As textbook as all that may sound, we are a casual group that meets weekly to discuss anything and everything having to do with Peace and Justice, both here at SMU and worldwide.
We work in a four-week cycle focusing on one Catholic Social Teaching (CST) every semester. The CSTs are broad topics describing the Catholic responsibility to justice in our world. The cycle will include round-table discussions, activities, field trips, movies and maybe even a few potlucks!
BIG EVENTS:
Common Threads Clothing sale Oct. 25-27. When you’re home for October break, bring old clothes back to school with you.
Our trip to WHINSEC or Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (formerly known as SOA or The School of the Americas) is Nov. 16-18. WHINSEC has trained over 60,000 Latin American soldiers in counterinsurgency techniques, commando and psychological warfare, and interrogation tactics.
These graduates have consistently used their skills to wage war against educators, union organizers, religious workers, student leaders, and justice workers. (courtesy of www.soaw.com)
There will be an informational meeting Tuesday, Sept. 25, at 9 p.m. in Room B. The deadline for the WHINSEC rally registration is Oct. 10. Contact Mary Gleich, Laura Holupchinski, Andrew Rath, Glenna Krzyzanowski or Andy Pass.
