Good Morning Pax Christi Youth Ministry Family,
I just have a brief update for you today. I'll send out details about our final Wednesday Game Night tomorrow.
First, the parish is working on plans to resume public Masses. We will be sure to let you know as soon as we know any details.
Second, tonight we are hosting a Zoom call for any high school students who might be interested in giving input about topics and/or themes for next year's Unite Masses. Simply join us from 7-8:30 pm at this link:
That's all for now. Stay tuned for more tomorrow. Enjoy the resource below from last week.
Peace,
Zach

“Just another day in the pandemic” is now my go-to response when asked how I’m doing. Whether we compare current times to the movie Groundhog Day or feel nothing is stable, we share at least one thing in common: our lives have changed over the past few months.

This, in our opinion is a "must read" for parents with children of all ages.
