The WESTMINSTER PEACE PRIZE
The Westminster Peace Prize recognizes an individual or group whose efforts have made an important contribution to peace and reconciliation in our community or world. This award is presented each October, and is funded by our congregational portion (25%) of the annual Peace and Global Witness Offering
The recipient of the 2024 Westminster Peace Prize was June Lorenzo, who was our International Peacemaker guest in October. June is an attorney and human rights advocate, as a member of the Dine (Navajo) Nation and the Laguna Pueblo, and an Elder at Laguna Presbyterian Church in New Mexico. She has been an advocate for the rights of Indigenous Peoples at the local, state, national, and international levels. She also works on uranium legacy issues - related to protection of sacred sites.
​
The Peace Prize funds went, in June's honor, to the PCUSA Native American Church Property Fund, which assists native congregations to care for their churches.
