The Blessing of the Peacemakers
The laureate is announced at the annual Blessing of the Peacemakers on the last weekend of January, the inaugural event of the annual Season for Nonviolence. They serve for a year, until the next Blessing. Their names are engraved on a peace pole in the courtyard of the Whitley Theological Center at Oblate School of Theology, where the annual ceremony is currently held.
