In this month of new beginnings, we hope you'll help us to witness to the peace of Christ!

2. Give a gift membership for the year, introducing someone new--maybe by sponsoring a young adult, student, your grandson or granddaughter, a family friend--to the work of Pax Christi USA. Click here to download a membership brochure! Share it with someone new and let them know you're gifting them with a membership for 2014. Bringing in a new generation of folks to the work of Pax Christi USA is a great gift--for them and for us!

3. Become a sustainer! When you renew your membership or become a new member, simply mark the box that says "Make This Recurring (Monthly)" and you'll become a Pax Christi USA Sustainer, providing a monthly donation that supports our work and on which we can count as we plan for the future.

4. Start a new local group or join one near you! Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." You can find information on starting a local Pax Christi group by clicking here. If you want to know if a group is already active and meeting near you, contact me at jzokovitch@paxchristiusa.org. Our local group network includes over 225 groups--parish-based groups, high school chapters, college chapters, city-wide groups, religious congregations, small faith groups, Catholic Worker Houses, and more. Become part of our network and connect with others across the country!
