About this trip

Please join us for World Peace Day led by Stephen Niamke. Stephen is the National Field Organizer for Pax Christi USA, longtime community organizer, and nonviolence trainer from Roanoke VA.


Stephen shared "Peace has been chasing me my entire life and finally caught up with me. Peace is my purpose as revealed to me through experiencing violence, physical and verbal abuse, and racism. I finally stopped fighting against my purpose and started fighting for systemically and historically oppressed people."   


In addition to hearing from Stephen, the day will include break-out sessions for discussion of the material, and an interfaith prayer service. We will raise our voices simultaneously with people from around the globe on this day to pray for Peace in our world.

A peaceful, joyful contemplative event to begin the Advent season! The Taize service fed my soul and the wonderful St. Francis Springs kitchen staff fed our physical bodies as well with a delicious meal afterwards!

St. Francis Springs is my go-to place whenever I need to step out of the noise and busyness of life and find a place for solitude. The staff is amazing, the meals are delicious and the quiet beauty of nature that surrounds you is soul-nourishing.

This was a single-day event for me. It was well-done, length of time of the session was good, excellent speaker/moderator. The quiet atmosphere at St. Francis Springs was perfect for a World Peace Day event.
