Music Ministry Groups
We invite you to take part in our Music Ministry Groups!
We have two adult choirs in St Pius X church who welcome new members at any time.
St Pius X Adult Church Choir sings hymns and songs each week at the 11.30am Sunday morning mass.
St Pius X Adult Folk Group sings hymns and songs at the 7pm Saturday Vigil mass every second week.
St Pius X Children’s Choir sings hymns and songs at the monthly Family mass and also at the 7pm Saturday Vigil mass every second week. If you have children under the age of 12, we invite them to join the Children’s Choir.
Voluntary Ministry/Groups
We invite you to take part in one or more of our Voluntary Ministry/Groups!
Volunteers are essential to the success and life of our parish. Without doubt, parishioners who do participate in voluntary ministries find these ministries exceptionally rewarding and valued. Many lifelong friendships are developed through these shared ministries.
Volunteers can partake in trained religious ministries such as Minister of the Eucharist, Minister of the Word (reader) or the Funeral Ministry Team or simply parish community based groups such as our Welcome team, Hospitality team, Church Cleaning team or Gardening group.
Full details of all parish groups can be found here.
Hospitality
We invite you to come along and meet your community!
We have various opportunities for you to come along and get to know your neighbours and parishioners:
Weekly tea/coffee morning every Thursday after 10am morning mass
Monthly tea/coffee after each of the weekend Masses (7pm Vigil mass on Saturday and 11.30am Sunday mass). This get together takes place on the 3rd weekend of every month.
Supporting our Parish Finance
Our parish functions with the continued generosity and financial support of our parishioners – through the Planned Family Giving, Donations and Maintenance Outdoor Collection.
The Parish Family Planned Giving is the most important source of income needed to run the parish, paying all the normal bills, heating, electricity, taxes, office, insurance, staff, supplies, repairs etc. As a new parishioner, if you are in a position to contribute to the Planned Family Giving we would be very grateful indeed.
