St. Pius X & The Dominican Republic
This is your year to Step Closer to the international service efforts of the St. Pius X community.
Our support is making an important difference in the lives of nearly 500 children in the
Dominican Republic. See below to learn more and get involved.
-
Share the blessings of the St. Pius X community with those in need and build personal connections and educational opportunities for St. Pius families and the students at our parish school.
-
St. Pius supports Casa Santa Ana, a campus established on 50 acres donated by the local Catholic diocese. The Casa provides housing and all meals for kids in residence and services for nearby families living in the poverty of the bateys (a settlement for sugar plantation workers with no electricity or running water.) A K-11 school, medical clinic, farm, and vocational workshops are on site.
-
Since 2021 SPX has raised more than $40,000 for Casa Santa Ana. These funds went directly in the establishment of an on-site dental clinic and to purchase needed educational supplies (books, desks, etc.) for the school. We have also linked students at our parish school with their peers in the D.R. through live video presentations and a pen pal program for our 4 th and 8 th graders.
-
St. Pius is working with NPH-USA, a highly regarded not-for-profit founded by a Catholic priest. NPH provides the infrastructure and administrative support that enables St. Pius to focus on charity, not paperwork. NPH is based in Chicago, has been around since 1954, and is highly rated by independent evaluation agents.

Committees are forming to manage fundraising, outreach, travel, school projects, and long-term plans. Sign up today. Anyone interested in sponsoring an individual child may do so through NPH.
