ABOUT PATHWAYS TOWARD PEACE

Pathways Toward Peace is a ministry that began in response to the murder of George Floyd in 2020. The group began meeting to discuss issues of race and inequality, and how they affect our community. The group has been meeting every two weeks for nearly a year via Zoom, and has hosted several events including a family-friendly Black Lives Matter rally, movie nights, and guests lecturers. Affectionately known as “P2P” by members, Pathways has grown to include members of the communities of St. Benedict Parish, St. Mary of the Lake Parish, and beyond.
