The IRICD Program of the Marist Asia Foundation aims to build a community that cultivates
mutual respect and understanding, along with justice and peace among diverse faith traditions
and cultures. It encourages dialogue and collaboration among adherents of different faith
traditions, such as Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and other local traditions, to address
common challenges and celebrate shared values. Through various initiatives, including IRICD
seminar workshops, interreligious leaders’ encounters, community gatherings, and educational
activities, the program facilitates the promotion of dialogue, reconciliation, peace, social
cohesion, and harmony. Inter-religiously and inter-culturally, we can become bearers of peace
and harmony in Ranong and beyond.
