From the newly-launched Peace Pairs program to the June 2022 Pax Christi Young Adult Caucus (PCYAC) retreat in Washington DC, the celebrations of Pax Christi USA’s 50th year in 2022 brought an inter-generational lens to relationships and movement-building for peace with justice. Our 50th anniversary prayer was even inspired by Dialogue Between Generations, Education and Work: Tools for Building Lasting Peace, the 2022 World Day of Peace message from Pope Francis.
It is within this same spirit of that we share our Inter-generational Teacher of Peace interview series, organized by 50th anniversary committee members Isaac Chandler and Ryan Di Corpo. The series has been extended beyond our anniversary year with interviews with our 2023 and 2024 Teachers of Peace, Fr. Joe Nangle, OFM and Mary Catherine Bunting.
