Dear Friends
With a successful Peace Sunday celebrated on 18 January and continuing high demand for Pax Christi talks, workshops, and resources, it has been a busy start to the year in the Pax Christi office. Here’s what is coming up over the next weeks and months.
Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday is fast approaching and we have our annual service of repentance and resistance to nuclear war preparations at the Ministry of Defence. Full details here
As part of this event we are inviting educators to join the service and reflect on it together. We would gather an hour beforehand (at 2pm) and meet after the vigil to reflect on our experiences over a cup of tea. Details here
