HISTORY |
|
St. Pius X Parish is located in the most northern part
of the city of Pueblo, west of I-25. Due to increased construction of
multi-family and single family dwellings, the parish serves a growing population
of families in all shapes and sizes: single parents, blended families, and
senior citizens. It is serving an increasingly more ethnically diverse
population. The closeness of major hotel/motel construction in recent years has
also increased out of state visitors during the summer.
The parish was established in 1954 to serve a
congregation of approximately 300 families. Many of those families were
originally members of Sacred Heart Cathedral, of which St. Pius was an offshoot.
While the church was being built, parishioners either elected to attend mass at
the Cathedral or they celebrated mass with Monsignor John Kelley at the VFW hall
at 3200 Elizabeth. Msgr. Kelley was the founding pastor of St. Pius X.
Construction on the church began in the summer of 1955.
The $300,000 original parish plant included a red brick church with four
basement classrooms and an adjoining convent. By Christmas, the church was ready
to celebrate its first mass. That summer on September 9, 1956, Bishop Joseph
Willging dedicated the parish church named for Pope Pius X.
