At Pax Christi, we recognize that a powerful way to encounter our faith is through service to others. It is a concrete experience of the values we profess and the living out of the directive that God gave each of us through our Baptisms. Our community strives to offer these chances to encounter faith for all people, and especially our younger community members. This summer we are excited to offer several ways to learn, serve, and have fun together! And these opportunities are not just for the youth! Each is an opportunity for our young at heart members as well. Those adults who are involved, beyond allowing the program to take place, act as role models for the youth participants who see these values lived out. It offers an opportunity for meaningful connection between the participants and the adult leaders.Program information is provided below. If you have any questions, please contact the Parish Office at 952-941-3150 or contact the program director listed with the individual program below.
