  • History

    On June 28, 1954, Archbishop Edward J. Hunkeler announced the formation of a new parish between Roe and Antioch and the county line to 65th Street. 5 acres of land at 55th and Woodson had been purchased in 1947 for a future parish. Father Francis Glowacki was appointed as the founding pastor. On the next day, 5601 Woodson was purchased for use as the rectory. On September 8, the parish is named St. Pius X after the recently canonized pope.

     

    Ground was broken on February 27, 1955 and Archbishop Hunkeler blessed and lays the cornerstone on May 27, 1955. The First Mass and Blessing of the church by Archbishop Hunkeler was October 5, 1955. On January 27, 1956, St. Pius X School opened its doors to 290 students.
