Welcome to PAX Youth! 

PAX Youth, the vibrant youth ministry of Mary, Queen of Peace, is dedicated to fostering life-changing encounters with Jesus Christ. Rooted in the Latin word for "peace," PAX Youth provides teens in 7th through 12th grade with opportunities to grow in community and their faith through three key experiences: Reach Nights (monthly gatherings for fellowship and fun); Rise Nights (praise, worship, and prayer to deepen personal relationships with Jesus); and Rooted Groups (small, supportive communities for intentional discipleship). Additionally, we offer Rekindle Experiences—retreats, conferences, pilgrimages, and other off-campus opportunities designed to reignite the fire of faith. Together, we journey toward becoming intentional disciples, grounded in faith, and committed to living out our mission of peace, hospitality, and transformation.
