Benedictines for Peace invites you to walk 25 miles—the length of Gaza—while praying for the peoples of this region and for an immediate ceasefire. Walk where you are and as you can. Walk with others or alone, outdoors or indoors, before Labor Day. More information is here.

This walk for Gaza is an act of prayerful solidarity with Gazans and a fundraiser for Mercy Corps, an organization working in Palestine since 1986. They are one of many organizations working to get essential lifesaving items such as clean water, food, hygiene supplies, and shelter materials to suffering people. Ask your friends and colleagues to sponsor your walking at $1, $5, or more per mile and to donate here. Please register your intent with BFP because we'd like to know how many of you are walking and praying with us.

 BFP is organizing one opportunity to walk together on August 21 at 5:00 p.m. Meet at Beach 1 on Presque Isle and walk together for five miles on the Multipurpose Trail. For more information, email [email protected]
