Anniversary of Lucy Goldsmith with Pax Christi Franciscans

The Pax Christi Franciscans is a group that organized in Greenwood, Mississippi in the Civil Rights movement by Father Nathaniel Machesky, a Franciscan priest who is a legend and an icon in the Civil Rights movement.  The Franciscans still run St Francis of Assisi parish and school in the city of Greenwood.  Lucy Goldsmith, a member of our parish, celebrated her 50th anniversary with that group.  We had a mass and luncheon in our parish hall to celebrate this event.  Natalie Gibbs and Marion Brown and their crew put together a very elegant luncheon.  At least 25 members of the Pax Christi Franciscan group from across the state attended.  Lucy had a wonderful celebration and a wonderful day.
