SEASON OF CREATION<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the Season of Creation 2023 give us enthusiasm to redouble our efforts to protect creation. Join the river of justice and peace with others so that hope is created and \u2018change can happen\u2019. After a summer of heightened global temperatures causing extensive bush fires in many places, floods nearer home and intensifying the eutrophication of Lough Neagh on our own doorstep! Could we look with new eyes on what we can do? Has the \u2018Reduce, Reuse, Recycle\u2019 slogan passed its \u2018sell by date\u2019? Do we need to take on board a stronger and more emphatic buzz-line such as \u2018Cut-out, Cut-down, Cherish and conserve\u2019? We too can join the flow of justice for the protection of our earth.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This weekend marks the end of the Season of Creation, 2023, which started on 1st September and ends on 4th October – the feast of St Francis of Assisi.
