The Niall O’Brien Center is a peace center of the Philippine section of the peace movement Pax Christi. It is located in the province capital of Bacolod City on the island Negros, approximately one hour flight South of Manila.

As a “service center” of Pax Christi, the Niall O’Brien Center follows the guiding idea of reconciliation and the (re-) building of relationships. After strategies of conflict resolution failed to bring any solutions to the numerous armed and often violent hostilities, members of the peace movement searched for other opportunities and strategies for peace processes on the interpersonal level.

The Niall O’Brien Center was founded in 2004 as a service center for the peace movement in Negros and in the Philippines.

It is named honoring the late Irish Columban priest Fr. Niall O’Brien (1943-2004), a Philippine hero of active nonviolence and founding member of Pax Christi Pilipinas.
