Season of Creation 2023 - Let Justice and Peace Flow

Learn more about the Season of Creation which began September 1st and runs until October 4th. A worldwide celebration of prayer and action to protect our common home! We share the common call to care for creation. We are co-creatures and part of all that God has made. Our wellbeing is interwoven with the wellbeing of the Earth.

An invitation: Help bring attention to Laudato Si’

As a Laudato Si’ congregation, we encourage others to take to heart the message of Laudato Si’. Recently, several ACCC members attended a Laudato Si’ Movement webinar that proposed one simple mustard-seed action: at the end of mass, as you greet the priest and other parish staff, mention Laudato Si’ and ask if the parish is engaged in creation care. Then send them a follow-up email (open post for template) with a list of resources. Help spread the word!

Laudato Si Survey - Year Two

Last year during the Season of Creation, we asked you to fill out a survey to see what we as a province were doing that already addressed the seven Laudato Si' goals. Once again we are asking you to take the survey This will help us see how our situation has changed over the year and it will help us formulate objectives for year two.
