The Viri Galilaei, a schola of Catholic men from the area, have asked to make St. Pius X their “home away from home.” The ensemble was without a place to gather to pray and sing, and we’re happy to help them. They will sing in our “temporary church” (Community Room,) 7PM, Wednesdays with a Mass in the Extraordinary Form, followed at 8PM by Vespers, until Thanksgiving. Confessions are heard 7PM-8PM, every Wednesday in the Chapel.

“Therefore, welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.” Romans 15:7.
