The Benedictine Sisters are pleased to announce our 2026 Prophet of Peace: Mary Nelson, a healing presence in our midst and a prophetic witness for peace and justice

Mary is a leader, organizer, and advocate who can be found wherever she is needed, rolling up her sleeves and working for the common good.

Join us in celebrating Mary on Sunday, September 20 at 4:00 PM at Mount Saint Benedict Monastery. RSVP here: https://eriebenedictines.org/pages/prophet-of-peace-2026.html

join with Emmaus Soup Kitchen in expressing our gratitude!

Erie Singing Resistance stopped by the soup kitchen before dinner today to spread love and peace through music. Ten singers, led by Shari Gross (pictured last on the right), shared their voices and spirit with guests waiting in line and invited participation in songs like "Lead with Love."

Leading with LOVE? What better gift can we offer the world than our love?

The goal of Erie Singing Resistance is "to promote peaceful protest and support of our community through presence and song." The group is part of Presque Isle Rise Up.

Thank you to Erie Singing Resistance!
