Catholic Nonviolence Days of Action 2023
September 21 @ 8:00 am – October 2 @ 5:00 pm EDT
The Catholic Nonviolence Days of Action take place from 21 September (International Day of Peace) until 2 October (International Day of Nonviolence and Gandhi’s birthday). During this time, people worldwide are encouraged to come together in solidarity to promote and celebrate nonviolence. Aligned with Campaign Nonviolence, the Week of Prayer for Peace in Palestine and Israel, and the Season of Creation, this event provides an opportunity to recognise the power of nonviolence in our faith and around the globe.
Blessed are the feet of those who bring nonviolence
This year’s theme is ‘Blessed are the feet of those who bring nonviolence.’ It calls for embracing the work of the Catholic Nonviolence Initiative and the Vow of Nonviolence. You can learn about CNI initiatives and take part in prayer and reflection individually or with your parish community.
