Release of Doves at St. Mary's Cathedral

[SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA] United Nations Australia and the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney celebrated in advance the International Day of Peace yesterday, Sunday the 20th of September, by releasing doves at the front of St. Mary's Cathedral, Sydney. 

The United Nations Australia urges military troops and violent groups around the globe to put down weapons immediately for a peaceful and harmonious world.

The second reading on the 25th Sunday of Ordinary Time (Year B) writes, "Where do these wars and battles between yourselves start? Isn't it precisely in the desires fighting inside your own selves? You want something and you haven't got it; so you are prepared to kill" (cf. James 3:16-4:3).

Below are some selected photos and clips of the event.
