Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The UN General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire.
This year, students from the 1804 Society and our Chaplain were invited to lead the global Notre Dame community in a ‘Prayer Pause’ for Peace and produced a video that was sent out to all Notre Dame schools across the world. Appropriately, the prayer for peace ended with the ringing of the peace bell here at St. Julie’s.
