The Peace Abbey

A coalition of local peace groups, including the Community Voices, the Walpole Peace and Justice Group, the Blessed Sacrament Social Justice Committee, and the Peace Abbey will be conducting a One World Peace Walk on Saturday, Aug. 6.

The purpose of the walk is to demonstrate a commitment to world peace.

The walk will be held rain or shine. Walkers will convene at the Norwood Common at 1:45 PM for a 2 p.m. opening ceremony. The walk will proceed 4.6 miles along Rte. 1A to the Walpole Common.

Walkers may want to park their cars in Walpole and take the MBTA bus to Norwood Center. Water stops will be provided for walkers as well as a support car. During the walk, we will carry a small replica of the Sherborn Peace Abbey memorial stone for "Unknown Civilians Killed in War." The walk will end at approximately 4:30 with a closing ceremony, refreshments, and a group sing led by local musicians. Members of the public are invited to participate in the walk and the closing ceremonies.
