Andrzej Szczesnowicz, S.T.L. Fr. Andrzej was appointed Pastor of Pax Christi effective July 1, 2020. He was born in Poland where he was raised by his mother and father and is the oldest of 3 boys. Fr. Andrzej attended the seminary in Poland and was ordained a priest at the age of 24 on May 31, 2003. Due to an agreement between his home diocese and the Diocese of Syracuse, New York, Fr. Andrzej came to the United States immediately after his ordination. In 2008, he was offered a transfer to Colorado Springs, which he happily accepted. In the Summer of 2010, Fr. Andrzej was incardinated into the Diocese of Colorado Springs and began his ministry at Our Lady of the Pines Catholic Church in Black Forest. In 2015, he received his Licentiate in Sacred Theology Degree at the Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw. In his free time, Fr. Andrzej enjoys reading, soccer, listening to music and spending time with his English Bulldog, Lambo (short for Lamborghini). For more information on these and other events, visit www.paxchristi.org ENDOW ~ Educating on the Nature and Dignity of Women ENDOW is hosting two new studies this year. Both groups will begin on Wednesday, August 19, 2020 and end April 21, 2021. We meet the 1st, 3rd and 5th weeks of the month. The morning group will be studying Redemptoris Mater (Mother of the Redeemer) and meet from 9:45-11:45am. The evening group will be studying, Lumen Gentium (Light of the Nations) and meet from 6:30-8:30pm. Place will be revealed to those participating as soon as I know. Redemptoris Mater is an encyclical written by Pope John Paul II in 1987 to remind us that Mary is the greatest saint and he explains why this is so. He calls her the “most excellent expression of the feminine genius.” Mary’s “yes” to her role in God’s plan places her at the center of salvation history, so this study helps us to understand and appreciate the place Mary holds in the Church. If you would like to join this morning group, please email me to let me know and purchase your materials from ENDOW at this link: https://endow-groups.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/mother- of-the-redeemer. Lumen Gentium is a document which answers the questions we currently face: What does the modern Church look like? What are we supposed to be to the world in our current culture? This document was written to explain the intent and vision for Vatican II breaking down an understanding of who we are and what we believe. It is the constitution of the Catholic faith in our current time and an essential foundational piece of knowledge every Catholic should intimately be familiar with. If you would like to join this evening group, please email me to let me know and purchase your materials from ENDOW at this link: https://endow-groups.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/lumen-gentium-light- of-the-nations.

Grant her the courage and grace to persevere, so that the child already living, will be born safely. We pray also that those who support, encourage, promote or perform abortions may be granted a conversion of mind and heart. Finally, we pray for all those who have been hurt by the tragedy of abortion. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. 4 Months Old I’m now a gymnast!

Pax Christi Catholic Church - 3 - Littleton, CO LIVING IN THE SPIRIT When my son was a Cub Scout in the third grade, I noticed in his scout book the religious awards that scouts can earn – particularly the one for Catholic scouts: the Parvuli Dei. This brought back a good memory; I earned the Parvuli Dei too, when I was a Cub Scout in the early 1970’s. Earning the Parvuli Dei (I still have mine – my mother thankfully saved it for me) was an important step in growing my faith as I was growing in scouting. Even though I was still young, I realized that scouting and my faith could be combined. My own scouting experience didn’t go beyond Cub Scouts – there were sports to be played back then – but I wish I had continued because I could have done both. Still, my scouting was fondly remembered, so when both my children joined scouting, I got involved too. My son eventually earned Eagle Scout, earned Catholic scouting awards and helped others earned theirs, and worked at scout summer camps though high school and college. In fact, scouting scholarships paid for about 25% of his college. Many of you know he is now a police officer – a testament to scouting’s impact. My daughter too, as a Girl Scout, earned her Catholic awards. The last sash she wore is currently on display in the Christi Center Just a reminder that registration for along with examples of the other Catholic Religious Education is still open! awards scouts can earn. Registration is $120/family. I have now been a scout leader for 18 years (16 years on the Diocese Catholic Committee Just use the link below and register today! Please see the on Scouting).

  • Faith Voices Letter
    In Support Of Keeping Houses Of Worship Nonpartisan August 16, 2017 Dear Senator: As a leader in my religious community, I am strongly opposed to any effort to repeal or weaken current law that protects houses of worship from becoming centers of partisan politics. Changing the law would threaten the integrity and independence of houses of worship. We must not allow our sacred spaces to be transformed into spaces used to endorse or oppose political candidates. Faith leaders are called to speak truth to power, and we cannot do so if we are merely cogs in partisan political machines. The prophetic role of faith communities necessitates that we retain our independent voice. Current law respects this independence and strikes the right balance: houses of worship that enjoy favored tax-exempt status may engage in advocacy to address moral and political issues, but they cannot tell people who to vote for or against. Nothing in current law, however, prohibits me from endorsing or opposing political candidates in my own personal capacity. Changing the law to repeal or weaken the “Johnson Amendment” – the section of the tax code that prevents tax-exempt nonprofit organizations from endorsing or opposing candidates – would harm houses of worship, which are not identified or divided by partisan lines. Particularly in today’s political climate, engaging in partisan politics and issuing endorsements would be highly divisive and have a detrimental impact on congregational unity and civil discourse. I therefore urge you to oppose any repeal or weakening of the Johnson Amendment, thereby protecting the independence and integrity of houses of worship and other religious organizations in the charitable sector.

This is my gift to you. ~ John 14:27 It is this peace of Christ, a divine gift, that motivates the Catholic peace movement. The movement takes its name, Pax Christi, Peace of Christ, from this faith basis. But this peace is understood as a gift that must be shared, a blessing that requires not only a struggle against war and violence, but also the building of just structures. In pursuing this agenda Pax Christi members are encouraged by the words: “Blessed are the peacemakers, they shall be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9).

    Justpeace No 309 August-September 2016 ISSNO287-7647 Rome Conference on Nonviolence and Just Peace How I wish every member of Pax Christi could have experienced this inspiring conference which took place in Rome from 11-13 April! Pat Gaffney, Chris Cole and I were fortunate to mix with 80 people from 35 countries, all keenly focussed on how to move our Church forward in its understanding of and commitment to nonviolence. A number of unusual features made this an exceptional event. First of all, it was co-sponsored by Pax Christi International AND the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, with the participation of Cardinal Turkson, other members of the Pontifical Council, and a message from Pope Francis. Next, it did not descend into the familiar ding-dong of pacifist- versus-just war debate. This was thanks to the planning group’s Participants at the Rome Conference choice of a process whereby four contributors gave short presentations, and then anyone could join the circle briefly to The Rome conference agreed on ‘An appeal to the Catholic advance the discussion, and return to their places. This gave Church to re-commit to the centrality of Gospel nonviolence’. us a rich fusion of approaches from pastoral and community workers, academics, and activists. Opinions varied about whether the ‘Just War’ theory should be We had all read five excellent preparatory papers, and the explicitly rejected, because some find that the criteria usefully intensity of the listening was impressive: everyone searching for expose the impossibility of any ‘just’ war.
