In order to try and minister to as many people as possible, Pax Christi offers three options to participate in Mass:

1. Livestream

Sunday 7:30 am - Watch Mass from your home on our Pax Christi YouTube channel. .

Daily Mass

2. Livestream + Communion

Watch the Sunday 7:30 am livestream Mass on your own device in the Pax Christi parking lot. Immediately after Mass, enter church through the double glass doors and receive Communion. Parishioners may attend each week. You do not need a reservation.

3. In-Person Mass

Parishioners may register and attend Mass Saturday 5:15 pm or Sunday 7:30 am, 9:00 am, or 10:45 am. Seating is limited; parishioners must register in advance.

From Bishop John Quinn:

“The obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains dispensed until further notice.
We care deeply for our parishioners, and cannot offer a 100% safe option to attend Mass. Persons over 65 or with preexisting conditions are strongly encouraged to not attend a public celebration of the Mass."

All Covid-19 positive persons, those who are symptomatic, and those living with them must stay home.
