The University of Dayton, at its monthly gathering around the peace pole on campus, will use this session for the “Prayers of the Heart” to pray for an end to what led to the events in Charlottesville, Fr. Jim Fitz, S.M., UD vice president for mission and rector, said in a prepared statement.

The gathering at the peace pole is scheduled for 12:15 p.m., according to the statement.

“Let us as a University committed to the promotion of the common good do all we can to uphold the dignity of all people. Let us pray for an end to the violence, hate, and racism that led to the events in Charlottesville. Let us pray and work to build community amidst diversity,” Fitz said in the statement.
