St. Pius X Catholic Church
Families in faith - faith formation program
Come, share in the joy! There is GREAT joy in families coming together to learn about their faith and live it out as the Body of Christ!
We strive to live as families in faith, joining together as a parish family in faith. Every member of St. Pius X parish is included regardless of age, family structure, vocation, or choice of school system. All members possess different gifts and talents; all intended to build up the Body of Christ. As a community we are responsible for passing on our faith to the infants, children and youth of our parish. That means we must be continuously forming and growing in our faith, so that we possess a living faith to pass on to future generations. Our U.S. Bishops have spoken to this more than once. The following quote from their 1999 document Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, paragraphs #2-5, explains their challenge and expectation of our faith community very well. (You can obtain a copy of the document in its entirety through our parish office or by clicking here.)

I am so excited that we are a part of Families in Faith! [My husband] is going to teach ... while I dig deeper into my faith! I'm so excited! I know everyone stays busy. We are just making this part of our crazy life! |
I love the community building that is taking place. I feel closer to my church family. I also feel that I am learning to connect on a deeper level. |
