Join Pax Christi Metro DC-Baltimore for our 18th Annual Peacemaker of the Year celebration, honoring MJ and Jerry Park!
MJ and Jerry Park, peace educators with more than 40 years of experience leading year-round programs for children and adults. In 1981, they founded Little Friends For Peace (LFFP), a nonprofit dedicated to teaching individuals how to live nonviolently and how to build communities rooted in peace. MJ and Jerry brought their peacebuilding to the DC metropolitan area when they relocated their family to Maryland in 1988.
Our evening will begin with the parish vigil Mass at 5:30 p.m. at Holy Redeemer Church in downtown DC, to be followed at 6:30 by our Peacemaker of the Year Award dinner and presentation. A jazz quartet will perform during the dinner.
All are welcome! Please share this invitation with your networks and plan to join us on November 8!
