We invite you to a virtual Festival of Hope on Sunday at 7 pm (Eastern) for Patrick O’Neill as he enters prison for the disarmament action at the Kings Bay Trident base in Georgia more than two years ago. He is scheduled to report to the federal prison in Elkton, OH on January 14 to serve the remaining 12 months of his 14 month sentence. Judge Wood recently denied his request for a delay until he could be vaccinated.

The program will feature talks from Jeannine Hill-Fletcher, a professor of religion at Fordham University who testified at the Religious Freedom Restoration Act hearing and Paul Magno, a fellow plowshares activist with Patrick in the Pershing Plowshares in 1984. Steve Dear will present a slideshow. Some of the other KBP7 are expected to speak.

Music will be provided by Luci Murphy, blues guitarist Scott Ainslie and by Patrick’s daughters, Annie and Veronica. There will be a concluding blessing from Fr. Bob Cushing.
