SUNDAY, October 2nd: Building Bridges Coalition to Dedicate Peace Pole at the St. George Ferry Terminal

September 30, 2011 – At the St. George ferry terminal this Sunday, the Building Bridges Coalition of Staten Island will dedicate a peace pole in an event that was postponed due to hurricane Irene.

The event is designed to be part of the commemoration of the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and was pl...anned to take place two Sundays before the 10th anniversary, but hurricane Irene forced organizers to postpone.

The peace pole has the message and prayer May Peace Prevail On Earth in 8 languages and was acquired by Building Bridges last year from the World Peace Prayer Society, a non-religious, non-political, not-for-profit grassroots organization associated with the Department of Public Information at the United Nations. The peace pole has been rotating in houses of worship across Staten Island since its Thanksgiving debut in November of 2010.

Participants will gather at 2 p.m. in front of St. Peter’s RC Church (53 St. Marks Place, Staten Island, NY 10301) for a prayer. They will walk with the peace pole to Al-Ihsan Mosque (406 St. Marks Place, Staten Island, NY 10301) and will stand there for a prayer. From there, the walk continues to the ferry terminal for the dedication of the peace pole, which will include the flags of the nations ceremony.
