Peace Tour Inaugurates UPF in the Dominican Republic
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic - Dr. and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon were met at the airport by Senator Ramon Alburquerque as they arrived for the inauguration of the Universal Peace Federation in the Dominican Republic. They had received an invitation to visit President Leonel Fernandez in the Presidential offices but were unable to accept the invitation due to their busy schedule.
The main event began at 6:30 PM. The hall at the Fiesta Hotel was completely packed with approximately 1300 guests. The program was well organized and the audience was spirited and attentive throughout Father Moon’s peace message.
Rev. Cesar Regalado was emcee. Senora Diana Contreras offered an introduction to the Founder’s life and history of accomplishment. Senator Ramon Alburquerque made a special presentation to Father and Mother Moon, and also received a Leadership and Good Governance Award.
The event included an invitation for couples to join in a world peace blessing toast of marriage rededication.
Both the Dominican Republic and Santo Domingo are named after St. Dominic, who founded the religious order known as the Order of Preachers, or Dominicans, the most famous of whom was St. Thomas Aquinas.
