Dear PeaceBuilders,

On Saturday, October 20th Marie Dennis, Pax Christi International's co-president, will be speaking at the Pax Christi Illinois annual gathering at 1:00 pm at St. Margaret Mary Parish in Naperville. Marie's topic will be "Healing a Broken World: Allies in the Nonviolent Struggle for Justice." Dr. Ken Butigan, Senior Lecturer at DePaul University and Campaign Nonviolence strategist for Pace e Bene Nonviolence Service will be the responder.

This event is open to EVERYONE.

Please help us spread the word about this exciting event.  
Help create and learn about a much needed paradigm shift away from the basic assumption that war and violence is inevitable...possibly opening up our imagination...creating space for rethinking  justice and life, justice and dignity, justice and peace. Let us work together with all.
Hope to see you there!

Pace e Bene,
Cetta
