The Spiritual Pillar

Building Disciples of Christ

“When we put God first, everything else falls into place.”

The spiritual pillar is an integral dimension of a student’s educational experience at St. Pius X School. Through the lens of a Disciple of Christ, the student acquires knowledge with a strong moral and ethical foundation. Students build their Christian imagination through immersion in their faith experiences.
