Committees & Commisions
Faith Formation
Members of the faith formation commission cultivate and create opportunities for spiritual growth.
Each of us has a hunger to grow closer to God. As we grow in holiness, we seek opportunities for Spiritual growth. The commission seeks to provide a variety of faith formation activities that meet the needs of our parishioners.
Small faith communities, Bible studies, presentations, series of talks on a topic, retreats, Family Faith Formation, and other offerings will be available to help in that growth. Faith Formation is a life-long process. We are baptized into a community of believers. The Faith Formation Commission seeks to provide opportunities for us to continue to grow as a community of faith.
Inquiries about Faith Formation should be sent to Jenn Gravert (jlgravert@gmail.com).
Meetings are every third Thursday of the month at 6:00 p.m.
Justice & Service
The purpose of the Justice and Service Commission (JSC) is to support, encourage, and challenge ourselves and our parish communities to respond to and prioritize the mandate of the gospel to not only serve our brothers and sisters in need, but to also work for justice to eliminate that need.
Education Committee
The JSC shall strive to:
-
Educate our communities about the connection between justice and service work and the gospel, between justice and service work and Eucharist.
-
Educate and inspire our communities to serve well with love, to strive to not only see the face of Jesus in those we serve, but to also be the face of Jesus.
-
Educate our communities regarding the difference between service work and justice work, and the call of the gospel to both.
Service Committee
The JSC shall strive to:
-
Be a resource for our ministries, supporting them and helping with identified needs as much as possible, encouraging volunteer involvement as needed.
-
Evaluate the success of our ministries, as well as the continuing need for services provided.
-
Be open and cognizant of new growing needs in the community, especially needs impacting our neighbors in South St. Louis, that might be calling us to new ministries.
-
Support the call of parishioners to service and be available for support and assistance to enable them to respond to that call, as much as possible.
Justice Committee
The JSC shall strive to:
-
Keep parishioners informed about local/state/national policies and legislation impacting justice.
-
Offer regular opportunities for action on issues, as volunteer capacity allows.
-
Collaborate with other organizations to promote justice issues
The Service and Justice Commission will meet on the second Wednesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. The meeting site alternates between Parishes.
Committee membership is open to anyone. We would love people interested in education, justice or service to join one or more committees.

Liturgy & Worship
The Liturgy and Worship Commission serves the parishioners of St. Pius V by planning all aspects of worship throughout the church year.
Community Life
The Community Life Commission strives to make our parish a welcoming place of inclusion, social involvement, and neighborhood engagement. This includes reaching out to homebound and otherwise disenfranchised parishioners, creating a welcoming environment at Mass, providing clear information about parish membership, and alerting all parishioners to upcoming opportunities to socialize and strengthen our community life.
We welcome more members of our group, so anyone with inquiries about the Community Life Commission should contact Jane Clark (janeclark@fidei.email)
