Director's Message
As a nation in November we celebrate Thanksgiving! The Greek word eucharist literally means thanksgiving. This month, on top of giving thanks for friends, family, and all the things we have, make sure you set aside time to give praise and thanks to God. Maybe pray the Our Father three times each day (morning, noon, night) and ask the Father to reveal His will for you. Spend some extra time in the presence of the Son in Eucharistic Adoration... there is no greater gift than being able to be united with him in His presence (body, blood, soul, and divinity) in the Eucharist, maybe try to make it to an extra daily Mass a few times this month, Pax Christi has Mass at 5:30 pm every Wednesday now! Ask the Holy Spirit to renew all that needs to be made new again in your life, let Him enter into your passions and see how He can transform you!
This year, please know, we are thankful for you and for your presence in our lives.
From all of us here in Youth Ministry at Pax Christi.
Peace!
Don't forget Thursday is a Holy Day of Obligation! Masses will be held at 9 am and 7 pm... or... come to the VIGIL MASS ON WEDNESDAY AT 5:30 PM, plenty of time for Trick-or-Treating after Mass!
