Peace Pole Dedication Ceremony

June 14 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

We are thrilled to share that the August 2024 issue of Rotary Magazine features an inspiring article about the Peace Pole project championed by Rotary International President Stephanie Urchick. This global initiative beautifully reflects our shared commitment to building a culture of peace and understanding across borders.

A Peace Pole is more than just a monument—it’s a beacon of hope, displaying the heartfelt message, “May Peace Prevail on Earth,” in the language of its host country and several others. Our District’s Peace Pole will proudly feature this message in 14 different languages, each representing and honoring our 14 inbound Youth Exchange students for Rotary Year 2024-25. Each language and flag is a tribute to the rich diversity and unity that Rotary stands for.

With over 250,000 Peace Poles standing as monuments to peace in every country around the globe, each one serves as an affirmation of our commitment to harmony, understanding, and friendship among all people. The message, authored by Masahisa Goi of Japan after the tragedies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, has become a universal call for peace.

You’re Invited!

The Rochester Rotary International Service Committee is excited to bring this vision to life in our own community! We invite you, your family, and your friends to join us for a special Peace Pole Dedication Ceremony at our beloved Sunshine Camp:

Date: Saturday, June 14th

Time: 10:00 AM

Location: Sunshine Camp

Let’s come together as Rotarians and friends to celebrate this powerful symbol of peace. Help us welcome District Governor Dave and Ann DeMers as they preside over the ceremony. This is a wonderful opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to “Service Above Self” and to inspire unity among people of all cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs.

Let’s make this a memorable event—your presence will make all the difference!

May Peace Prevail on Earth.
