Solas Bhríde Centre and Into Kildare – Kildare Tourism Board, jointly launched a global Pause for Peace movement in Solas Bhríde Centre on January 12^th 2023. Since its launch the movement has gone global with groups in many countries observing the pause for peace.

The Pause for Peace reflects a spiritual underpinning to the national holiday in honour of St. Brigid and is consonant with the value of peace which St. Brigid stood for in her time.
“By pausing for peace, we send out a message that we actively oppose warfare and the proliferation of arms in our world.” Sr. Rita Minehan, Solas Bhríde

“This new Pause for Peace movement is a unique event which breaks new ground in recognising the cultural and historical importance of St. Brigid beyond boundaries and aims to form a spirit of solidarity and peace in societies all over the globe” President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins.
