Greeting to friends and partners for Justice, Life and Peace:
Rel Ed Congress is only about 6-7 weeks away. The many speakers and topics are always amazing and often
overwhelming. I have looked thru the lists and below recommend the following from St. Camillus services and vision:
justice and peace, consistent Life, AIDS Ministry, Pax Christi Justice, health care, medical ethics, Gay and lesbian Ministry,
etc. So please know many other speakers are great but I forced myself to keep this under 4 pages. I will be part of two
workshops and presiding at Friday night Healing Mass. Our booth will be open all during the congress with resources
available. Blessings for 2017 and with all the new challenges let the Pope Francis’ New Year Day for all to take on
NONVIOLENCE In our lives inspire us for life, justice and peace. Fr Chris Ponnet www.stcamilluscenter.org
