St. Pius X, Wauwatosa

Our Parish Roots

St. Pius X Parish Community was founded in 1952 by the Society of the Divine Savior (Salvatorians). In September 1953, the parish opened a 16-room grade school and the Salvatorian sisters agreed to teach at St. Pius X school. The school merged with St. Bernard’s school in 2012 to form Wauwatosa Catholic, which St. Pius X continues to sponsor. With the Salvatorian charism of bringing the “goodness and kindness of the Savior” to others, serving the poor and working for systemic change has been an integral part of our community’s history, both locally (food pantries, etc.) and internationally (support of a sister parish in Guatemala and 42 wells built in rural Tanzania). St. Pius X is a welcoming community, as shown by a diversity quite high for the Wauwatosa area. Involving lay ministers is an important Salvatorian value emphasized in the parish. St. Pius X was one of the first in the archdiocese to have a Pastoral Council. As we come out of Covid restrictions, our goal is that the “new normal” will better empower parishioners to bring the goodness and kindness of Christ to others.
