Community

If you’re looking for fellowship, we’ve got you covered. We host youth groups for high schoolers and middle schoolers, provide support groups and bible studies for women and men, and even have community garden plots for rent. That’s in addition to parish-wide events hosted throughout the year. 


Not seeing what you need on this page? One of the best ways to become a member of community is by serving common interests. We have opportunities to serve the Lord, our parish, our community, and even the world. There’s a place for everyone at Pax Christi!

  • Bridge Group

    Our Bridge Group provides an opportunity for socialization with other members of our community. Bridge is a trick-taking card game using a standard 52-card deck. In its basic format, it is played by four players in two competing partnerships, with partners sitting opposite each other around a table. All are welcome, singles and couples. We meet on the first Monday of the month from 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. in the Great Hall. Contact Terry Neuhalfen at 303-791-3850 for more information or to join. 

  • Card-Making Ministry

    We meet once every month to create hand-made greeting cards for the parish staff to send to members as needed. Examples include sympathy cards, thank you cards, birthday cards, and more. Bring your card-making supplies, or use ours! In addition to spreading the love of Christ to those who receive our cards, this ministry is also a great way to make new friends and flex your creativity. Feel free to stop by one of our meetings on the 1st Wednesday of the Month from 1-3PM in the Great Hall, or contact Molly Lecheler or Mary Ellen McMillan for more information.

  • Connections Ministry

Ministers introduce new members to fellow parishioners, provide information about Pax Christi ministries and faith formation opportunities, give a Pax Christi campus tour, and answer questions.

  • Point Men

    Point Men helps men grow in spirituality and faith while developing friendships. We also strive to develop disciples who go out and teach other men ways to deal with the adverse effects of modern-day society through the fellowship of other men’s experiences. A typical agenda includes 10-15 minutes of fellowship and breakfast, introduction and opening prayer, a 20-30 minute video, a 20-30 minute small group discussion, and closing prayer/dismissal. We invite all adult men to join us on Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. For more information or to join, contact Alan Brown at 720-560-3357.
