Marriage, Parenting and Family Life Enrichment

Sacred Scripture begins with the creation of man and woman in the image and likeness of God and concludes with a vision of "the wedding-feast of the Lamb."Scripture speaks throughout of marriage and its "mystery," its institution and the meaning God has given it, its origin and its end, its various realizations throughout the history of salvation, the difficulties arising from sin and its renewal "in the Lord" in the New Covenant of Christ and the Church. (CCC, 1602)

Cana Dinner

St. Pius hosts an annual Cana Dinner for married couples. The evening begins with Mass and a renewal of Marriage vows, followed by a catered dinner and keynote speaker. This is a great way for all couples to spend a relaxing evening together with other couples and grow in their faith and love for each other. Child care is provided for children 9 months and up.
