The St. Pius X Seminary Community gathered in prayer and thanksgiving as it joined the Church in celebrating the Season of Creation, a time to recognize the beauty and goodness of God’s creation and renew our shared responsibility to care for our home.
The Holy Mass was celebrated on September 16, 2026, at the SPXS chapel due to unexpected weather changes, and was presided over by the Very Rev. Fr. Jaime Noel B. Deslate, Psy.D., Vice Rector of St. Pius X Seminary alongside seminary formators and priests from the Samoa Islands and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Attended the mass were the parents of the seminarians and other visitors who joined the community in prayer. Their presence made the celebration a beautiful expression of the Church’s unity and shared responsibility in caring for the gift of creation.
May this celebration remind us that creation is not merely something to be admired, but a gift entrusted to us by the God, calling each of us to gratitude, stewardship, and love for God's creation.
