The Need for Community

It is often difficult in our materialistic society to maintain perspective, to resist the powerful pull of culture and keep the gospel sense alive. Each of us needs help, and that is a principle purpose of the Catholic Peace Fellowship: To provide a means for our coming together to discern and focus, to help to narrow the gap between belief and behavior.

Activities

In our education and advocacy efforts, we:

Sponsor meetings, with speakers and discussion
Publish a bimonthly newsletter
Participate in vigils and other forms of witness to increase public awareness
Work to influence public policy through organized petitioning of officials on selected issues
Work cooperatively with others who share our views on peace, justice and concern for the environment. We are a local chapter of Pax Christi USA.
Serve as a source of support for persons who have committed themselves to lives of active, nonviolent resistance to militarism and injustice.

Catholic Peace Fellowship planning meetings are held on the first Sunday of each month at 12:30 pm (following the 11:00 mass) at St. Malachy Church Rectory, located on 11^th Street, two blocks north of Girard Avenue. The purpose of these meetings is to discuss the direction of CPF and plan its activities. Everyone is welcome.
