Social Justice ~ Peace
A peace pole stands outside of Bethany chapel, it was handcrafted with the inscription "May Peace Prevail on Earth"
inscribed in 12 languages. Our peace pole is one of 200,000 spread across the world.
Each stands as a constant reminder for us to wish for, pray for and to visualize and think about peace in our lives, homes, communities and in the world.
The pole is placed next to the gazebo garden creating a sacred space where
all are invited to pray, contemplate and reflect on peace.
On Wednesdays at 12:50 the Sisters of St.
Martha join in prayers for peace, weather permitting around our Peace Pole otherwise in our chapel, all are welcome to
attend in person or in spirit to pray for peace wherever you are at this
