A group of our volunteers goes on Wednesdays and Fridays to the Food Bank of the Rockies to help repackage food for local non-profit charities.  Three hours of service at the food bank will purchase twenty pounds of food for the Aurora Catholic Charities Food Bank.  Each year, our donated service hours provides anywhere from 5-10 percent of the available food at the Aurora Catholic Charities.

Our Parish has a long-standing partnership with Aurora Catholic Charities.   Our Parish works hard to provide Aurora Catholic Charities with a monthly stipend and with weekly food donations.  It is the largest they receive from any of the other area Parishes.  We also provide them with regular volunteers and ongoing food donations.  Catholic Charities, in turn, provides aid to many of the struggling families in the Aurora area, helping them with food, rental assistance, and other services.

St. Vincent de Paul Society: Our parish has a SVDP Conference that annually provides some $19,000 in Emergency Assistance. We help local families when they are short on their rent and utility bills as well as help folks buy needed food and medicines. Volunteers help meet and take emergency assistance calls from needy families (720) 326-5137.

Our SVDP Conference is also very involved in the parish Christmas Basket Project. We also collect School supplies for three of the local neighborhood schools each August and collect Summer Survival Supplies for Aurora’s homeless the Aurora Warms the Night (AWTN) homelessness prevention program.  Our St. Vincent DP Society also runs the Summer Lunch Program for Neighborhood Kids each year.

The Respect Life Group at St. Pius works directly in supporting the efforts of local respect life programs like the Aurora Gabriel House and the Women’s Lighthouse Pregnancy Support Center aiding them by hosting occasional collections or fundraisers. They are active in their political efforts around Respect-life issues and regularly attend the Masses and Rosaries held outside of the Planned Parenthood Center in the 38th and Quebec area. Our Respect Life members also meet on Sunday mornings in church to pray the Rosary for the victims of abortion and for conversion of hearts.

Our Respect Life sponsors educational events in January around the Anniversary of Roe v. Wade, in June during the annual Fortnight for Religious Liberty Campaign and in May during the month dedicated to our Lady. These educational campaigns will feature special Adoration times to pray for a change of heart around Respect Life issues.

Giving Tree: This program goes up the middle of November where parishioners can pick an ornament with a gift request.  

Adopt-A-Family Project:  Some families also choose to "Adopt a Family" for Christmas. They decide to sponsor an individual family themselves.  They receive the name of the family in need from the Parish Office and with a description of the make-up of that family. The sponsoring family agrees to provide a gift or two for each of the family members and provide that family with enough food for at least one week.
