The parishoners of Tuam have been working to care for the earth:
Sr Agnes Curley wrote a song about climate change which she has sung at parties to spread the environmental message and it has recently been published in the Sisters of Mercy newsletter. She is going to meet up with Leo Moran of the Saw Doctors and see if they can develop it more.
Students from the four local secondary schools in Tuam planted trees reminding us of their value to the environment and to encourage parishoners to care for the earth. These trees are laden with blossoms and now have a profusion of berries for the birds. The schools involved were Mercy Presentation, St Jarlath’s and Archbishop McKale College.
The local primary school children presented ‘fruits of the earth’ at their special children’s Harvest Mass (see photo below).
A special Prayer for Creation was recited before Mass each day for the month of October during Creation Time.
