Third graders at St. John Berchmans School in Chicago walk to eucharistic adoration in church to pray for peace in Syria on Sept. 6. They started the day with an all-school Mass then each class took turns in Eucharistic adoration until the afternoon. Archdiocesan Catholic schools took time to pray as a whole community for peace in Syria, the Middle East and throughout the day.
