Each year the Archdiocese of Boston celebrates Catholic Schools Week. This year's theme is United in Faith and Community. Saint Pius V School will kick off this special week with a school-family mass on Sunday, January 26, at 11:30 am. All families are highly encouraged to participate in this special Mass where students in grades 1-8 will sit with their teacher and classmates in a designated pew and wear their Saint Pius V School uniform. Pre-K and K students will sit with their parents.
Following Mass, the school will be open for an Academic Open House Showcase. Student work will be highlighted throughout the building. We welcome you to come and celebrate Mass with us and see the wonderful things that are happening at Saint Pius V School!
