Pax Christi El Paso was founded in 2002 by local Catholics at the suggestion of the Promoter of Peace and Justice for the Diocese of El Paso.  It serves as a local forum for the study of and public witness to Christian non-violence.  In addition to other local like-minded organizations, we join with Pax Christi Texas, Pax Christi USA and Pax Christi International in this effort.
 
Pax Christi International was founded in 1945 with the encouragement of French and German bishops as a Christian lay organization dedicated to preventing a repetition of the savagery of the twentieth century’s world wars.

Pax Christi El Paso contributes to building peace and justice by exploring and articulating the ideal of Christian nonviolence and by striving to apply it to personal life and the structures of society.  Pax Christi El Paso invites Catholics and other concerned individuals to respond to the Church’s call to reject war and other forms of violence and domination and to take an active role in making secure a peace based on justice and love.
