Soup Kitchen Ministry:
The St. Pius X Friday afternoon meal service creates a space where our life in Christ can be lived out and experienced in community as a meal is prepared, served and shared by members of the parish lay apostolate with guests from the local community.  The Ministry is both a charitable work of corporal mercy and an opportunity for evangelization and conversion. You may sign up to work at soup kitchen via the home page of our parish website, or simply show up! We start prepping for the meal at 3:15pm. Team prayer is at 4pm; and we serve and clean up from 4:30-6pm. Please join us!

Funeral Dinners:  
The Funeral Dinner Ministry is a gift to grieving families. Volunteers help in various ways by creating a caring atmosphere, providing food, setting up, serving, cleaning tables, or doing dishes. Those who have benefitted from this ministry, have spoken of how meaningful it is to have this meal together with loved ones and friends without having to do the planning, cooking and serving. This is truly a ministry of compassion.
