*There is a seventy (70) year access restriction on baptism and marriage records. No restrictions apply to the remainder of this collection.

The parish of St. Pius X Catholic Church was formed from the territory of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in 1952. The Oblate Fathers of St. Francis de Sales were given charge of this new parish. Their first pastor was Reverend William A. Stahl.

Mass was temporarily said at the Colony Theater on Monroe and Central Avenue. By December of 1953, their church and school buildings were ready for use. A convent was added one year later.
