Contribute to the Sheila O’Brien Scholarship Fund- this is a special fund established to assist individuals wanting to attend Pax Christi Florida’s annual retreat (spring) and assembly (fall) and are in need of a partial or full scholarship to do so. This fund was named in loving memory of long-time PCF member and peace activist, Sheila O’Brien of Pax Christi Tallahassee.

Pax Christi Florida Mission Statement – Affirmed Sept/08
We, the members of Pax Christi Florida, dedicate ourselves to building peace through justice by exploring, articulating, and applying the ideal of Christian nonviolence in our personal lives, in the structures of church and society, and throughout all of creation. To accomplish this mission, we collaborate in a spirit of love, prayer and contemplation with other committed individuals, organizations, and communities of nonviolent peacemakers.
Pax Christi Florida Vision Statement – Affirmed Sept/08
We see Pax Christi Florida as an integral part of an ecumenical community of workers and activists who make a prophetic witness for peace with justice, who build bridges of reconciliation toward a more equitable world and who walk in solidarity with the voiceless and disenfranchised.
