Playing Your Part in Reconsidering Our Care for Creation

Monday 21st September 2020

Climate change is threatening creation: entire species are being made extinct, nature is suffering and the effects of climate change are disproportionately affecting the world’s poorest communities.

The effect of climate change is not a problem that we can just leave to governments to remedy. They must play their part but Pope Francis tells us that we are all required, every one of us, to make changes to our lives and begin to repair the damage before matters become irreversible.

Five years on from Laudato Si, we can all play our part in tackling this problem.

How you can play your part

We have produced resources that we hope will complement each other encouraging joint working with parishes and schools and offering suggestions of practical actions which you can adopt at home.

We have created resources which suggest practical actions by focusing on a different R: reduce, reuse, recycle, rewild and reclaim.

We have also written our diocesan prayer for our common home. You are welcome and encouraged to use this prayer going forward.
