Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
Meet fellow parishioners in this monthly event (Oct-May). You will have the opportunity, if you choose, to host a dinner (entree and drink of your choice) or just be one of the “Guess Who’s” guests that will go to the designated home and bring a side dish to share. It’s FUN!  You arrive not knowing who the host is or who else you will share dinner with until you arrive. This is a beautiful way to meet fellow parishioners.

It's All About Us- A Celebration of Marriage 
This ministry was created when local couples were confronted with marriages failing in our local community and with the increasing global awareness of the assault on marriage and family. A response to this crisis became clear through conversations with friends and church leadership including the Vocation’s Director for the Diocese:

• To celebrate marriage by creating a forum to love, nourish and strengthen each other, and
• To establish a community wherein we could build an understanding of marriage as a sacrament and vocation

The “It’s All About Us” annual marriage event was established in 2012 to bring people together to celebrate marriage and build community.

Women's Retreat 
The Pope St. Pius X Catholic Women’s Retreat ministry consists of women guided by the Holy Spirit; inspired by the example of our Blessed Virgin Mary; and, under the mantle of Pope St. Pius X Catholic Church and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Boise, is an outreach ministry focusing on spiritual growth to the women of Pope St. Pius X and the Northern Deanery. Its purpose, by offering a yearly weekend religious retreat facilitated by an experienced retreat master, women will be nurtured, challenged, and affirmed in their spiritual and feminine charisms; amid an environment that fosters prayer, sharing of faith, and sisterhood. The goal, women will develop more confidence in becoming a visible sign of Jesus and bear witness their purpose as daughters of God in their everyday life to family, Church, and community.
