  • Board Meetings:  The PCMNY Board meets the first Monday of the month September through June at 6:30 PM in St. Joseph's Greenwich Village Parish House, 371 Sixth Avenue.                                             

 

  • Stone Soup/The Gospel of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fish:  On Saturday, December 6th, join Pax Christi Metro New York and the New Sanctuary Movement for an opportunity to learn about and welcome the strangers among us.  Pray, dine, listen, and share with us at “Stone Soup: Our Story.”  Based on the children’s folktale and Matthew’s Gospel on the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fish, this special event will address the immigrant experience.  Come to Victoria Congregational Church, 144-64 87th Avenue in Jamaica, Queens from 6 to 8 PM, and bring a non-perishable food item as your donation.  Please call in advance to register, 718-328-5622 or 212-420-0250.  You may also e-mail nypaxchristi@igc.org for more information, including directions. 

 

  • First Steps: A Christian Conflict Resolution Workshop:  If you’d like to develop new skills or hone those you already have, come to a “First Steps” workshop on Saturday, January 24th, from 10 AM to 4 PM in St. Joseph’s Greenwich Village Parish House, 371 Sixth Avenue.  The cost is $25 and registration is required.  (This is a skills-developing workshop and not a facilitator training.)  Light refreshments will be served, but bring your own lunch, or buy it locally.

 

  • Rebirthing King/Rebirthing America:  Help us celebrate the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday and Inauguration Day with an improvisational performance by the Village Playback Theatre on Sunday, January 25th, from 3 to 5 PM at Judson Memorial Church, 55 Washington Square South in Greenwich Village.  This interactive presentation will recall King's Riverside Church speech in which he spoke of the triplets of racism, militarism, and poverty.  Together the theatre company and audience will reflect on ways to rebirth an America that celebrates diversity, promotes peace, and cares for all so that no one is in need.  This production is co-sponsored by Judson Memorial Church, The Village Playback Theatre, and Pax Christi Metro New York.  Tickets are $25 and will benefit the work for peace of Pax Christi Metro New York.  Order tickets now through www.nycharities.org or directly from Pax Christi Metro New York.  They'll make a great Christmas/holiday gift.

 

  • Ash Wednesday Witness:  On February 25th, we will gather as we do each year outside St. Patrick's Cathedral at noon to distribute a Lenten Reflection on peace and reconciliation to those receiving ashes and attending Mass.

 

  • Retreat 2009, "Seizing the Nonviolent Moment":  Nancy Small, former Director of Pax Christi Metro New York and former National Coordinator of Pax Christi USA, will serve as our retreat leader from March 6th to the 8th at St. Joseph's Renewal Center, Brentwood, Long Island.  Please save the date and stay tuned for more information.
