Join us for a day of reflection on “just peace” … Along with the Trinity (Washington) University’s Campus Ministry, we invite all Pax Christi members and friends to gather together to pray, study and plan for action to bring Christ’s peace to the world.
Keynote speaker will be Fr. Emmanuel Charles McCarthy, who will speak on the just war theory. A panel on the human cost of war will include Katy Scott, Andy Shallal, and Donna Grimes.
During lunch, Srs. Carol Gilbert and Ardeth Platte will show the film Conviction, which tells the story of their Plowshares action.
A second panel will be held, entitled “Breaking the Silence of the Church,” with Fr. Joe Nangle, Srs. Anne McCarthy OSB, Carol Gilbert, OP and Ardeth Platte, OP.
The day will end with celebration of the Mass with Monsignor Ray East.
Registration costs $35 before May 1 and $40 at the door. Scholarships are available for students and others for whom the cost would constitute a hardship. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
