Welcome to Youth Ministry!

Welcome to Youth Ministry! 


We believe every teen deserves a life-changing relationship with Jesus, an opportunity to grow in friendships, be formed as a disciple, and sent out to transform the world. 


Teens, we are so excited to meet you & journey with you on this faith adventure. Parents, we appreciate your support and encouraging your teen's involvement. Parishioners, get ready to jump on board with volunteer opportunities. There's a place for everyone in Pax Christi Youth Ministry! 


Get ready for epic memories, life-changing moments, and faith-filled opportunities.

Ascend

Middle School

FOR ALL YOUTH GRADES 6-8

SELECT FRIDAY EVENINGS, OCTOBER - MAY

7:00 - 8:30 PM


Middle School can be a big transition for many youth. They are embarking on many changes in academic settings, peers, responsibilities at home and school, as well as the activities and hobbies in which they participate. It is a time when they need to explore their faith, build community with others, and grow in their relationship with Jesus. Ascend evenings will bring a whole new element to the idea of a 'church' community. These sessions will be a terrific way for middle schoolers to wrap up the week and dive into their faith, build their relationship with Christ, develop faith-based friendships, and share in prayer experiences.

Elevate evenings are jammed packed with faith-filled topics, music, fellowship, catechesis, fun, prayer, games, skits, interactive and experiential opportunities for service, learning, faith-development, and a multitude of awesome things, along with dinner.
