International Day of Peace

Recently, students at LaurenHill Academy, along with Spiritual Community Animator Elizabeth Pellicone accompanied a group of Secondary III students to the Arrondissement de Saint-Laurent International Day of Peace Ceremony in Parc Beaudet. Students opened the ceremony by reading a selection of peace quotes taken from various philosophers and important peace activists from around the world and throughout history. Quotes were taken from such figures as Malala Yousafzai, Jean Vanier, Saint Francis of Assisi, Helder Camara and John Lennon and read in various languages, including Greek, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, French and English.
