St. Pius X Catholic Church

About this church

St. Pius X Catholic Church is an Urbandale parish founded in 1955 as the local Catholic population expanded. Its first Masses were held in a roller rink before the parish developed its church, school, and current campus. Mass, reconciliation, Eucharistic Adoration, Catholic formation, youth discipleship, parish school, and service—including first-Thursday meals for unhoused and hungry guests at Des Moines’ Connection Café—shape parish life today.

Weekend Mass begins Saturday at 5:00 p.m. and Sunday at 7:00, 9:00, and 11:00 a.m. Daily Mass is Monday through Friday at 8:15 a.m., with an additional 5:15 p.m. Mass Tuesday through Thursday. Confession is Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. and Friday at 9:00 a.m.; Friday confession is face-to-face near the Blessed Virgin Mary statue rather than in a confessional. Wednesday Adoration runs from 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with a first-Wednesday exception after the evening Mass. High School Discipleship meets Wednesday from 7:30 to 9:00 except third-Wednesday Family Program nights; first Wednesdays are structured differently for confirmation students. Families should consult the program calendar for grade-specific dates.
