At Pax Christi we are blessed to have so many people who recognize that everything we have comes to us as a gift from our generous and loving God, those who are willing to live the Stewardship Way of Life, thanking God for all the blessings and gifts received.

I invite you to join many of your fellow parishioners and joyfully return a portion of the TIME, TALENT and TREASURE entrusted to your care.

13 Catechetical Learning (Faith Formation) Children

Children's Ministry at Pax Christi Pax Christi offers multiple opportunities for children and families to develop their Catholic faith. We offer faith formation for children two nights each week and during our weekend Masses. Also, we provide meaningful and fun programs throughout the year that strive to deepen a families' connection to one another and our Church.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (3 yrs. old - 5th grade) Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Catholic faith formation program; our curriculum is rooted in the Bible, Catechism of the , and our Mass. We utilize Montessori methods to nurture each child's relationship with God while educating them about the pillars of the Church. Children meet in a specially prepared room with materials to aid their learning experience, this room is know as an atrium. Each week children freely work with materials, participate in small group lessons with a trained catechist and engage in prayer time. Catechists participate in a nationally recognized training program to familiarize themselves with the curriculum and learn more about Montessori principles. We offer this program on Mondays and Wednesdays, pease refer to the website or call the Church office for to enroll. Jessica Scully 282-8542 ext. 105 * VIRTUS required

14 Catechetical Learning (Faith Formation) Children

Children's Ministry Activities (ages vary, up to 5th grade) Throughout the year we offer a variety of multi-age activities for families with young and school age children. We have a Nativity program during Advent and Stations of the Cross during Lent, as well as service and learning opportunities throughout the year. We encourage you to read the bulletin for more specific information about all of the possibilities available to all children & families. Jessica Scully 282-8542 ext. 105 Amelia Smith 282-8542 ext. 106

Kingdom Kids (1st - 5th grade) Kingdom Kids is a traditional faith formation program that uses the We Believe series from Sadlier Publishers. Children in 1st to 5th grades meet in a classroom on Monday evenings, 4:45-5:45 pm or 6:30-7:30 pm. Sessions include a welcome, Scripture, connection to life, and prayer. The same group of children and adults meet throughout the school year to engage in a variety of creative learning opportunities. Our emphasis is placed upon the Four Pillars of the Catholic Faith: 1. What We Believe (The Apostle's Creed) 2. How We Worship (The Sacraments) 3. How We Live (The Ten Commandments and Beatitudes) 4. Prayer Kingdom Kids participate in specialty activities and programs including monthly prayer services created by children, the creation of a Kingdom Kids prayer book, and service projects for the poor. Amelia Smith 282-8542 ext. 106

15 Catechetical Learning (Faith Formation) Children Liturgy of the Word for Children (3 years old - 1st grade) Liturgy of the Word for Children is a celebration of each Sunday's to help young children understand the Word of God. LOW is offered at the 5:15 pm Saturday and 10:45 am Sunday Mass for children age 3 to 1st grade. Children leave Mass with a leader before the readings and explore the Scripture at their level. They return after Father's , enabling them to participate in the remainder of the Mass. Amelia Smith 282-8542 ext. 106 * VIRTUS required

Reconciliation and Eucharist Preparation (2nd grade and older) The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a healing Sacrament that offers us an experience of God's boundless mercy. It frees us from our own sins but challenges us to have the same compassion and forgiveness for those who sin against us. The Eucharist, like Baptism, is a Sacrament of Initiation where God shares his holiness with us, so that we can share it with the world around us.

We offer preparation for these two Sacraments to everyone in second grade and older at church through Catechesis of the Good Shepherd or Kingdom Kids. Those who attend Catholic School receive their weekly preparation during their regular school day. Children and parents from all three programs come together several times a year for community-wide activities. We prepare children for both sacraments beginning in September, traditionally celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation in December and First Eucharist in April. All are welcome! Jessica Scully 282-8542 ext. 105 Amelia Smith 282-8542 ext. 106

16 Catechetical Learning (Faith Formation) Children Summer Church Camp (K – 5th grade) Every year during the last full week in June, Pax hosts a truly Catholic summer camp for children in grades K-5. We begin with daily Mass, then enjoy a lesson, prayer, dramatic play, crafts, and games. Camp is held M-F, 8:30 am - noon. For 2016, our dates are June 20-24. Volunteers are always needed - middle school, high school, and adults are welcome! Joyce Lehman 282-8542 ext. 108 * VIRTUS required

Sunday School (3, 4, 5 years old and kindergarten age) Sunday School is held during the 9:00 am Mass in the lower level of the church. It is a Bible-based program using RCL Benziger's Stories of God's Love. We tell Bible and contemporary stories to connect the Scripture to the everyday life experience of a child. Children create crafts, sing, and play games which celebrate the Catholic Church and its values. A highlight of each year is our Christmas program. Amelia Smith 282-8542 ext. 106 * VIRTUS required

17 Catechetical Learning (Faith Formation) Youth PROOF (6th – 12th grade)

Our Mission & Vision We strive to form disciples of Christ and His Church, through a unified vision for ministry to young people, from early adolescence through young adulthood.

Pax Christi Youth Ministry's Mission Statement is inspired by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' vision for youth ministry here in the American Church.

