St. Pius X Catholic Parish 

Hi everyone,
This year is going to be a unique year for the St Pius X Men's Club membership. Financially, we will be starting off in about as bad a place as possible. We completed last year with our Crawfish Cookoff, Fishing Rodeo and Cool Zoo fundraisers all being cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. To start this new school year off, two of our biggest fundraisers of the year, City Park Night and the Haunted House/Hayride, were also cancelled along with Fall Sports. To date, we have had very low applications for membership as most of our events so far, including our first meeting, have been cancelled. I am writing this to urge you to please join the Men's Club this year, if at all possible. As always, we never turn anyone away so if there are any financial hardships, please do not feel pressured. The Board and I are just trying to make this one of our best years from a membership standpoint to hopefully make up for a lot of the lost revenue from event cancellations.
 
Through all of this, we still have expenses to pay including the Community Coffee for all of the teachers, the monthly Cox Cable bill, and the paper products for the Parish. Over the summer, we purchased a laptop and projector for Fr. Lawrence's parish in Africa along with a new camera and microphone for live mass streaming at our own church. We also purchased the outdoor basketball goals for the school, as well as hosted a Prosecco party for the teachers at the end of last school year. We have paid deposits for future events out into next year because we have to hold on to our dates.
 
If you are a parent of a current student, you should have received a Facts registration form in your child's folder. If not, please go to the following link: SPX Men's Club Square Site
While you are on the Square site, you can also go ahead and sign up for the Golf Tournament too. This will be held on Friday, October 2nd. The details were sent for this event in a different email.
 
Thanks so much for all of your past support. The Board and I are hopeful to get this year moving soon and for our events to get (relatively) back to normal. As always, please reach out to me or any board member with any questions or comments.

Cross Country Parents and Guardians,
Post COVID quarantine procedures have disrupted existing avenues for athletic competition in the New Orleans metro area. With the cancellation of fall sports by the Archdiocese in our schools our children can only compete in athletics independently. With the help of the SPX Men’s Club, we’ve been able to organize the Lake Vista Cross-Country League and supply an opportunity for our middle and elementary school runners to compete as independents. While this fall season will be different from a typical racing season, it’ll be great to get outside on Saturdays and race!
