A Calling to Leadership is an invitation to all baptized members of Pax Christi to discern for a Council. According to the Closing Reflection from Vatican II, Apostolate of the Laity, “We ask that you make a willing, noble, and enthusiastic response to God’s call. Christ is calling you! The spirit is urging you. Welcome this call with an eager heart and a generous spirit.”
Council leadership at Pax Christi reflects callings at every stage of life. Adults are called. Youth are called too. Members bring their own unique gifts, and talents to leadership. There is a spirit of collegiality, inclusion, and openness at Pax Christi. Servant Leadership is at the heart of our Councils. We reach a decision to serve through Prayer, Reflection, and Community Affirmation.
After you fill out the Discernment Form, you will be invited to attend gatherings to learn more about serving on a Pax Christi Council. Watch for details. If you have questions, please contact Scott Brazil at sbrazil@paxchristi.com, at 952-405-7230 or sbrazil@paxchristi.com.
