- 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.

- Reach Nights
  Reach Nights are monthly fun evenings with food, games, and a good time! These nights are all about building community and making memories together. Bring your friends, because everyone is welcome! Whether you're hanging out over dinner or competing in friendly games, this is the perfect chance to connect, take a break, and enjoy a lighthearted night of fun.
  Rise Nights
  Rise Nights are weekly opportunities to deepen your relationship with Jesus. Each night features praise and worship, testimony sharing, and intentional prayer. Once a month, we’ll gather for Eucharistic adoration. Come ready to grow spiritually and be a part of an intentional community where we lift each other up and focus on drawing closer to God.
  Rooted Groups
  Rooted Groups are small groups where teens can explore their faith in a more intimate setting. Led by mentors, these groups meet regularly to discuss their faith, ask questions, and grow together. It's a space open to deep conversation and spiritual growth. If you're looking for a place to get connected and build a strong foundation in your faith, we invite you to sign up for a Rooted group.
  Rekindle Experiences
  Rekindle Experiences are the retreats, conferences, pilgrimages, and other on or off-campus opportunities designed to reignite the fire of faith. Look out for these experiences throughout the year and get ready for an experience that nourishes your relationship with Jesus.
