The Affording Hope Project

Monday, 15 February 2010 10:39

Dave Kane from the Office for Global Concerns sent us the following information. It seems like a wonderful opportunity for Maryknoll Affiliate Chapter in areas where she will be going. Dave has offered to help Affiliate Chapters get involved. You may contact Dave if you have any questions for him.

This one woman show promises to be a VERY interesting one. It is by a woman who interned with us for a year and then created this piece with theater, music, dance, media, etc. about what faith has to tell us about our financial and ecological crises. Check out the video promo.

She is looking for venues around the country - see her schedule on the website - and I thought that a number of Affiliate groups would be interested in holding a showing in their areas. In addition to being a great show, it would be a great opportunity to get the word out about the Affiliates and find new members. I am sure that Tevyn would be willing to talk up the Affiliate groups, or allow you to.

Pax Christi Port-au-Prince and the Commission Episcopale Nationale Justice et Paix (the Haitian Catholic bishops' Justice and Peace Commission) invite everyone to hold a day of prayer for Haiti on Friday, February 12, one month after the devastating earthquake struck that country.

Consider using this prayer service from the Taize community.

Catholic Relief Services has prayer resources here.
