Interfaith Peace Project founder Father Tom Bonacci, left, and Advisory Board member Walter Ruehlig stand proudly by the Peace Pole at City Hall in Antioch following the site’s recently completed dedication plaque and gardening.

The pole was installed Sept. 21, the U.N.-sponsored International Day of Peace. Inscribed with the words “May peace prevail on earth” in 12 languages common to our area, the pole is similar to poles planted at the base of Mt. Everest, the magnetic North Pole, Hiroshima and the Great Pyramids at Gaza.
