We are sorry to say that The Search for Peace project has been suspended for this year.
Look forward to a new look in 2008
The SEARCH FOR PEACE was first offered in 2001 by Father Jim Hogan who was then the pastor of Christ the King Parish in Missoula, Montana.
The SEARCH FOR PEACE is a simple effort to address the increasing problem of violence in our world. Since its inception it has become an annual project in which Missoula students of any age are invited to express their concept of peace through any creative medium.
Teachers and parents offer support and encouragement as students visualize realistic alternatives to violence. In the process we all are drawn to nurture, teach and express peace in our lives.
Creative thinking and expression teaches people of all ages that peace is not merely the absence of violence but is a positive reality in its own right.
The Search for Peace is open to all students in the Missoula area from elementary grades through the post graduate. there are no Sectarian or religious affiliations.
In 2004, 2nd & 4th graders of Lewis & Clark school composed a song you may hear by clicking the arrow below.
