who we are
Pax Christi is an international Catholic peace movement rooted in the Gospel call to nonviolence and the dignity of every person. It brings together people committed to prayer, study, and action for justice—working to end war, racism, nuclear arms, and all forms of violence. Pax Christi chapters create spaces for reflection, community, and courageous conversations that help us respond faithfully to the crises of our time. Our mission is to build a world shaped by compassion, solidarity, and the peace of Christ.
