Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur
Hiroshima-Nagasaki Virtual Prayer Service
On August 6, 2025, women religious across the country will join in a virtual prayer service to commemorate the tragic events of August 1945, when the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. The event is being organized by the Franciscan Peace Center, a ministry of the Sisters of St. Francis, Clinton, Iowa, and Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration on the anniversary of these bombings that resulted in the deaths of over 200,000 people and marked a somber chapter in human history.
Joining the organizers, the event is co-sponsored by numerous women religious communities that share a dedication to peacebuilding, including SNDdeN Ohio.
The virtual prayer service will take place via Zoom on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at 7 pm EDT. The event will be recorded. Please join us by registering in advance here: http://bit.ly/4l3a60s
