Our web page is “under construction” (kind of like the house we are building), so check back often!   Welcome to the St. Pius X / Habitat for Humanity web page.  Here you will find everything you need to participate in this deeply rewarding volunteer experience.  Please consider how you might be able to put compassion into action with this parish-wide project.  Together we can all help a family build a dream of owning their own house.
