SUMMARY:Online Commemoration Service: Catholic Sisters Unite in Prayer to Remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki Victims\, Call for Nuclear Abolition
DESCRIPTION:37 religious organizations join annual commemoration growing each year since 2024 \nWhat began two years ago as a small gathering of faith-filled voices has become a powerful annual witness to peace. On Thursday\, August 6\, 2026\, at 6:00 pm CDT\, the Franciscan Peace Center and the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration will host their third annual Hiroshima Nagasaki Prayer Service via Zoom and open to all. \nThis year’s theme\, “From Remembrance to Abolition\,” calls participants to prayerfully honor those killed in the 1945 bombings while renewing their commitment to a world free from nuclear weapons\, weapons that\, today\, number more than 12\,000 warheads held by the world’s nuclear-armed states. \nThe service has grown steadily: 14 co-sponsoring congregations and more than 525 registrants in 2024; 16 co-sponsors and over 1\,100 participants in 2025.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Divest Philly from the War Machine
DESCRIPTION:We’re campaigning to divest Philly from nukes. Four of the financial institutions that manage the Pension Board’s assets — Lord Abbett High Yield\, Ariel Capital Holdings\, Fiera Capital\, and Northern Trust — collectively have billions invested in nuclear weapons. We’re urging the Philadelphia Board of Pensions to instruct these asset managers to exclude the top nuclear weapons producers from the City’s holdings. \nJoin us on the 1st Sunday of the month at 2:30pm-3:30pm on Zoom to learn more about the Divest Philly from the War Machine campaign and how to get involved. Please contact Greta at greta@worldbeyondwar.org for more information and the Zoom link.
