Cathedral of Saint Andrew Hosting Day of Prayer for Peace This Friday

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Grand Rapids is hosting an Interfaith Day of Prayer for Peace to unite the community in a time of racial and political division. The Grand Rapids celebration is part of a national Day of Prayer called for by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Day of Prayer will be celebrated across the United States to stress the need to find additional ways of nurturing an open, honest and civil dialogue on issues of race relations, restorative justice, mental health, economic opportunity, and pervasive gun violence.

Very Rev. John Geaney, CSP, Rector of the Cathedral of Saint Andrew is inviting West Michigan community leaders, law enforcement officers, activists and citizens to an interfaith prayer service at the Cathedral of Saint Andrew on Friday, Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. Members of all faiths are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Churches, Mosques and Temples in the Grand Rapids area are invited to join a ringing of Bells which will take place at 3pm across the Country as a reminder of the need for peace.

The observance and service is this coming Friday, September 9, from 10-11:30 a.m., at  The Cathedral of Saint Andrew, 301 Sheldon Ave SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49503.
