Pax Christi USA Local Groups:
Pax Christi Local Groups consist of three or more persons registered as Pax Christi USA members with the National Office who come together to pray, study, and act for peace with justice. Local groups hold regular meetings and welcome new Pax Christi USA members into the group. Local groups are a vital part of Pax Christi USA's identity as a grassroots movement. They often initiate projects making links between global and local injustice and are instrumental in implementing Pax Christi USA projects at the local level.

Some of the benefits enjoyed by a local group include: four issues per year of The Organizer, Pax Christi USA's prayer-study-action resource ; discounts on Pax Christi USA sale items; access to grants (up to $300 annually) for special projects and outreach efforts through Pax Christi USA's Development Fund; access to computer printouts and/or mailing labels of Pax Christi USA members within their locale; access to national staff personnel for consultation and as speakers; the opportunity to participate in Pax Christi USA's email Rapid Response Network; publication of local group events on Pax Christi USA's web page and in PCUSA's newspaper, the Catholic Peace Voice, plus much more!

There are over 250 Pax Christi local groups within the United States. To locate a Pax Christi USA local group in your area or to inquire about forming a community-based, parish-based, or campus-based (college or high school) Pax Christi group, please contact:

Pax Christi USA Regions:
A Pax Christi USA Region consists of six or more Pax Christi USA registered local groups or 200 registered Pax Christi USA members in a specific geographic area. Regions organize at least one regional event per year and communicate on a regular basis with the Pax Christi USA local groups and individual members within the region via a regional newsletter, regular mailings and/or email communiqués. They are a vital part of Pax Christi USA's identity as a grassroots' movement. Regions develop prayer, action and educational opportunities within the region, mobilize support for Pax Christi USA initiatives, and provide community support for members. Regional status requires the selection of a regional leadership team through a process involving all Pax Christi USA members within the region; this team is expected to be representative of the region's local groups and to meet regularly (generally 2-4 times/year) to pray, vision and strategize.

In addition to the benefits experienced by local groups, Pax Christi USA Regions are invited to provide input into the development of PCUSA's annual Work Plan as well as other national level programs/projects. Pax Christi USA assists in supporting regional work through an annual PCUSA Regional Membership Grant and also fully subsidizes an annual Regional Leadership Meeting focused on prayer, planning, and relationship-building among the regional leaders and with the National Council and National Staff.

There are 19 Pax Christi USA regions within the United States: Bay Area - California, Florida, Illinois, Long Island, Maine, Massachusetts, Metro DC, Metro New York, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Orleans, Eastern OH-Western PA, Pacific Northwest, Southern California, Texas, New Mexico, Upstate New York and Virginia.
