Requiescat in pace...

Frank A. Livoti

It is with great sorrow from our loss but great gratitude for all the blessings given by his life to our family that we announce the passing of our Dad from this life to eternal life on Saturday March 24.

Please come and celebrate the life of Frank A. Livoti, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and brother with us.

He was a loving husband of 63 years, a great dad of 4 sons, and a really good man.


Thomas F. Livoti, MDiv., LCSW-R, was in the first high school graduating class at St.Pius X in 1968

This first picture was taken 4/21/63 at the Gonzaga Jesuit Retreat House, Monroe, NY. I don't remember our retreat master's name, but I'm sure you all recognize our "chaperone", Father Peter Chiara, to the far right. It was the "senior retreat" for the Class of '63.

The second picture was of another retreat, this one was at St. Ignatius Retreat House (Inisfada), Manhasset, NY, 11/19/64. We were now "sophomores" in the college at St. Pius. Father Barry was our spiritual director, kneeling on the far left. In case you are wondering how I was able to "name" all the faces in both pictures, well, a lot of them I actually remembered! For the rest, I still have my copy of the 1962 and 1963 yearbooks and was able to identify the ones I couldn't remember. Now all we have to do is find all these people... Bill Coady '63

Your prayers requested...

Mike Simms '80 oldest son Ryan is suffering from a rare Liver disease called Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis. Ryan has been in the hospital for a while. At this point everyone's prayers are needed especially during the Christmas season. Decisions by Mike and his wife Marie might be difficult. Maybe there is someone who might be able to answer some of Mikes' medical questions or if you want to send him best wishes....his email address is .

CLASS OF '62 50TH REUNION

Fratres,

June 2012 marks the 50th year since we graduated from Pius X Preparatory Seminary.

I invite you to take part in a project marking the passage of that half century.

In 1962 we could not see what lay before us. Now, perhaps, we can review what is behind us.

I am asking you to trace your interior journey since that June, especially in terms of what you believed then and what you believe now, how your views of life and God and the RCC have changed, deepened, departed, etc.: your beliefs then, now and in between.

Were there milestones in the journey? Do you recall people, experiences, books, classes, etc. that you now see as pivotal for you?

Would you be willing to do that review in 1200 words or less and email the essay to me? My plan is to gather these recollections, perhaps organize them thematically, proof and edit if necessary and if you are not insulted, and create a CD that all of us can share.

Do you remember...

Invitation to the Dedication of St. Pius X - 1961

Invitation to the 2nd Annual Commencement Ceremony at St. Pius X - 1965

Surely everybody recognizes the picture to the left, taken 11/15/2011. Yes, the proud lady still stands erect. But what about the following recent pictures of what should be familiar sights to many of us. Granted, time has not be too kind to any of these structures, but who remembers what they use to be and their relative importance to anyone who had attended St. Pius. If your memory fails you, just hover over the picture for the "answer".
