MISSION OF PEACE

Statement of Purpose

Our Lord Jesus Christ challenges us to become Peacemakers who will:

• Explore ideas on the building of peace, particularly stressing and nurturing the development of confidence and trust between people.
  
• Understand the unique role of Christians in creating shalom.
  
• Dispel myths and stereotypes about people of other cultures.
  
• Meet youth and adults to exchange ideas about faith and the role of the Church in the world.
  
• Talk about our hopes and fears within a global community.
