Mass for Peace

Join Bishop Schuster to help us commemorate the 80th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, Japan at our Annual Mass for Peace. 

All are invited to pray for continued peace in our world and reflect on the tragedy of war. 

Attend mass in person or livestream on Vimeo, Facebook or YouTube @ArchdioceseofSeattle  

After Mass there will be a reception with Jim Thomas author of Atomic Pilgrim in the Isaac Orr Conference room. Jim will share highlights from his book followed by a Q&A and book signing.

Jim Thomas biography:

While serving in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, Jim began advocating for nuclear disarmament as a member of the Bethlehem Peace Pilgrimage. He spent the next quarter century investigating radioactive pollution from the production and testing of nuclear weapons, mostly focused on the Hanford Site in south-central Washington State.

Jim directed life, justice, and peace ministry for the Diocese of Spokane (1984-1987), the Archdiocese of Seattle (2007-2015), and the Washington State Catholic Conference (2015-2020). He has a master’s in theology from Gonzaga University. He continues to work for peace and nuclear disarmament with local and national organizations. Jim and his wife Jan live in Seattle.
