as a Church Family.

As Catholics, we are sent on mission to spread the Gospel to everyone we encounter. A common phrase you may have heard is, “preach the Gospel, and if necessary, use words.” The idea behind the phrase is that our actions should speak louder than our words, and our actions should exemplify us as disciples of Christ. One way for us to do this is by making a sacrificial gift to the benefit of another person. The Catholic Ministries Appeal (CMA) gives us an opportunity to do just that.  

The work that the CMA funds is so important, as it reaches across Long Island and all generations. Think about the impact your gift today will have for years to come. A gift today can fund the education of a seminarian who will become a priest and bring others to Christ throughout his life. Your gift can help someone start their life over again as they break the chains of addiction and live their life with dignity and faith. A gift may be used to help a young single mother raise her baby with confidence and security. Our gifts touch so many lives in our community.      

I ask you to please join me and all your brothers and sisters within our diocese to prayerfully consider making a gift to the 2025 Catholic Ministries Appeal. Please do so to the best of your ability as all gifts matter, regardless of the size. Please also remember, 100% of every dollar raised is restricted to fund the objectives, programs, and mission supported by the Catholic Ministries Appeal. No donations are used to fund the bankruptcy settlement.     

Finally, if you are unable to make a gift at this time due to circumstances in your life, please reach out to the parish at any time, so that we may help you in any way that we can. You are never alone, and your church community is always here to support you.    

May God bless you, your loved ones, and our parish.

Last Sunday, it was wonderful to see over 275 people—ranging from children as young as six months to individuals as old as 96—gather together to celebrate the blessings of our shared journey as a Faith Community. We marked 70 years of Love, Faith, Service, and Unity under the patronage of Pope St. Pius X.

As I said in my opening remarks, “This is a celebration of our past, a moment to embrace our present, and an opportunity to look forward with hope as we Restore All Things in Jesus Christ.”

A Special Thank You to our beloved Bobby Pena and his beloved wife Josefina for capturing our every event in the parish as well as this special one.

Helping Hands are needed to stuff socks with toiletries. During the Soup Supper, we will gather for our annual SOCKS of LOVE Project which serves the homeless of Long Island.

Enjoy some gourmet soups with your parish family while helping others in need.

Financial Donations are accepted!

Checks payable to St. Pius X will be used to purchase additional toiletries.

Last Sunday, on the Solemnity of the Baptism of the Lord, our little cathedral was joyfully packed as over ten babies, accompanied by their parents and relatives, received a special Baptism Blessing.

It was truly inspiring to witness these young families reconnect with their faith and renew their baptismal promises. Let us continue to keep these baptized children, along with their parents, godparents, and grandparents, in our fervent prayers.

Over 252 volunteers, driven by a shared spirit of unity and community, came together to weave the fabric of our cherished celebration of the Feast of St. Pius X. It was truly remarkable to witness families working side by side—fathers, mothers, and children, along with new and long-time parishioners, joining hands in service.

On Friday, August 9th, we took the time to celebrate and thank all those who worked so hard behind the scenes to make our Feast of St. Pius X so successful!

The highlight of the weekend was undoubtedly the Beach Mass, which drew over 200 people from diverse age groups. The perfect weather contributed to a truly uplifting experience. Special thanks to the STPX Youth group, led by Claudia Stewart and Brenden Von Runnen, for their exceptional coordination of the liturgy, infusing the Mass with a sense of shared faith and love.   The increasing number of attendees at our Beach Mass is a testament to the love and appreciation for the ocean, waves, and the captivating beauty of the sky as a sacred backdrop for our Mass. May God bless our parish and all its members as we continue to come together in faith and love.

Our 2024 STPX Golf Outing was a great success! It was the idea of Mr. Dario Rossi in 2022 to have the Golf Outing the day after Father’s Day, and it worked out well. We had a record number of golfers – 144! Can you believe that? Thanks to Dario, our golfers enjoyed a beautiful day of golf and fellowship. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Brookville Country Club, especially Manager Carl O’Boyle, for being the perfect host and taking care of every detail. Thank you to our sponsors, golfers, and volunteers for your support and hard work, which helps us maintain our beloved STPX.

Parishioners have been receiving emails and texts from scammers posing as Fr. Valentine and Fr. Chux, Deacon John and the other parish staff members asking for help and trying to get money and gift cards.

Do not believe these requests or reply to any of the communications. Our priests and staff would not and never have contacted parishioners for help in such a manner.
Your concern for our priests and the staff, is appreciated.
