Congratulations new pastoral council members:
The Pax Christi Pastoral Council will have two new members starting in June. The Holy Spirit was truly in our midst as we discerned 6 wonderful candidates all bringing a rich spirituality and passion for the Catholic Church in the community of Pax Christi. We were collectively brought to the gifts and willingness of Scott Ladwig and Barbara Schuh who will add depths of diversity that is important to the breadth and function of the Pastoral Council. Congratulations to both Scott and Barb for their willingness to serve.
The Pax Christi Parish also wishes to thank Julie Andrist and Randy Horlocker for their service on the Pastoral Council these past years. We have been blessed with these two people for the commitment, engagement and service they provided our community. They will be missed but we very sincerely say Thank You for what they have done.

A Daily Spiritual Reflection
St. Paul instructs us to "pray always". As Catholics we are encouraged to pray, receive the sacraments and serve the Lord in all that we do. An important and necessary practice to enrich our prayer and service experiences is to engage in a daily Reflection. Presented here is a weblink to Sacred Space, a website featuring a daily prayer to reflect on.
