Seminarian workshop in Mexico
Prayers and actions for our common home continue during the Season of Creation. In this blog, we highlight some amazing activities that have taken place in various communities that were determined to “hope and act with creation”.
From Bolivia to Australia, with reflections on the possibility of a new liturgical season, testimonies from Ireland, bishops and prelates mentioning the Season of Creation in their homilies like this priest in Luanda, Angola, there are many different activities that highlight the importance of living our spirituality with creativity and connection to God’s gift of creation.
Help us continue to support inspiring activities like these around the world during the Season of Creation—your donation can make a difference in caring for our common home and empowering communities to take action for creation.
