National Catholic Conference on Peacemaking, July 16-18 |
Pax Christi USA is proud to announce the theme for this year's National Catholic Conference on Peacemaking: "Know Justice, Know Peace: Ending War at Home and Abroad." The theme reflects Pax Christi USA's understanding that the wars fought abroad (Afghanistan, Iraq, the Middle East, etc.) and the wars fought at home (violence against immigrants, on our streets, against the poor, etc.) are intimately connected and simply different faces of the power which the "domination system" exercises in our world.
WHEN: Friday, July 16 through Sunday, July 18
WHERE: The Rosemont Hotel at O'Hare, 5550 N. River Road, in Rosemont, Illinois (near Chicago).
Room reservations should be made directly through the hotel at 847-737-7553 or 877-520-7781, between the hours of 8am and 5pm CDT. Ask for the "Pax Christi USA group rate" associated with the conference.
