At School to Build Peace – News from the Custodia Schools

With the beginning of September, some 12,000 youngsters of the Terra Sancta Schools of the Custodia have begun the new school year. A message of peace comes for them and from them. “Our mission is to educate for peace. Our schools are laboratories of peace,” said Fra Ibrahim Faltas, the Custody Vicar and director of all the 18 schools of the Custody.

From the very first day, and every day, the school activities begin with Christians and Muslims, pupils and teachers, reciting together the “simple prayer” attributed to St Francis and repeating the words, “Make me an instrument of Your peace.”
