There has been much concern since the Renew My Church decision for our parish grouping was announced. There have been rumors that St. Pius X will be closing. Cardinal Cupich’s decision that was announced on January 22, 2021did not state that St. Pius X will be closing. ST. PIUS X PARISH WILL REMAIN OPEN. The decision stated:
- St. Pius X will join a grouping with parishes in Cicero/Berwyn and continue their structural discernment later this year.
- Effective July 1, 2021, St. Hugh, St. Mary and Mater Christi will unite as one parish with a new name, one pastor and one pastoral team.
- Fr. Tom May will serve as pastor of the newly unified parish.
- Mass at St. Hugh Church will conclude no later than March 2, 2022 and the entire campus be sold or leased.
Next steps:
St. Pius X will begin to connect to the parishes in Cicero and Berwyn. Specific timelines for continued discernment will be set in the coming weeks. Continue to pray for our Renew My Church grouping as St. Hugh, St. Mary, ad Mater Christi embark upon the next phase of renewal; forming a new parish and focusing on strong evangelization to the world around us.
