Margaret “Peggy” O’Neill, SC, has dedicated her life to the service and education of others.
Sister Peggy earned her bachelor’s degree from St. Elizabeth University in Morristown, New Jersey; her master’s degree from Marquette University; and her doctorate from New York University. She taught at Iona College in Rochester, New York, for 25 years as a theology professor.
In 1986, Sister Peggy began serving in the Diocese of San Salvador, assisting refugees and accompanying them during the civil war that was raging in El Salvador at that time. In 2006 she opened El Centro Arte Para la Paz, an educational and cultural center that promotes peace through dance, art, and theological reflection, in Suchitoto, El Salvador. Through programs that strengthen cultural identity and unity within the community, teach skills to support self-sufficiency and critical thinking, promote environmental awareness, teach gender equality, explore nurturing spiritualities, and build bridges between cultures, the Center has served tens of thousands of people since its opening.
All are welcome.
