Welcome!

On behalf of the parishioners and staff, welcome to Pax Christi Catholic Church! We hope that your visit to our online home will help you to feel at home when you visit our parish. Our lively liturgies aim to build up your spirit and support your worship of our Triune God as we proclaim the Word, celebrate with the Eucharist, and sing our praises for the Kingdom of God. Our Sunday celebration of the Mass leads us into the world in social justice and outreach to the poor. We support parishioners with so many ministries, including faith formation, youth and young adult ministry, and care for the sick and elderly. Many of our parishioners take part in the Rochester Catholic Schools. Spend sometime on the website to acquaint yourself with the parish and stop on in!
In the meantime, you are in our prayers.

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Will Thompson
