Lasallian Week of Peace nears completion

The Farmer's Market

Events today (Friday, Oct. 8) for Lasallian Week of Peace include Fair Trade Friday from 8 to 11 a.m. in Saint Mary’s Hall and a Shack-a-thon event to raise awareness for the homeless from 8 p.m. Friday to 11 a.m. Saturday in the Plaza.

The Lasallian Week of Peace originated in 2006 during a meeting of Young Lasallians in Rome to encourage Lasallian schools to participate in one of the social justice initiatives of the church as well as to pray for world peace.

Campus Ministry and other groups sponsored events all week. The overall theme of the week has been “Blessed Are the Peacemakers.”
