St. Pius V Church was established in 1860 in Cohocton, a village in Steuben County. Initially served from St. Mary in Bath, the parish received its first resident pastor in 1880. The present church building was dedicated on October 27, 1918.

Father William F. Frank served for 22 years from 1929 until his death in 1951. Father Herbert L. Sturmer continued with a 16-year pastorate. Today, St. Pius V is part of the Holy Family Catholic Community cluster, serving Catholics in the rural Southern Tier.
