Description: |
Pax Christi Northern California invites you to this Liturgy of Memory and Repentance for Victims of Nuclear Attacks and Accidents
Takashi Tanemori, a survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, will be a guest of honor.
This Catholic mass of remembrance will commemorate nuclear victims, and invite the community to be in solidarity with Pope Francis as he visits Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki on November 23 – 26. At that time, the Holy Father is expected to deliver a message calling for the urgent and complete abolition of nuclear weapons.
Following the liturgical service, Pax Christi Northern California will offer a reception and discussion on how local groups and individuals can undertake a program of prayer-study-action for the abolition of nuclear weapons.
Please RSVP using the Eventbrite link provided.
