Soup and Sandwich Ministry: Volunteers from St. Pius prepare soup and sandwiches for the homeless in support of Norfolk Catholic Worker. The food is made each Wednesday afternoon and taken downtown early Thursday mornings. This ministry is now back up and running after the pandemic.
Funeral Ministry: St. Pius X parishioners help with funeral masses upon the death of a fellow parishioner. The group provides and serves food during receptions following the funereal mass and will also set up/clean up.
Holiday Food Baskets: The parish collects and assembles Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets for organizations that help families in need during the holidays.
Giving Tree: The Giving Tree ministry brings Christmas joy to families and adults in need of assistance. The parish collects and prepares the gifts that are distributed by organizations who help families in need.
Catholic Education: Education was, and remains to this day, the primary ministry of the parish. St. Pius X School opened its first wing in September, 1956 with an enrollment of 189 consisting of a kindergarten and two first grades. Currently the school serves an enrollment of 350 in grades Pre-K through 8 in four wings and a gymnasium. In 1958 the Sister Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary from Immaculate, Pennsylvania, accepted full teaching responsibilities. While the availability of IHM sisters is limited today, the school is blessed with their presence in administrative staff positions. St. Pius X School has generously organized several baby item supply drives for CCEVA’s pregnant and parenting families.
