 
  





St. Pius X Parish includes territory that was originally part of three parishes: Our lady of the Rosary, St. Dominic
and St. Frances Cabrini. The Lake Vista area was a mission of Holy Rosary with Mass being offered each Sunday in the Community Center from 1949 until 1952, when Bishop P. Abel Caillouet, pastor of Holy Rosary, contracted to build a combined auditorium/classroom building. Completed in 1953, this new building became the church, school and rectory for a new parish established in September 1953, with Father Michael Killoughey as pastor. The Lakeshore area, which had been part of the St. Dominic parish, and the Lake Terrace area, which had been part of St. Frances Cabrini, were added to Lake Vista to comprise St. Pius. The new parish school was opened in September 1953 with another school building added in 1956. The parish rectory was built in 1955. Father Killoughey was succeeded as pastor by Msgr. Arthur T. Screen. Msgr. Screen was succeeded by our current pastor, the Rev. Msgr. Clinton J. Doskey. The permanent parish church was dedicated by Archbishop Phillip Hannan on May 1, 1966.
OUR MISSION
As a family of Roman Catholic believers inspired by the motto of
St. Pius X, "to renew all things in Christ", we, the parish of St. Pius X,
adopt this as our mission. We answer this call to holiness through
knowing, loving and serving God and one another.
