The work of the Maryknoll Office for
Global Concerns on peace is focused on identifying and eliminating the root causes of violence and conflict with a focus on specific regions, expressions of violence and areas of conflict affecting Maryknollers, and U.S. aggression and national security policy (e.g. war on terrorism and war in Iraq).The nexus of violence and poverty is clear. Unless we dedicate ourselves to building true human security for all, nations – especially the poor – will continue to fall victim to an unending cycle of economic, political and social violence.
We’re proud to partner with Odyssey Networks in the “Million Minutes for Peace" campaign. Together we're working to collect one million pledges to pray for peace for one minute at noon on the United Nations International Day of Peace (September 21). Please watch the 60-second video below and join us by pledging your prayer for peace. Thank you!
