Hello Parents, Families, and Parishioners,
Trunk-or-Treat Thank You
Thank you to all who came out for the Trunk-or-Treat event this past Sunday. It was great to see so many kids in costumes and creative trunks! We'd love to get your feedback, send us your thoughts HERE.
November Family Formation Nights
Over the course of this school year we will be offering four different Family Formation Nights (with the option of attending on Sunday or Wednesday each of the four times). These nights are for all families at Pax Christi whether they are registered in faith formation or not. This month's focus is Scripture. If you couldn't come last month you can still come this month! We won't meet again until February.
Peace,
Zach Rawson, Director of Children, Youth, & Family Ministry
Michelle Todd, Coordinator of Children's Ministry
