Only Peace Brings Peace
Where did we ever get the idea that war could bring peace? Violence only brings more violence, not only for those who are on the receiving end but for those who perpetrate it.
We are smarter than this. Resistence to violence can take many forms. To become a society that values peace, we must learn non-violent and peaceful ways to resist violence and create change.
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Gandhi.
This is powerful. Watch Pathways to Peace.

Cantus Sings
In May we enjoyed a delightful evening listening to Cantus Vocal Ensemble. Cantus is a men’s vocal ensemble that also trains and teaches high school choirs and ensembles.
The evening we heard them they performed, but also directed 5 high school choirs and ensembles. After intermission, a mass choir performed comprised of Cantus and all the other choirs combined. Fresh, energetic voices. Smiling faces. Their performance was stunning.
Cantus’ upcoming Covers Concerts are June 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, and 12. Get tickets at CantusSings.org.
Here’s something fabulous to put on your calendar –
Cantus Vocal Ensemble will be performing on Sunday, June 19th at 2:00pm. This is a free concert at Lake Harriet. Join Cantus for a perfect way to celebrate Father’s Day!
