Listening with the ear of their hearts to the recent tragedy at Rutgers University and remembering Columbine, PBJ answered THE CALL and went into action.
Our Peace & Justice Campus Ministers made 295 origami peace cranes in an effort to spread the message of Peace into our communities. The Peace cranes originated with a little girl named Sadako, who had lived over fifty years ago.
Sadako was a little girl who had leukemia as a result of the explosion of the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima. She started to fold paper cranes in the hospital a year before she was to die. Her wish was that there would be no more war in the world and only peace would prevail on earth.
We continue this practice of Peace at Benedictine Academy. Our Campus Ministers wrote a message of peace on each of the wings of the paper cranes. These peace cranes will fly free over Dr. Michael Fowlin at the conclusion of his presentation next week. It is the first part of our program to raise awareness against hatred and bullying. The Peace & Justice Club's Mission is to promote peace and protect the inherent dignity of every human being.
