St Pius X
Youth Awards
They have chosen to witness to their faith in a time when doing so is increasingly more difficult. In engaging in parish life, they are truly shining their light before others. We pray for all our youth to remain faithful, courageous, and steadfast in their desire to live their Catholic faith. We pray they allow nothing in this world to extinguish their desire to do good and to love God. -Bishop Edgar da Cunha
The Pope St. Pius X Youth award is named after Pope St. Pius X, founder of the Fall River Diocese in 1904, who had a great deal of devotion to the youth of the Church and all they had to offer.
​
The award aims to recognize the commitment and selflessness of teens towards Christ, His Church, and local parish communities in the Church. Recipients are nominated by their pastors, must be confirmed, at least a sophomore in high school, and no older than 19 years old.
The medal they receive bears an image of St. Pius X along with his motto, “Restore all things in Christ.”
