The Priestly Society of Saint Pius X, founded with full canonical approval by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1970, is a missionary order, dedicated to the preservation of the traditionally-formed Catholic Priesthood, and to the primary mission of the Catholic Church, the salvation of souls. The objective of any missionary is to go wherever the Catholic Faith needs to be brought to the people.
In a world that has abandoned the Faith in an unprecedented apostasy and where many who retain the name of Catholic cannot be counted on to believe even the simplest truths of the Apostolic Faith, the need for the Missionary Spirit is dire. The Society of Saint Pius X does what little it can to fill this need. St. Thomas Becket Roman Catholic Church is not a "Parish" properly so called, it is rather a Mission Church, established to bring the traditional Catholic Faith, the Mass, and the Sacraments to those who desperately seek them. However, our congregation does function much like a Parish in many ways.	Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre
The Priests of the Society are dedicated to the use of only the traditional rites of the Roman Catholic Liturgy universally used in the Church before Vatican Council II, and it maintains all of the traditional teachings, practices, devotions, and doctrines of Holy Mother Church as well.
