Interfaith Candlelight Prayer Vigil for Peace
Wednesday, July 20, 2016, 7:30 pm
Santa Teresa Catholic Church
794 Calero Avenue, San Jose, California
In light of the recent violence in Baton Rouge, Turkey, France, Baghdad, Dallas and various other places, we invite you to an interfaith prayer service for peace.
Join us so that we can pray together for the victims of violence and the strength to combat it by being peacemakers.
We will pray for the courage to take action on behalf of those suffering injustice and to comfort those suffering from violence.
We will pray together to remind ourselves of God’s presence within all of us so that we can focus on what gives us hope, and what moves us to act on our concern for peace and justice in our world.
We will gather to remember our common dignity, our unique heritage as children of God, and our interconnectedness as brothers and sisters in the one human family.
