El Paso Pax Christi
El Paso Pax Christi continues to sponsor monthly Sunday afternoon movies on justice themes related to the respective month. Two of the recent monthly movies have been ”Amazing Grace” in February for Black History Month; “Real Women Have Curves” in March for Women’s History Month. Growth in the size of the audience and the quality of the discussions has been encouraging.
An expanding membership has brought many talents to the group and and has motivated our move to a meeting room at the Opportunity Center for the Homeless.
Border Peace Presence and Pax Christi El Paso collaborated in the sponsorship and organization of A Circle of Peace on March 8, (instead of March 19, in Holy Week) to call for an end to the Iraq war. The two-hour program of poetry, music, prayer and the enthusiastic participation of many peace organizations and individuals called for an end to the Iraq war. At the same time, appreciation and reverence were evidenced at the well attended event for those who are serving in the armed forces, have served or have given their lives in this war.
