On October 23, President Parr issued an exciting challenge to families who hadn’t yet contributed to the Annual Fund: if 60 new donations were made within ten days, a generous $10,000 challenge gift from the Knight and Foster families would be unlocked. Thanks to our community’s incredible response, we reached that goal—and then another family stepped up, offering an additional $6,000 if six more donors contributed by the following day. We’re thrilled to share that 85 families joined in, far surpassing our original goal. Thank you, St. Pius X families, for your incredible support! If you have yet to donate and would like to do so now, please click here.

Parent and Student Volunteers Needed!

This is a Work of Mercy Opportunity for Students.

This service project is dedicated to making fleece blankets for the children of Dresden Elementary School as part of the Dresden Christmas Project. The blankets will be given to the children, along with Christmas gifts that will be collected. The blankets are a lot of fun to make—just measure, cut, and tie! Instructions will be provided at the event.
