Observed annually on January 1 since 1968, World Day of Peace invites all people to pray and work for peace. Each year, the Holy Father offers a message reflecting on the dignity of the human person and our shared responsibility to build a more just and peaceful world.
Begin the year by praying for peace in our homes, communities and throughout the world.
Parish information: Share the Holy Father’s annual World Day of Peace message when available and include prayers for peace in parish celebrations.
