Welcome to our 1966-2016 50th Reunion St Pius X BLOG!

 1966 was a great year... in fact, in the view of many those four years most of us shared from 1962 to 1966 were great years. Of course we experienced the full roller coaster of emotions and hormones and thought and learning and physical activity and sport and after school activities that in some ways were little templates we employed as we went out into the big world out there and "got a life"....

This blog is intended to be a meeting place of sorts, for those who may enjoy that. Any of our Reunion Team members may put up a post from time to time and any and all are welcome to leave a comment.... It is our hope that this little tool may be of use, a peaceful spot, and enjoyable.... 

We invite everyone to show brilliantly the countless enduring values we received from the Sisters of Sainte Anne and the Christian Brothers of Ireland and all the wonderful lay teachers and staff who were so generously at our service all those years ago.

Peace to you and your families, wherever you now find yourself, and welcome to our next reunion, for our 50th Anniversary, next May 28th on a Saturday in 2016. Further details will be coming by email, so feel free to contact our Reunion Team at          stpiusxclassof1966@gmail.com              :)
