Care for Creation Day at the Sanctuary of St Patrick, Lough Derg, Co Donegal – Saturday 19 May 2018

The island setting at Lough Derg, an unspoilt corner of creation, offers the attraction of somewhere that’s a bit different to bring into consciousness how connected we are to each other and to creation. This new event will explore the call of Pope Francis in his encyclical Laudato Sí – Care For Our Common Home. Inputs and reflections will also centre on practical ways we can reclaim and make our contribution to the whole community of life.

Two guest speakers will share ways to begin and to promote flourishing communities of life for all life; relationships among people, with all God’s creatures and nature:

– Nellie McLaughlin RSM, is a founding member and director of Green Sod Land Trust, Ireland (2007)

– Dr Jonny Hanson is a Christian environmentalist and entrepreneur. He is the co-founder and managing director of Jubilee, a Christian creation care organisation, based in Drumalis, Larne.

Admission €45 pp includes welcome refreshments and light lunch.

The programme will run from 10.00am – 4.00pm (timings to be confirmed).
