We sought opportunities to promote the practice of our Catholic faith among ourselves and others by good example at all times. Besides sharing factual knowledge through daily religion classes and weekly Mass and Communion, we at Pius are endowed with a spiritual program which helps students to realize their privilege as members of the Mystical Body of Christ. The second semester commences with our annual retreat, during which the Piusters earnestly thank God for His guidance in the past and pray for His help and protection in the future. Countless other religious activities brighten the Piusters' year.
