Unable to Attend Mass In-Person?

The faithful are dispensed from their obligation to attend Sunday Mass if they are ill or have to care for one who is ill, if they are phyically unable to attend Mass (due to safety or a physical impediment), or some other grave reason. St. Pius X provides livestream online Masses for those who cannot join in worship in person due to grave reasons. If you have been homebound due to illness, please contact one of our Priests or Deacons so that we may visit you and offer you Confession and Eucharist.
If you are looking to participate in a livestreamed funderal Mass, you can also do that through the link below. We are sorry for your loss and thank you for praying for your loved ones who have passed.

What to Expect at Mass
The Holy Mass is a place where the Christian community gathers together to listen to God's Word and receive His sacramental presence in the Eucharist. The Eucharist is the "source and summit" of Christian life. At. St. Pius X, we hope that the Mass can be a place where you can lift up your heart to God in prayer and worship.
At St. Pius X, you will find people in different seasons of life - babies, children, teens, young parents, older parents, seniors, single, married, etc. After the Masses, many will stick around to socialize and enjoy coffee and donuts.

Parents should feel welcome to bring their children to Mass. There is plenty of narthex space if parents need to step outside the worship space to attend to their children or if they feel they need for their family to attend Mass outside the worship space.

All are welcome to respectfully join in worship at the Mass. However, Holy Communion is reserved for those who have gone through proper preparation and are practicing Catholic.

Anyone who has not recieved proper preparation for receiving Holy Communion (Catholic or not) are not to receive Holy Communion. If you are not Catholic, to receive Holy Communion, you would need to go through a process of preparation and make a committment to being a practicing Catholic.
