Dear Regional or Local Group Leader,


Earlier today, Pax Christi International announced a new campaign, "Bread is Life - Fast for a Just Peace in Syria." Sr. Patty asked me to forward this information to all regional coordinators, local group and campus leaders and invite you to discern how your groups may participate in this campaign. 

The press release reads:
 
"Pax Christi International is launching a "bread is life" campaign during Lent 2013 to raise awareness about the suffering of civilian communities in Syria and to express solidarity with those who are trying to survive in Syria and as refugees in surrounding countries.

The Bread is Life campaign will take place from 13 February to 31 March 2013, to coincide with the Christian observance of Lent. The acute suffering of civilian communities has been made immeasurably worse by a shortage of bread, Syrian's staple food, caused in part by the deliberate bombing of bakeries..."

In Christ's peace,

 

Johnny Zokovitch
