Dear St. Pius X Families,

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take a few minutes (approx. 10 to be exact) and click on the QUICK LINK to the left and take our Accreditation Parent Survey.  To date, we only have 9 families who have completed this short survey and we really need to have everyone participate.  If you have any questions, please contact the office. 

Thank you for your support and cooperation!  You Are St. Pius!

A Note from Shamita...
 
Hello, My dear Scrip Families,

As I sign off from the scrip program this week in March, I just wanted to take a moment and personally thank you all for allowing me to bring the scrip program to you and help in some small way to reduce the tuition payments. Some of you have been with me as we started it six years ago, and some of you have joined during the last couple years but neverthless it would not have had been possible to make it successful without your constant participation.
Your year-end scrip profit totals will be ready in the next couple weeks and will be with your tuition statements.
If you have any questions let me know.
Thank you for providing me with an opportunity to know you and serve you.

Au revoir,
Shamita

Notes from Amy...
 

Please turn in your volunteer hours immediately if you have not already done so.

  • There is a $300 volunteer service scholarship that will be applied to your tuition bill on April 19, but it will not be applied if you have not turned in your form.

A reminder to turn in your envelope when you are at mass (yes, even in the summer).

  • Mass attendance is tracked through the use of the envelopes (turn in an empty one if you need to) in order to receive the Active Parishioner tuition scholarship worth $1300.00.
    • Mass attendance must be a minimum of 50% to receive this scholarship.

Have a great day!
