Welcome to The Peace Abbey Community website!
LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND REPARATION: We formally acknowledge that The Peace Memorial Park in Sherborn, MA, is situated on the traditional homelands of the Massachusett people. Recognizing the Indigenous communities whose lands we inhabit is important, but it is even more imperative to commit to meaningful reparations. We have taken a significant step in this direction through the establishment of the Native Land Reparation Pledge. We invite you to join us in this vital initiative. Let us remember that actions speak louder than words!
TAKE THE PLEDGE.

The caisson is presently on Hart Island NYC holding the Global Pandemics Touchstone. Once the touchstone is permanently placed at the site where over one million New Yorkers are buried in mass, unmarked graves, it will be dispatched to the Middle East where it will carry a granite stone to be pulled between major locations where armed conflict has wreaked havoc on civilian populations.

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Peace Abbey Foundation is to create and install public works of art that promote peace and nonviolence; and to administer and care for Abbey Interfaith Peace Chaplaincy, The Pacifist Memorial, The Animal Rights Memorial, Abbey Cremation Cemetery for Conscientious Objectors, and the National Registry for Conscientious Objection. Throughout the year, the Foundation presents the Int’l Courage of Conscience Award at conferences and peace ceremonies and extends the impact of the Peace Seeds interfaith prayers for peace through their dissemination worldwide.
We conduct and support programs that bring together and promote the cooperation of people of different faith traditions and non-theists as well. We do this in the spirit of the 1986 International Day of Prayer for World Peace, as celebrated that year by religious leaders from around the globe in Assisi, Italy.
The Foundation supports grassroots efforts to link the many dimensions of the peace movement with a committed emphasis on human rights and animal rights. We recognize these two dimensions of intrinsic rights as inextricably interconnected, just as social and economic justice require environmental sustainability and deep respect for the biosphere. Central to our universalist approach is the premise that nonviolence is the most effective and long-term strategy in addressing the multitude of challenges that now threaten our increasingly imperiled planet.

INAUGURATION DAY PROTEST MARCH
By Julia Beauregard

On Monday, January 20, at precisely noon, the Peace Abbey Foundation hosted a peaceful demonstration at Pacifist Memorial Park. This event coincided with Inauguration Day and the Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service. Participants gathered to stand in solidarity against the global rise of authoritarianism and dictatorship, which organizers argue threaten democracy.
According to the Peace Abbey Foundation, the gathering was a call to action, honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy while advocating for justice, equality, and freedom. Organizers highlighted the importance of peaceful protest as a means to safeguard democratic values and resist initiatives like Project 2025 and the MAGA agenda. READ MORE
