Peace Sunday – Interview with Pat Gaffney
On Sunday, 18 January 2026, Roman Catholics around the world will celebrate Peace Sunday. Pope Leo has issued a message setting the theme for the Sunday: “Peace be with you all: towards an ‘unarmed and disarming’ peace.” In this podcast, we join with Pat Gaffney, former General Secretary of Pax Christi, to explore how she became involved in working for peace, the importance of Peace Sunday, Pope Leo’s message, and what Christians can do to work for peace.
