SUMMARY:One Church One Family - Catholic Public Witness for Migrants
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a public witness in support of our immigrant sisters and brothers! \nPax Christi Maine is organizing a prayer vigil as part of a nationwide campaign titled “One Church One Family – Catholic Public Witness for Migrants”\, initiated by the Ignatian Solidarity Network. The vigil will held on Thursday November 13\, 2025 at 2:00pm outside of the Cumberland County Jail in Portland. Under a contract with the U.S. Marshal’s Service\, this facility continues to be used by I.C.E. for immigrant detention in Maine. \nThe One Church One Family campaign invites Catholics across our country to participate in a public witness on November13th\, to stand in solidarity with our immigrant sisters and brothers who are currently experiencing increasing levels of fear\, cruelty\, displacement and incarceration at the hands of government agents in our cities and towns. \nYou can find more details on this campaign at this link https://1family.us/\nYour support and participation is very much needed! \nIn accord with Jesus’ teachings and Catholic Social Teaching\, we know we are called to treat all people with dignity and respect; to welcome the stranger; to lift up those suffering; to speak up for the most vulnerable among us. \nThese are unprecedented times of great turmoil in our country. As followers of the nonviolent Jesus\, we are called to stand with our migrant sisters and brothers as they experience so much violence due to mass deportations and are forced to endure the crisis of displacement and family separation. \nPope Leo XIV has been outspoken about the Catholic Church’s obligation to pray and to act in support of the immigrant community. His Holiness has sent a clear message\, “The Church cannot stay silent before injustice. You stand with me\, and I stand with you.” \nPlease join us on Thursday November 13th at 2:00pm. We will pray together. Signs that reflect Jesus’ teachings\, express solidarity with our immigrant sisters and brothers and concern for their mistreatment are welcome. Contact Mary Ellen if any questions.  memquinn@peoplepc.com \nIf you are unable to be present with us in Portland on November 13th\, we urge you to join us in prayer for our immigrant sisters and brothers; to pray for an end to violence and all cruel and unjust systems that inflict harm. \nBlessings of hope and possibility\, \nMary Ellen Quinn and Denise Dreher\nCo-Coordinators\, Pax Christi Maine

SUMMARY:PAX Community Conversation - November
DESCRIPTION:“To Walk in Humility-Lessons Learned in Indian Country” \n  \n‘Critical encounters’ in education and health care are experiences that drop from the head to the heart and change us. They can result from an encounter with a book (as in scripture) \, a significant event\, or another most importantly\, a person different from ourselves. This evening Pax Christi Maine member John Yasenchak will share a few such encounters I had over twenty years that deepened my conviction that mental health and social justice are two sides of the same coin. \nJohn’s sharing will lead us into discussion of our own experiences in learning about humility. John suggests we read the attached articles in preparation for our discussion.  Feel free to invite others who may be interested. \nPLEASE RSVP to receive the zoom link and suggested articles which will be sent Thursday morning. \nTHANK YOU! \nBlessings of hope and possibility\, Mary Ellen memquinn@peoplepc.com
