☮️INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR DISARMAMENT AWARENESS

March 5th marks the International Day for Disarmament Awareness which seeks to promote better awareness and understanding of disarmament issues among the public.

🎬Watch Archbishop Nolan's powerful reflection at Faslane, recorded at our last Christian Peace Vigil held there in August 2024, as he calls on the nine nuclear powers to stop mistakenly viewing weapons of mass destruction as comfort blankets and co-operate to rid the world of nuclear weapons.

✝️Today is also Ash Wednesday, so to mark both the holy day when we are called to repentance through turning away from sin and being faithful to the gospel and the International Day of Disarmament Awareness, Justice & Peace Scotland will join Glasgow Catholic Worker and Pax Christi Scotland this afternoon for an Ash Wednesday liturgy at Faslane, the home of the UK's weapons of mass destruction. Our guest of honour will be life-long Catholic peace activist, Martha Ines Romero, who is the Secretary General of Pax Christi International and is currently visiting Scotland on a Catholic peacebuilding and non-violence speaking tour.
