Peace Pole Re-dedication 2019

In 2017, the Norwich Community installed four Peace Poles, sponsored by the four Rotary Groups in the community.  A Peace Pole is an internationally-recognized symbol of the hopes and dreams of the entire human family, standing vigil in silent prayer for peace on earth. Each Peace Pole bears the message May Peace Prevail on Earth in different languages on each of its four sides that represent the languages and cultures that make up our City. There are tens of thousands of Peace Poles in nearly every country (180) in the world dedicated as monuments to peace and our shared values. People of all faiths have been involved in Peace Pole dedications, including the XIV Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, President Jimmy Carter, Deepak Chopra and John Denver, as well as mayors, clubs and Girl Scouts.
