We are so excited to introduce to your our new online church directory! Please be patient as I walk you through what is to come.
ThroughInstant Church Directory, we will be able to look up other parishioners, be able to find their information to communicate with them, and see each other's pictures. This is available to view on your computer or on a mobile app!

You will be asked to enter your email address as it's listed in our directory. If your email address isn't listed in the directory, let Karissa know so it can be added.
Once you enter your email address, follow the directions on-screen to complete the "create log-in" process. After you sign in, you'll see the most up-to-date directory for our church. Any time updates are made, they will show on the Online Members' Website, too. This will be a fluid directory as new members join, they will be added to the directory, as people move, their information will be updated. It will be a wonderful tool for our parish!
IMPORTANT INFO: ****When you update your info and click save it will sent to me to approve or reject the changes. Make sure you have all the updates in there you want before you click save, because once you do that you won't be able to get back into your account to make changes until I approve your submission.*****
This is a very secure site. As you can see, if you don't have an email address in the system, you cannot create an account with St. Pius X on it. Your information is protected. We would love for everyone to have their contact information listed so we have the ability to contact each other. Make sure to get your photo uploaded or submitted to me so we can all put names and faces together.
Speaking of photos... You have options for photos, upload or submit one that you already have. We know many people already have family photos taken, so you can use one of those. It can be a professional photo, However, it doesn't have to be a professionally taken photo, if you have a nice photo you took of your family recently, use that! We just ask that no one is wearing sunglasses in the photo and it is relatively close up so we can see your faces, and it's not blurry.
Don't have a photo? No problem!We will take it for you; and you don't have to buy anything! We will have photography stations set up in Pius Hall on Saturdays November 9th and December 7th, with refreshments and games so you can hang out for a little while if you like & Sundays November 10th and December 8th during the Sunday Morning Social. No appointment required, just show up and we will snap a quick pic for you. There will be a sheet to fill out to go with the picture if you have not yet logged into the site. So even if you don't have a photo to upload, be sure to log into the site!
And finally, a questions I know you have on your mind, "But Karissa, I want a hard copy, will we be able to get one printed?" The short answer is yes, the long answer is, not for a little while. It will be the middle of 2025 before we will print any copies of the directory. It is going to take a bit to get everyone in the system and all of the photos uploaded and things sorted out.
Goals:
At least 10% of our families have logged in and upload photos by Thanksgiving. That equates to approximately 150 households. Will you be one of the 10%?
At least 20% of our families have logged in and uploaded photos by Christmas. That is around 300 households.
Finally, we are stretching our goal to the new year, by the end of January can we want 50% of our registered families to logged in and upload a photo!
The sooner you log in, the sooner you will have access to the directory!
