Come to the 2010 PLC Retreat in New Mexico
Posted January 7, 2010 by pacificlifecommunityCategories: Rockies
Trinity House Catholic Worker invites you to the 4th annual Pacific Life Community retreat in New Mexico February 26-28, 2010. Join radical discipleship communities from the Western U.S. in reflecting and acting for nuclear abolition in 2010.
We will gather in the Jemez Mountains, near Albuquerque, at cozy Hummingbird Music Camp. Our keynote speakers will be Bill Sulzman of Citizens for Peace in Space, from Colorado Springs, and Sr. Joan Brown, ofm of the Partnership for Earth Spirituality, from Albuquerque. See the updated schedule.
The weekend will culminate in a direct action at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where a plan to build a new plant for plutonium bomb cores is underway. Our prayerful action will send a clear message to the Nonproliferation Treaty Review Conference, held in May 2010, that DISARMAMENT BEGINS AT HOME.
Please join us in New Mexico – it started here, we can stop it here.
RSVP to Marcus and Mariah via snail, phone or eml by February 10, 2010.
We are asking for a $100 registration fee to help cover the costs of food and lodging. If you can’t afford this, please consider contributing $50, and if you CAN afford it, please think about offering $150 to cover for someone else.

Dear Pacific Life Community folks. Thanks for all your reflection and work on the west coast. We just started a blog to let people know what is happening with the Trident nuclear weapons, and our actions here in Washington. Could you put a link to our site? Thanks, Susan Crane
