Peace In Action



One day after the Friars and Sisters of Saint Mary's and Missions celebrated the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi they joined members of Holy Family Church, Cassava River and brothers and sisters from the City Mission, Baptist and Pentecostal Churches for a Peace Vigil in Glengoffe. Two men were shot to death on Sunday September 27 in this District of Saint Catherine. One man was the Uncle of a parishioner from Holy Family. Songs for peace and forgiveness were offered to the Lord by this Ecumenical group. The Friars and Sisters know that Francis is the Saint of Peace as well as the Saint who crossed religious boarders that took him to the Sultan in Egypt, in order to build God's Kingdom. Sunday evening was a true Franciscan Moment as we joined hands as brothers and sisters to pray that God's Kingdom may come!
