Our Lenten Disarmament Vigil begins on Ash Wednesday, February 6 and continues on all of the Saturdays in Lent (February 9, 16 and 23, March 1, 8, 15 and 22).

Time: 11:30 to 12:30 across from the Administration Building at Bath Iron Works, Washington Street in Bath.

Bath Iron Works builds the Aegis Cruise Missile Destroyer, a nuclear capable weapon of mass destruction. Lent gives us an opportunity to move from our culture of excess and militarism towards a saner and compassionate peace through disarmament.

Join us during this period of reflection and change looking towards a new day when our children do not fear tomorrow, when our sons and daughters will not return from the killing fields physically broken and mentally disturbed, when our nation provides its citizens with adequate housing, adequate food, universal health care and an education that will enable them to provide, not only for their country, but for the world as a whole.
