Volunteer Opportunities

We love our volunteers! Volunteers are critical to the activities and life of St. Pius X School. We offer abundant opportunities for participation and encourage every family to become involved. No job is too small. No time commitment is too short. Our volunteer opportunities come in different shapes and sizes. Everyone is needed to help us be all that we can be!

Because student safety and well-being is the priority of RCS and the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, all volunteers are required to take part in the “VIRTUS: Protecting God’s Children” volunteer training program. The school also requires a background check on file. Please contact Sue Hyke at shyke@rcsmn.org with any questions. Click here to learn more.
