How do we show Christ to others?
By the way we live our lives and our willingness to care for those in need. Throughout Winter Break St Pius X will offer a variety of Service Opportunities so young people can help build the kingdom of God but serving those in need. There are a wide variety of events, times, and locations so that teens can try out different ways of helping.
Teens can come to one, two or even all six events! Friends welcome if space allows. Parents welcome as well. Space is limited on many opportunities.
