurch.org. If you regularly email or text anyone here at St. Pius and are suspicious of its authenticity, please confirm the communication with the person via phone or in-person.

Youth Volunteers Needed
Confirmation Preparation
St. Pius X needs you! We will be preparing approximately 100 high school juniors to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation this year. We are looking for 15 volunteers to help in that preparation. Volunteers who mainly help facilitate small group discussions of groups of about 6 students. The classes will be held from 3:15-4:45 p.m. on the 6 Sundays during Lent (February 26—April 2, 2023). Most of the classes will be led by others, but we are hoping to find enough volunteers to allow for meaningful small group discussion at the end of the sessions.
To register to be a Confirmation volunteer, or if you have questions, please contact: Katie Martin, Confirmation Coordinator at sacraments@stpiusxchurch.org.
