BOUNTIFUL — From tiny pre-kindergarten students to eighth-graders, students at St. Olaf Catholic School joined tens of millions of Catholics nationwide in a Day of Prayer for Peace in their communities Friday afternoon.

Shortly before 1 p.m., some 168 students gathered in the school foyer for prayer and a moment of silence followed by all students singing "Let There Be Peace on Earth."

Folded paper cranes, butterflies and doves that carried students' messages of peace adorned the school entrance.

The student body was led in prayer by the school's eighth-graders, who asked God to fill them with mercy so they may be merciful to others.
