Benedictines for Peace (BFP) carries the ancient quest for peace into contemporary times. As the peace and justice outreach of the Erie Benedictine community, BFP members advocate for nonviolence, social change, and justice by direct action, prayer, and bearing witness. Benedictines are the oldest religious order in the Roman Catholic Church. Born in late antiquity when marauding armies made all civilization vulnerable to violence, Benedictines adopted as their motto the Latin word "pax" (peace). The central teaching in the 1500-year-old Rule of Benedict is that everyone, including every stranger, is to be welcomed as a blessing and treated as Christ.

Our members include Benedictine Sisters and Oblates, as well as many others who share our commitment to peace and nonviolence.
