“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing…” (Arundhati Roy) With this quote, Dr Sheila Curran, Mercy Sister and member of the Dublin City Interfaith Forum, concluded and thanked the many contributors and participants of the annual ‘Peace Day’ lecture. It was hosted by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Ray McAdam, at the Mansion House on 15th September 2025 and titled, ‘Seeds of Peace and Hope’. In collaboration with the Columban Missionaries, the Northern Ireland Interfaith Forum and Dublin City Council, the Chair of the Dublin City Interfaith Forum (DCIF), Archbishop Michael Jackson, guided us through a selection of speakers. From our church, Pr Florian, Pr i.E. Martin and our guest from California, Pr Sanna, attended the conference. They could listen to the amazing speakers and contributors, who outlined very clearly the need to live and act as if ”justice, peace, and compassion” already reign, model empathy and fairness in our interactions and demonstrate to others that alternative ways of living are possible.
