Upcoming Peace and Justice Events 

 

Call (212)420-0250 or e-mail the office to find out more about any of these events!

  • Board Meetings:  The PCMNY Board is moving its meetings to the first Monday October through June at 6:30 PM in St. Joseph's Greenwich Village Parish House, 371 Sixth Avenue.  Please call or e-mail for the date of the September meeting.                                            

 

  • Fall Assembly:  With the presidential election approaching, this year's Fall Assembly will offer insights into the issues from a faith base that might inform your vote.  Sr. Simone Campbell, SSS, Executive Director of NETWORK, the Catholic Social Justice Lobby, will be presenting "Faithful Citizenship: Catholic Social Teaching, American Realities, and Election 2008."  Join us on Saturday, October 4th, at Fordham University Lincoln Center Campus.  The day will begin with our annual general Assembly meeting for all members and interested friends.  Learn what's been happening in PCMNY over the past year and help move us forward.  After lunch, participate in an interactive program that will help you reconcile your faith with your civic responsibilities.  You may come to all or part of the day.  Registration brochures are now available.

 

  • The Dialogue Project:  In the spirit of our last three years of interfaith events, we are pleased to invite you to an interactive presentation by The Dialogue Project on Thursday, November 6th, at St. Joseph’s in Greenwich Village.  Doors will open at 6:30 PM.  A Palestinian Christian, Muslim, and Jewish American/Israeli will demonstrate active listening and reflection as they explore “hot words-topics” and their personal connections to Israel and Palestine.  They will then engage the audience in a dialogue with each other about what we mean by the word peacemaker.  Contact the office or check this website for registration information as the date draws closer.

 

  • 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.

 

  • 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.

 

  • Good Friday Way of the Cross:  Our 27th consecutive Good Friday Way of the Cross will take place on April 10th, starting at 8:30 AM across from Holy Family Church on Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, 47th Street between First and Second Avenues.  We will commemorate Jesus' suffering and the suffering of His people in the world today as we process to 42nd Street and across Manhattan, ending near Holy Cross Church on 42nd Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues.  All are welcome.  No registration is required.  Please wear or carry a cross.  No signs or banners.

 

  • Peacemaker Awards Reception:  We're "penciled in" for our Peacemaker Awards Reception on Sunday, May 31st, at Judson Memorial Church, Washington Square South in Greenwich Village.  Through October 15th, we're accepting nominations for people whose faith has inspired their peacemaking work nationally and locally.  Updates on this event will occur as they develop.

We are now pleased to be able to accept credit card donations.  Call us at 212-420-0250 or visit www.nycharities.org.
