Interfaith & Intercultural Blessing
The Blessing is an opportunity for couples and families from all backgrounds to reaffirm the values of love, fidelity, mutual respect and commitment, while joining with people of different faiths and cultures in expressing a common hope for peace.
We believe that peaceful societies begin with healthy relationships and strong families. By strengthening the bonds between people, families and communities, we can help create a culture of peace for future generations.