Three interdependent and equally important goals guide the Church's ministry with adolescents. These goals state what it means for the Catholic community to respond to the needs of young people and to involve young people in sharing their unique gifts with the larger community. They express the Church's focus for ministry with adolescents, while encouraging local creativity in developing the programs, activities, and strategies to reach these goals:

1. To empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today. 2. To draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community. 3. To foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person.

18 Catechetical Learning (Faith Formation) Youth

PROOF (6th – 12th grade) PROOF is the name of Pax Christi’s faith formation for middle school and high school students. The name comes from the fact that our gathering together is PROOF that Christ is alive and active in our lives; he is inviting us to seek him everyday and encouraging us to live as his disciples in the world. Dana Petricka 282-8542 ext. 107 Zach Rawson 282-8542 ext. 126

"When you have received him, stir up your heart to do him homage; speak to him about your spiritual life, gazing upon him in your soul where he is present for your happiness; welcome him as warmly as possible, and behave outwardly in such a way that your actions may give PROOF to all of his presence." -Saint Francis de Sales

PROOF: 6th and 7th Grade Focus (Wednesdays) These two years of our lives are all about transition. All of our efforts focus on assisting our young students as they navigate changes in their lives. Sixth and seventh graders engage in both large and small group style faith formation which includes: prayer; witness talks; multimedia presentations; games; discussion; activities; etc… The content of our evenings together will comes from Edge, a curriculum published by LifeTeen. Zach Rawson 282-8542 ext. 126 * VIRTUS required

19 Catechetical Learning (Faith Formation) Youth PROOF: 8th Grade Focus (Wednesdays) Eighth grade year continue to utilize the Edge curriculum and looks very similar to the sixth and seventh grade faith formation experience. However, at this stage in life we begin taking a deeper look at Christian morality, relationships, and human sexuality. The second half of our eighth grade year utilizes a curriculum called Theology of the Body for Teens. We talk all about the beautiful gift of our bodies and the Church’s magnificent teaching on human love and the divine plan articulated so very clearly by Saint John Paul II. Zach Rawson 282-8542 ext. 126

* VIRTUS required PROOF: Confirmation Focus (Sundays) Throughout the Confirmation process, our goal is to provide a real and living encounter with the Lord Jesus and His Holy Catholic Church. The Confirmation program at Pax Christi is a two year program. Typically, year one of Confirmation preparation begins in the fall of the 9th grade year and year two runs through the spring of the 10th grade year. Students are typically Confirmed in 10th grade after completing the two years of preparation. Utilizing Chosen and YDisciple, each student is led into a deeper relationship with Christ through a small group relationship and is equipped to make an adult decision to choose (or not choose) the Sacrament of Confirmation. This Sacrament empowers students with the completion of Baptismal grace and the fullness of the gifts of the Holy Spirit as to be living witnesses of Christ Himself. Beyond Confirmation, the graces manifested will propel students into a strengthening in the bond of the Church and Her mission: “...to make disciples of all nations” (Matthew. 28:19), just as the Twelve Apostles were commissioned by Jesus in the Gospel. Watch out, world! Dana Petricka 282-8542 ext. 107

* VIRTUS required 20 Catechetical Learning (Faith Formation) Youth PROOF: High School Focus (Wednesdays & Sundays) In high school we begin to shift faith formation efforts increasingly towards the small group setting. In particular, we focus very intentionally on developing strong prayer lives, accountability among peers, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be disciples. We begin with a large group focus with the eventual goal of establishing smaller groups. In addition, discipleship is, in part, about leadership. We offer students the opportunity to lead their younger middle school peers and to put into practice that which they are coming to know and experience. Ultimately, we hope these years will launch young people into a relationship with Christ and his Church that will last well beyond high school and give them the tools, skills, knowledge, etc… to be Jesus’ lifelong disciples, living saints. YDisciple is a resource and a tool which assists us in this discipleship process. * VIRTUS required Zach Rawson 282-8542 ext. 126 Extracurricular Activities/Events We offer multiple opportunities during the school year and summer for students to get involved in addition to faith formation. We call those opportunities “extracurriculars,” they include all of the below and then some!

22 Catechetical Learning (Faith Formation) Young Adults Rochester Area Catholic Young Adult Ministry (Young Adults ages 18-39) Young Adult Ministry is an integral part of our parish wide initiatives. Activities include prayer, Bible Study, small group discussions, sports, and socials.

Rochester Area Young Catholics is an apostolate of the parishes in the Rochester Area. We are currently led by staff from four of those parishes: Dana Petricka, Pax Christi; Megan Rodriguez, St. ; Georges Montillet from The Church of the Resurrection; and Matthew Edens, St. Fransis of Assisi. The four of us work together with our leadership team made up of young adults from all over the area. We collaborate to offer the best opportunities for all young adults in their 20s and 30s whether single or married, have children, don't have children, are discerning a religious vocation, are Catholic, or not Catholic.

Our mission flows from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops for young adult ministry which reads as follows: Ministry to and with young adults is an intentional outreach of the Catholic Church. Successful ministry with these men and women achieves four basic goals:

To connect young adults to:  God through Jesus Christ  the Church and the Christian community  the mission of the Church in the world  a peer community to further support and nurture their faith

Our Mission to invite young adults into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ by: engaging in the sacramental life of the Church; further study/catechesis; and fostering authentic friendships rooted in holiness.
