Located in Mishawaka, Indiana, St. Pius X Catholic Church brings us to the end of our Indiana based journey.
This church has an attached school, which brings a lively congregation of young families. A church has life when you hear young voices and cries and see more babies in arms than grey hairs – and many of the grey haired are grandparents of the kids.
St. Pope Pius X was born June 2, 1835, canonized May 29, 1954.
Two of the most outstanding accomplishments of this saintly Pope were the inauguration of the liturgical renewal and the restoration of frequent communion from childhood. He also waged an unwavering war against the heresy and evils of Modernism, gave great impetus to biblical studies, and brought about the codification of Canon Law. His overriding concern was to renew all things in Christ.
Above all, his holiness shone forth conspicuously. From St. Pius X we learn again that “the folly of the Cross”, simplicity of life, and humility of heart are still the highest wisdom and the indispensable conditions of a perfect Christianlife, for they are the very source of all apostolic fruitfulness.
