One godparent must be Catholic, at least 16 years of age, registered in the parish where he lives, fully initiated (received the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and First Communion), and Catholic in good standing (e.g., married in the Catholic Church, participating in Sunday Mass). He must obtain a letter of eligibility from his current parish. One practicing non-Catholic Christian may also be admitted as a Christian Witness. The next class is August 11 at 6 pm (Zoom). Please contact mhoggard@piusxparish.org, at least one week before the class, for more information and to register.

Please wear your face mask and practice social distancing when you come to the church.

With the regulations the diocese has given us regarding our gathered Mass-es, we are in need of people to assist with hospitality for these Masses (5pm Saturday, 8 & 11am on Sunday). Specifically, we need persons to assist peo-ple crossing the street in front of the church, and showing people to their places. Ideally, these people would not be in any COVID-19 risk categories, so young people are particularly needed. This is an ideal ministry for the entire family! If you can help with any of these Masses, please contact the parish office at 757-583-0291 ext. 10 between 9:30 am to 12 pm Monday—Friday, and we’ll get you started.
