You're invited to join Pax Christi USA in the Holy Land this May!

In May 2015, representatives of Pax Christi sections from all over the world will be gathering in Bethlehem for the Pax Christi International World Assembly. Additionally a special pilgrimage has been designed for Pax Christi members by the Holy Land Christian Ecumenical Foundation, taking place for several days prior to and immediately after the PCI World Assembly. 

We invite you to join other Pax Christi USA members for this unique experience of attending the PCI World Assembly in Bethlehem from the evening of May 13th to the morning of May 17th. Before and after the assembly (from May 10th to the 23rd in total), you're invited to be part of a HCEF Living Stones pilgrimage which will take us to many of the places where Jesus and his disciples walked, as well as providing the opportunity to meet Living Stone Christian (as well as Muslim and Jewish) peacemakers in the Holy Land and find out more about how we can help them in their march to peace and justice in our time!

As Catholics from the United States, we need to learn more about the on-going conflicts in the Middle East and help our brothers and sisters in Christ who live in the Holy Land (while there are still some there!). We owe it to all of the people of Israel and the occupied territories to walk in solidarity with them and help them secure justice for all! Visit Bethlehem, East Jerusalem, Nazareth, Jericho, Hebron and many other sites on the West Bank.
