PEACE REFLECTIONS

 

SISTERS WITNESS AGAINST WAR

Approximately 150 sisters and friends gathered to pray for peace, Friday, August 6th at Sacred Heart Parish in Colorado Springs, CO. This event started at 11:30 a.m. with a light lunch and featured satire by "Sisters Loodeen Marie & Mary Edna" and the First Strike Theatre. An Ecumenical Prayer Service followed in the church with Sister Kathleen Erickson, RSM addressing "The Morality of War."  Participant then carpooled to Peterson Air Force Base for an hour of silent prayer and witness.  Many employees from Peterson Air Force were leaving work at that time.  This was a peaceful and reverent event.
