"
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God." (Matthew 5) In anticipation of our convocation speaker, Dr. Michael Fowlin, our Peace & Justice Campus Ministers gathered together to make
295 origami peace cranes. Sadako was a little girl who had developed leukemia as a result of the explosion of the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima. She started to fold paper cranes in the hospital a year before she was to die. Her wish was that there would be no more war in the world and only peace would prevail on earth.
We continue this practice of Peace at Benedictine Academy. Our Campus Ministers wrote a message of peace on each of the wings of the paper cranes.
These peace cranes will fly free over Dr. Michael Fowlin at the conclusion of his presentation this Thursday, November 4. Come and join us as we are made instruments of God's peace.
