Last year, 11,000 trees were planted in San Antonio. Let’s keep planting seeds for trees and compassion.William Luther
Since 2006, the peaceCENTER has celebrated San Antonio’s peacemakers with a Blessing of the Peacemakers, held the last Sunday of January to dovetail with the start of the internationally recognized Season for Nonviolence. This season stretches from the anniversaries of the assassinations of Mahatma Gandhi on Jan. 30 and Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4.
A global grassroots movement began observing the season to uplift nonviolence as a powerful way to heal, transform and empower our lives and communities. We in the peaceCENTER connected our local ritual to this international effort.
