Holy Innocents Prayer Service:
This year we will resume a long-time tradition of PCMNY to remember
victims of violence, especially children, on Monday, December 28th,
after the 5:30 PM Mass at St. Joseph's Greenwich Village Church.
This is a time amidst the excitement of the Christmas holiday to
gather in prayer for those for whom Jesus came, to love them and to
protect them.

The Hermit in New
York: Mark your
calendar for an afternoon that promises to be both entertaining and
inspiring. This play about Thomas Merton written by Teresa
Weed and produced by the Still Point Theatre Collective of Chicago
begins on a weekend in New York when Merton met with Zen scholar
D.T. Suzuki. It then weaves together the poetry and prose of
his public and private lives, his spiritual development and his
advocacy for peace and justice. Join us at St. Joseph's
Greenwich Village Church on Sunday, January 10th, 2010 from 2:30 to
4:30 PM. Warm your heart in the midst of winter cold and help
support a cause close to Merton's heart, the cause of peace.
This performance will benefit the work of Pax Christi Metro New
York. Ticket information to come.

On Living Pax Christi: Called
to Keep on Keeping On: We'll be
returning to St. Joseph Renewal Center in Brentwood, Long Island for
our Lenten retreat in 2010 from March 6th to the 7th, with the
option for an overnight stay on March 5th. Fr. Kevin Queally,
TOR, will lead us with a message of hope and encouragement as we
deal with the disappointments and disillusionments of unfulfilled
dreams and promises from a nation and world stuck in a culture of
violence and fear. Fr. Queally
is a long-time friend of PCMNY who facilitated our Fall Assembly on
Sts. Francis and Clare in 2005 and who recently resigned from his
position as Vice President of Mission at St. Francis University in
Loretto, PA, because the University is starting an ROTC program
contrary to the Franciscan mission of peacemaking. He is now
Chaplain and Director of Campus Ministry at Alvernia University in
Reading, PA.

28th Annual Good Friday Way of
the Cross: Once again we will walk with

discrimination, poverty, hunger, torture, war, and all forms of
violence. We begin at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, 47th Street
between First and Second Avenues, at 8:30 AM on April 2nd, 2010.
Wear or carry a cross. No other signs, please.
