PAX WEEK Middle School Service Week June 16th - 20th
The Middle School Service Week is a dedicated week of service designed for middle school students entering grades 6–8 in the upcoming school year who are eager to make a meaningful impact on their world. Rooted in the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, the program includes opportunities for students to attend Mass, reflect on the central theme, and participate in engaging activities.
From there, students will take their faith into action by serving the people of Rochester, demonstrating God’s love through tangible acts of service. The primary goal is to help students grow closer to Jesus Christ while fostering a compassionate heart for serving others.

TEC (Together Encountering Christ) Retreat
TEC is a diocesan spiritual movement for older teens and young adults. It begins with a retreat weekend filled with dynamic reflections, music, sacraments, adoration, small group dialogue, and prayer. Afterwards, the TEC community evolves into a network of support that both reinforces parish involvement and personal spiritual growth. TEC leads participants to integrate Christ’s Paschal Mystery (dying, rising, and going forth) at a time of passage through young adulthood. Visit this diocesan webpage for more information
