On October 27, 1986, under the courageous leadership of St. John Paul II, religious leaders from around the world gathered in Assisi to pray for peace, inaugurating a movement of prayer, dialogue, and nonviolence. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, October 27, 2026, as the Diocese of Chalan Kanoa marks the 40th Anniversary of this historic event.
Join us at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cathedral in Chalan Kanoa for Holy Mass at 6:00 PM, followed by a Holy Hour and Prayer for World Peace. In these turbulent times, let us come together as one faith community to echo the prayer of St. Francis: “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.”
All parishioners and members of the community are warmly invited.
O God, who gave one origin to all peoples and willed to gather from them one family for yourself, fill all hearts, we pray, with the fire of your love and kindle in them a desire for the just advancement of their neighbour, that, through the good things which you richly bestow upon all, each human person may be brought to perfection, every division may be removed, and equity and justice may be established in human society. We ask this in your name, Amen.
