Catholic Workers Join Global Witness for Nuclear Abolition at UN Conference
Catholic Workers engaged in prayer, protest, and acts of civil disobedience in activities held during the Third Meeting of the States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) earlier this month. The activities included the Ash Wednesday arrest of 17 activists outside the U.S. Mission to the UN. Archbishop John Wester of Santa Fe, New Mexico, celebrated Mass and administered ashes to activists prior to their action on Ash Wednesday, according to Catholic Workers who attended.
