The PEACE Initiative
A Movement Supporting Catholic Coffee-Farming Families in Nicaragua
Inspiration for the Name
The PEACE Initiative refers to the parish partnerships that build demand for coffee from Guadalupe Farms Cooperative. The PEACE Initiative is named after The Mountain of Peace - property of the Diocese of Matagalpa, Nicaragua, consecrated to Jesus through Our Lady by 65 bishops in 2014, and stewarded by the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. It is both a pilgrimage site and the home of one of the most recognized Catholic coffee farms in the world. This farm is part of Guadalupe Farms Cooperative.
The PEACE Fellowship: Coffee for Your Office and Events
You can help coffee-farming families by simply using our coffee at the office and parish events. We love supporting parish hospitality!
PEACE Mission Weekend (One-Time Collaboration)
A nationwide effort that invites parishes to partner with us in mission to drive support for Catholic families. Volunteers can sell our bagged specialty grade coffee for 5-10 minutes after weekend Masses. The coffee is shipped to the parish office. There is no cost to the parish and no obligation to pay for any unsold bags at the end of the weekend. Interested and have questions? Click the button below to send us a message.
