Saint Frances Cabrini Parish

Peace Pole

On September 3, 2005, a Peace Pole was blessed and planted at St. Frances Cabrini by the youth group and the Secular Franciscans. The pole is a hand-crafted monument that displays the message and prayer May Peace Prevail on Earth on each of its four sides in different languages. There are more than 200,000 Peace Poles in 180 countries all over the world dedicated as monuments to peace. They serve as constant reminders for us to pray for world peace.
The Peace Pole links us with people all over the world who have planted their Poles in the same spirit of peace. Every Peace Pole proclaims the prayer May Peace Prevail on Earth in the language of the country and often several other languages as well.
The more than 200,000 Peace Poles around the world are on all continents, in every country you can think of. They are in simple places, such as churches and gardens, and extraordinary ones, such as at the Pyramids of El Giza, Egypt or the Magnetic North Pole in Canada. They are promoting healing of conflict in places like Sarajevo and the Allenby Bridge between Israel and Jordan.
Mayors in many parts of the world have planted Peace Poles to dedicate their cities and towns to world peace. Both political leaders, such as former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, and religious leaders, such as Pope John Paul II, Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama, have dedicated Peace Poles.
A Peace Pole dedication ceremony was organized by our youth ministry, the Secular Franciscans, and our Loved Ones in the Armed Forces ministry. Remember to pray for peace.
