St. John the Baptist of New Brighton - Bulletin 10/28/01


	Social Justice& METRO WIDE ECUMENICAL SERVICE FOR PEACE A metro-wide prayer service for peace will be held on Sunday, October 28 (today), 7:00 p.m. at the Cathedral of St. Paul. This service is sponsored jointly by ISAIAH, the Islamic Center of MN, Jewish Community Action, the Islamic Institute of MN, Jewish Community Relations Council, and the Archdiocesan Office for Social Justice. We are attempting to bring persons of all faiths together to offer our prayers for an end to terrorism. While we may feel helpless in the face of the terrorism we have experienced and the fear of future terrorist acts, we can come together to pray for an end to terrorism. This is an ideal opportunity to come together as Christians, Jews, and Muslims in peace and prayer. Please join us if you can. Bulletin Board& THANK YOU!
