Pax Christi USA, the national Catholic peace movement, has recognized the life and witness of Jim Albertini, by naming him the 2010 recipient of the Pax Christi USA Teacher of Peace Award. Pax Christi USA first gave the award to Dorothy Day, co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement, in 1978 and has since recognized some of the most significant U.S. Catholic activists for peace and justice of the past 3 decades, including actor Martin Sheen; poet and priest Daniel Berrigan, S.J.; and Dead Man Walking author Sr. Helen Prejean, C.S.J. Albertini’s work has included non-violent resistance to war and injustice, the practice of hospitality and sustainability through the Center for Non-violent Education and Action and its Malu ‘Aina (Land of Peace) farm in Hawaii, and co-author of The Dark Side of Paradise: Hawaii in a Nuclear World.
