When Ruth Jones passed away in 2019, Deacon Mike and his family wanted to establish a legacy in their beloved wife and mother’s honor. They quickly realized that St. Pius X Catholic High School, an institution so important to their family’s history, would be the ideal place to honor Ruth.
Deacon Mike and Ruth had become very active in the St. Pius community when their children were students, attending lots of social and athletic activities, and volunteering their time. They grew in faith influenced by the people they came to know at St. Pius. Mike was ordained a deacon in 1987 and Ruth became a certified Spiritual Director a few years later. These vocations allowed them to continue to share their faith with other people in the church.
This fund, named in memory of Ruth Jones and in honor of Deacon Mike Jones and their family, supports scholarships for students so that they may experience the St. Pius X Catholic School traditions of Family, Faith, and Service that meant so much to the Joneses.
