April 25, 6:30pm, St. Patrick Catholic Church, Edina
St. Mary’s is both a school and parish located on the Red Lake Indian Reservations—one of the poorest communities in the state.  Fr. Byron is well-acquainted with the mission. His former graduate student is the administrator, and as a visitor to the mission, Fr. Byron can attest to the great and necessary work being done there. He also attests that the annual gala is a very special occasion, in large part because of the gratitude of the Red Lake people. There’s a happy hour prior to a feast of fresh walleye with all the trimmings. Dinner is followed by comments from the mission’s pastor, and entertainment or remarks  from the Red Lake Band of Ojibwe. The event is free but serves as a fundraiser, with an invitation for contributions at the end of the evening. Individuals are greatly needed to host tables. Please RSVP to Mary Spry, pspry51@hotmail.com or 218-849-8852.

Fare For All is a great way to save money on quality, nutritious food. They buy fresh fruits, vegetables, and frozen meat in bulk which saves up to 40% off grocery store prices. Volunteers at the Fare For All warehouse pre-pack the produce and meat into food packages that range in price from $10 – $25. There is no need to register in advance or fill out any paperwork. Fare For All is open to everyone – because food is purchased in bulk, the more people who participate the better. Fare For All will visit Pax Christi once a month, on a Tuesday afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30pm.

Third Thursday of the month, 3:00–4:30pm       RSVP

The Compassionate Care Listening Circle gathers monthly, and is open to anyone who finds themselves at a crossroads in life. The listening circle provides a safe place for reflection and meaningful conversation as one strives to find an awareness of God in the face of life challenges. These challenges can include loss, care-giving responsibilities, mental illness, grief, chronic illness, or any life transition. In this small group setting we will have time for ritual, prayer, and sharing around a monthly topic. For more information, or if you would like to join this group, contact Jean Thoresen, Director of Care and Support Ministry, 952-405-7211, or jthoresen@paxchristi.com.

Thursdays, March 28 through May 16, 5:30–7:30pm at Pax Christi
