De Porres Center Activities

International Day of Peace

The International Day of Peace ("Peace Day") - September 21 - provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of peace on a shared date. It was established by a United Nations resolution in 1981 to coincide with the opening of the General Assembly. Campus Ministry provides programming on this day centered on the multiple ways that peace can be kept, shared, and reflected upon.
