Jane Mellet has shared this news with us:
As you may have heard, Pope Francis will visit Dublin for the World Meeting of Families event in August 2018. During the festival we are inviting all pilgrims into a conversation about ‘Our Common Home’. This exciting project is in collaboration with the Laudato Si Ireland Committee, Trócaire and the Global Catholic Climate Movement.
Pope Francis has called each of us, in ‘Laudato Si’ to live wisely, think deeply and love generously. He calls each of us to listen to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor who suffer the most from environmental destruction. During the WMoF festival pilgrims will be able to visit ‘Our Common Home’ eco-spaces and join in prayer, discussion and action in caring for our beautiful planet. We will hear the eco-stories of families from around the world and discover more about how we, as family, can care more for our beautiful world.
People can register as Eco-volunteers on the main website if they wish to get involved or contact ‘Our Common Home’ project co-ordinator: [email protected]
“In the family too, we can rethink our habits of consumption and join in caring for the environment as our common home.” (Amorist Laetitia, #277)
