If you have attended Mass at Saint Pius X recently, you may be aware that our parish has been praying for Saint Pius X third grader Will Czachowski. On December 27, Will was diagnosed with a type of leukemia (T-cell ALL) and CNS-3 disease. This condition is treatable, and the family is confident in the Riley and Beacon Pediatric Hematology/Oncology teams and the treatment plan ahead.

We are hosting a rosary after school on Wednesday, January 22, at 3:15 p.m. in the church for school families who would like to come together in prayer for Will and his family. All are welcome to attend.



Will's family has created a CaringBridge webpage where you can follow updates and leave messages for Will.

Congratulations to our 6th and 7th grade classes for winning this week's Gospel Value Spotting award! They were nominated by Mrs. Whitmer for demonstrating the Gospel Value of respect. They did a great job going to and from confession and were reverent in the church. All 6th and 7th graders have earned a dress down day Monday!

Registration is now open for current families! Be sure to enroll your student before January 16, when remaining spots will become available to new students.

We warmly invite all parents and guardians to join us for school Mass! Here is our schedule for this week:



Wednesday, January 15 - 8:45 am - Mass - Kindergarten & 1st grade
