St. Pius X Young Adults (18-39)
KNOWN. FORMED. SENT.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to be here.
Maybe you’re carrying questions about faith you’ve never said out loud. Maybe life looks fine on the outside but something deeper feels unresolved. Maybe you walked away from the Church for a while, or never really felt like you belonged in the first place.
This is a place for all of that. Just real people who are learning what it means to actually know Jesus not just know about him.

BIBLE STUDIES & SMALL GROUPS
These intimate gatherings are the heart of young adult life at St. Pius, a space to ask real questions and grow together.
In a small group, you’ll explore Scripture alongside other young adults who are asking the same honest questions about God, about suffering, about what their life is actually for. There’s no pressure to have the right answers. The point is to encounter the Word, and allow yourself to be found by a God who already knows you and calls you by name.
We run sessions year-round across three seasons — fall, winter/spring, and summer.

Our first Friendsgiving celebrating our community growth over the last year! We are normally spread out at different nights of the week, so this night is meant to intentionally gather us together as one.
To make it meaningful, we will have a special time set aside for everyone’s voices to be included and share their ideas about what they want this community to be and help plan out the year (socials, service, special nights, etc.)!
Let us know what you are bringing to the potluck!

SUMMER ADORATION NIGHTS May through October
Once a month from May through October, we gather for an evening of Adoration, praise & worship, and listen to a message. Confessions are also available.
Afterward, we head outside to the firepit for s’mores and fellowship under the lights. It’s a night for your soul and to get connected in community.
These are our 2026 dates:
CONNECT BEYOND ST. PIUS X
Young adult ministry in the Diocese of Bridgeport is alive. St. Pius walks alongside other parishes and groups across the diocese — because this life of faith was never meant to be lived alone, and community doesn’t stop at our parish doors.
For events and gatherings happening across the diocese, visit catholic203.com.
To get connected with St. Pius X Young Adults, contact Paola Peña, Director of Evangelization, at ppena@st-pius.org.
