Sacraments
At St. Pius X Catholic Church, the Sacraments are at the heart of our life in Christ. These sacred celebrations are visible signs of God’s grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church. Through them, we encounter the divine and are strengthened in faith, hope, and love. Whether you are preparing for Baptism, seeking the healing of Reconciliation, celebrating the joy of Matrimony, or receiving the Eucharist, we are here to walk with you every step of the way.
We invite you to learn more about each of the seven Sacraments and how they are celebrated in our parish community.
