Peace Center

The Peace Center strives to "build peace, preach peace, and be peace" in Gert Town. 

Staff and volunteers share educational, social, and spiritual support with our neighbors. Collaborating with local partners, the Peace Center offers education and recreational programming for local children, career education and social support for adults, and physical, social, and community support for elderly residents, serving nearly 2,500 people annually

For over 800 years, Dominicans have answered the call to serve. In 2013, the Dominican Sisters saw a need in Gert Town-an area still struggling after Hurricane Katrina-and took action.

Today, The Peace Center is a lifeline for children, adults, and seniors, offering education, job support, and community programs that create real change.
