Pax Christi USA applauds courageous witness of Nativity School community


The following is a media statement from Lauren Bailey, National Field Organiser of Pax Christi USA, expressing our support for the community at The Nativity School of Worcester, which showed solidarity with Black, Brown, and LGBTQ+ students:

"The Nativity School exhibits the Catholic values of inclusion, justice, and solidarity with the oppressed and marginalised by displaying Pride and Black Lives Matter flags. The way to peace with justice is through public solidarity, and we are proud of this community for their courageous witness.

We are gravely disappointed that Bishop Robert McManus has chosen to sanction the school for its Gospel witness. Pax Christi USA strongly believes that communities like Nativity are modelling the Church we are striving to create. Catholic schools and all Catholic spaces should be places where all oppressed people, including LGBTQ+ students and Black students, are free to embrace and celebrate our identities and God-given dignity."
