Pace e Bene Location from Pace e Bene Nonviolence Service

Pace e Bene was founded in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1989. It has offices and meeting space in a low-income neighborhood in North Las Vegas.

After Louie Vitale had recently finished his stint as provincial of the Franciscan Friars of California, based in Oakland, he wanted to create a project that would seek to identify and transform society’s patterns of violence. At the same time, he wanted to return to Las Vegas where he had worked years before and where the Nevada Desert Experience was located, which Vitale had co-founded in 1984.
