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.
