From the 4th<\/sup> to 11th<\/sup> of September, the diocese of Tumaco and the Tumaco Social Pastoral Ministry organized the Week for Peace, whose theme this year was \u00abOn the path of truth, a country of hope and dignity\u00bb. The launch took place in the presence of the bishop of Tumaco, Monsignor Orlando Olave, the staff of the Social Ministry, the media and many artists. The opening of the Week for Peace was marked by a procession with banners For Life and For Peace.<\/p>\n

On the occasion of the opening of the Week of Peace, Monsignor Orlando Olave blessed a statue of St. Therese of the Child Jesus placed in the grounds of the Carmelite parish, of which he is the titular. The statue commemorates the 150th<\/sup> anniversary of the birth of Therese and her recognition by UNESCO as an important figure for humanity, as an example of a woman who promoted the values of peace.<\/p>\n

On September 8, the \u00abGallery of Memory\u00bb<\/em> exhibition was held in the square of the parish of Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, under the responsibility of the Tumaco House of Memory<\/em>. This place is aiming to build up the collective memory of all those who have been protagonists or witnesses of the social struggles and contemporary history of our country. The families, companions and friends of all these moving forces were invited to the Gallery<\/em>. We remember them to remember and to remind us that the events that are bloodying our country must not be repeated.<\/p>\n
