HUGE Turnout at Youth Dialogue

The number of people that came to our Dialogue for Youth this evening was Fabulous! Bishop Pfeiffer estimated approximately 350 were in attendance. The youth listened to each panel member discuss various aspects of their religions. They were then invited to sign up to join the Peace Ambassadors at a later date, to discuss ways to help young people work toward peace. The lists are still being compiled, but at quick glance, it looked like approximately 20 young adults signed up, saying that they would be interested in joining us.

Wouldn't it be wonderful for there to be a "Junior Ambassadors of Peace and Love" program?

After the Dialogue, the Youth were given the opportunity to ask questions. Several asked questions at the microphone, but many more came up after the final blessing to ask questions more informally.
A very successful event! Thank you to Lori Hines and Holy Angels Church for inviting us.

The Peace Panel dialogue for the youth of the city of San Angelo will be held at the hall of Holy Angels Parish on March 29, 2006 from 7:30 - 9:00 pm. Admission is free, but we are asking each person to bring one can of food, to be donated to the Daily Bread Soup Kitchen. While any food is appreciated, the Soup Kitchen would appreciate foods other than corn or green beans, as they already have plenty of these. We look forward to seeing you there!

Peace Ambassadors featured in Standard Times!

An article appeared in the San Angelo Standard Times "Faith" section today, featuring our group. Bryan Russell wrote a great article, quoting several of our members, and promoting the Panel Dialogue for Youth, which will be held on March 29.

Coexist

The word "Coexist", written with the symbols of the three major religions of the world, perfectly represents the mission of the our group.

Please Bring Canned Foods to 3/29 Discussion

In order to further promote our peaceful vision, we are asking all that attend to bring one can of food for the Concho Valley Regional Food Bank. Currently, the Food Bank hasplenty of green beans and corn on hand, so please bring other non-perishable foods- soup, chili, tuna, chicken, macaroni & cheese, etc. Thank you!

We'd love to hear from you!

Ambassadors to Speak on 3/29

An interfaith dialogue on peace is set for San Angelo youth on Wednesday, March 29th from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the parish hall of Holy Angels Catholic Church at the corner of Oxford and A&M streets.
The panel discussion is presented by the Ambassadors for Peace & Love, a gathering of representatives of 3 of the world's great religions each speaking about their approach to peace. Two Jewish, 2 Muslim, and 2 Christian people will each share their understanding of God's call to work for peace at home, in their city, in their country, and in the world.
The Ambassadors previously met for a similar dialogue at Sacred Heart Cathedral in January upon request of Bishop Michael Pfeifer, O.M.I. and also hosted a gourmet Valentine's lunch at the Wesley United Methodist Church Daily Bread Soup Kitchen complete with arias and chocolates.
All San Angelo youth are invited to the March 29th panel gathering. Adults are welcome too.
