Catholic Mission Launch

Catholic Mission Launch – October is World Mission Month

On Tuesday 13th September Mrs Chrostowski and our school captains Eva and John attended the Catholic Mission Launch at St Thomas Moore Church in Ruse. The launch signifies the upcoming mission month of October and introduces the fundraising focus for this year.

2022 will see Catholic Mission funds go to support vulnerable children in Ethiopia who are at risk of malnutrition and facing food insecurity.

The St Pius X community will raise much needed funds toward this social justice initiative during Term 4 – MORE DETAILS TO COME!

Staff Spirituality Day – Pupil Free Day

On Monday 10th October, staff of St Pius X will be coming together to participate in our annual staff spirituality day.

This year we will be heading off site and engaging in a day focused on our ecological conversion journey by exploring aspects of eco theology and eco spirituality deepening our understanding of Laudato Si' and our call to care for our common home. It is an opportunity to reflect on our faith and what it means to be a human being on this planet with a 21st Century understanding of our world, its origins and complexities that invites us to have a change of mind and heart so as to hear and respond to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.
