Father Jim Hogan's Search for Peace
In 2001, Fr. Jim Hogan challenged the community to look to young people as we struggle to find peace in our world. He believed that our children and young adults could offer us an inspiring perspective. In the years since, we have enjoyed multi-media artwork submitted by many Missoula area youth. This has evolved into a search for the stories of peacemaking being lived out in our midst because it is these real life experiences that truly challenge and inspire us to find peace in our world. Please submit your nomination for a young person who, in their home, school and/or community, has shown us a vision of what peace and peacemaking looks like. A committee of their peers will choose one of these stories to highlight and be recognized at a celebration. The following criteria will be used in making the decision.
- Age 5-18
- Commitment to peace, justice, and/or environmental sustainability.
- Nominee(s) may be a group or individual
- A role model among their peers who walks the walk of nonviolence, social justice, and sustainability.
