Campus Ministry
Living the Pillars of Veritas Every Day
At St. Pius X High School, Campus Ministry brings the Dominican Pillars of Prayer, Study, Community, and Preaching to life through service, worship and reflection. Led in the truth of Christ and guided by our Catholic faith, we foster a spiritual environment where all students are invited to grow in holiness, live out the Gospel, and encounter God’s love in community.
Campus Ministry is not just a student experience – it’s a lifelong invitation. We cultivate spiritual connections across our alumni network, partner organizations, sister Catholic schools, Dominican communities, and the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, reinforcing our shared commitment to truth, justice and service.

Alumni Liturgies and Milestone Masses
Faith and fellowship don’t end at graduation. Campus Ministry honors our enduring Panther legacy through special liturgies for alumni, including:
-
Anniversary Class Masses: Gatherings for milestone reunion years that celebrate shared memories and rekindle spiritual bonds.
-
Gold and Silver Jubilee Liturgies: Honoring 50- and 25-year reunion classes in a sacred Mass that brings alumni together in prayer, gratitude, and community.
These events reflect our Dominican commitment to lifelong community and spiritual formation, inviting alumni to return to campus not just as guests - but as family.
