The existing church building was dedicated on May 19, 1974 which also commemorated the May 19, 1954 canonization of our parish&#8217;s patron saint, Saint Pius X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Divine Liturgy was penned by Saint John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople in the 5th century. Today this same Liturgy is celebrated almost entirely in English.
