CAPITOL Hill.  Thursday, September 5, 2013 —- The Executive Vice President of the Capitol Hill-based Irish National Caucus, Barbara J. Flaherty, has been appointed Roving Ambassador for Peace by the World Peace Corps Mission.

Ms. Flaherty said: “I told Dr. Han Min Su that I accepted this great honor with deep gratitude and with all due humility. I see it as an extension of the work I have been privileged to do with Fr. Sean Mc Manus over all these years.”
 
Fr. Mc Manus was last week appointed as one of the twelve international and inter-faith Judges on the World Peace Prize Awarding Council.
