We are inviting people of all religious and spiritual traditions (atheists welcome too) to gather near the gates of the Nevada nuclear Test Site. Surrounded by the beautiful desert land, we will pray together for an end to nuclear weapons development and other war preparations. Ceremony will be facilitated by Father Louie Vitale, OFM and Father Jerry Zawada, OFM. We will then invite people to take nonviolent action at the Test Site gates.Please note the time change - we will gather at the Test Site gates from 7 to 10 am. We will also be having a community teach-in and potluck that evening at 4 pm at St. James the Apostle Church in Las Vegas. During this meeting we will prepare for a vigil the next morning (in Las Vegas) at the Nevada Site Operations office of the DOE.
