Pax Christi Boston

Who we are:
Grounded in the Gospel and Catholic social teaching, Pax Christi USA is a membership organization , a section of Pax Christi International, that rejects war, preparation for war, every form of violence and domination, and personal and systemic racism.  We are a Catholic peace and justice movement that seeks to model the Peace of Christ in our witness to the mandate of the nonviolence of the Cross.
 
What we do:
Guided by the spirituality of nonviolence, we advocate and provide leadership for disarmament, demilitarization and reconciliation with justice, inclusiveness, economic and interracial justice, human rights and care of creation.
  •  We strive through prayer, study and action to be attentive to the interrelatedness of the key issues stated above and, in our response, to be conscious of their impact on the world community.
  • We work to align our organizational structures, policies, and practices with our intent to be an anti-racist, multicultural Catholic movement for peace and justice.
Our Vision:
A more peaceful, just and sustainable world through the efforts of our members and in collaboration with other groups.
We dream of a world that respects the universal human rights of all people, and we do this by being in solidarity with oppressed and marginalized people struggling  for dignity.  We reject every form of political and economic domination over others.  We continue to knock on the door of the Empire demanding entrance and a voice:a
voice that proclaims that every human being is worthy of respect regardless of race, class, socio-economic status, and on which side of what border one comes from.
Toward these ends PCUSA is joined with many justice seeking organizations around the world.
We dream of restoring our globe to a place of balance where the earth is recognized as our home and its care our future.  We believe with Teilhard de Chardin when he said, “creation, nature is the first Body of Christ.”
We realize that the extremes in weather, the susceptibility of fire and drought in so many parts of the globe, the displacement and migrations of peoples, the dramatic loss of plant and animal life are not coincidences.  The thread that runs through them all is the misuse of the earth’s resources along with the greed and miss-use of power in polluting the atmosphere and thus rendering the earth seriously off balance.
