Pax Christi Church

Pax Christi Church Pax Christi is a Eucharistic community united to continue the mission and message of Jesus. I am the pastor, Fr. Fr. John

On behalf of the good people of Pax Christi Parish, I'd like to welcome you to our page and our faith community. John Sauer, who shares the mission of Jesus with a talented and caring staff. Founded in 1973, we are a Eucharistic community committed to living the mission and message of Jesus. When Jesus appeared to his disciples on Easter he said, Peace be with you.” We share this peace w

ith our community. Through our vibrant faith formation, youth and young adult ministry as well as the Rochester Catholic Schools we encounter the Lord. In our liturgies we are transformed to become the hands and feet of Christ. And in our social justice ministry and outreach to the poor we share the love of Christ. I'd like to invite you to pray, sing and celebrate with us and experience Christ alive in this community and in your life.

We'll see you this evening (rain or shine) for our 1st Picnic of the Summer! The picnic will be held inside (in the dining hall) this evening - due to showers/thunderstorms in the forecast.
We invite you to bring an appetizer or dessert to share. Invite a neighbor or friend to join you! See you tonight and bring your appetite!

In our Gospel today Jesus tells us to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect. A tall order but Jesus never asks us to do something that is not possible.
We have Pax Week this week and I shared with the students that one of the ways we do that is by listening to Jesus' other command in the Gospel today - Love your enemy as yourself.
Here's a little checklist.
