 Now
more than ever, we need to stand upright,
with truth in our belt, with justice
for our shield, and for shoes, the zeal to
propagate the Gospel of Peace
(Ephesians, 6:14-15).
For years parishes in the
United States have been labored tirelessly
to promote peace and justice in the Church
and society. Despite tremendous sacrifice,
this work is far from complete. That’s
why Pax Christi wants to team up with parishes.
It’s our hope that through our materials
and support, we can help you instill the
gospel message of peacemaking and justice
seeking within your parish community. By
working together in partnership, our shared
dreams of a peaceful future can become a
reality.
We at Pax Christi share
the conviction of the U.S. bishops that
the formation of Catholics is incomplete
unless they are learning the social implications
of their faith. We want to team up with
parishes like yours so that the developing
conscience and value system of Catholics
will include sensitivity to economic and
social justice, nonviolence and peace.
By
joining, your parish will receive:
-
Advice and assistance when your parish is
planning an event or retreat dealing with
peace and justice.
- Press releases, action alerts,
and membership mailings that keep your parish
abreast of the current peace and justice
issues around the world.
- Concrete ideas for your
parish staff in the form of The Organizer,
published four times a year. This valuable
little publication includes education
and action ideas, clip art and quotes,
programs, calendar events and the resources
from which appropriate parish initiatives
can be adapted.
- Free issues of The
Catholic Peace Voice, our bimonthly
newspaper. Copies of each issue will be
sent to your parish free of charge so
that you can make them readily available
in your Church to educate your community
on various issues facing society.
Membership in the Parish
Sponsor program means an annual gift of
$150 or more if you are able.
